With flags in multiple states ordered to full-staff for the presidential inauguration Monday — along with the U.S. Capitol flags — Gov. Ron DeSantis decided Florida will follow suit. Why it matters: Flags were lowered to half-staff nationwide for 30 days of mourning after the Dec.

Republicans in particular are looking at this weekend as an opportunity to celebrate what they perceive as the greatest political comeback in history.

There are still two weeks to go in the mourning period for former president Jimmy Carter, when American flags are directed to be flown at half-staff.
