Two Democratic Florida prosecutors suspended by Gov. Ron DeSantis will seek reelection in 2024 as one fights his removal in a federal appeals court.

Mr. DeSantis suspended State Attorney Andrew Warren of the 13th Judicial Circuit in August 2022 after Mr. Warren said he would not enforce Florida’s 15-week abortion ban and supported “gender-affirming care” for minors. The 13th Circuit covers Hillsborough County.
