A proposed homestead tax repeal pits seniors’ relief against schools, cops and local budgets. In this 3-minute condensed summary (original 20 minutes), hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti break down Ron DeSantis’ plan to eliminate homestead property taxes in Florida and the $18.5 billion fiscal gap it would create.

Hear the political framing — “own your property free and clear” — and why experts call the move a generational giveaway.
