Jackie Kennedy and Melania Trump.

But Casey’s former colleagues at local station WJXT told Vanity Fair earlier this year: “I remember once saying [to a colleague], ‘Casey wants to be a senator’s wife.’ And he said, ‘No, she has every intention of being the wife of a president.'”
Casey follows in the fashion footsteps of modern day royals like Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and Queen Letizia of Spain, who have donned the cape dress in a variety of shades and iterations.
The refined simplicity of the dress and the look were also reminiscent of screen icon Audrey Hepburn, known for her understated style that accentuated her petite frame.

Ron, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, was sworn in for a second term Tuesday, saying freedom lives in Florida.
Ron defeated Democrat Charlie Crist, a former Republican governor and Democratic congressman, by more than 29 percentage points in November.
It was quite a blowout in a state known for close elections, and other Republicans on the state ticket won by similar margins.
Ron was born in Jacksonville and has an impressive educational pedigree with degrees from Yale and Harvard Law, even captaining the former’s baseball team.
From Harvard, he enlisted in the Navy, where he was quickly assigned to his notorious legal faction, the Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG), and worked with detainees at Guantanamo Bay and as a law clerk for Navy SEALS in Iraq.

Ron left the service in 2010 and married Casey, who was then a local television news anchor called “one of the most recognizable faces on Jacksonville television,” a year after meeting her at a golf driving range in a white wedding at Disney World. orlando

Along with their three young children, they have been described as a family ‘primed for a political campaign leaflet’.
Experts say it’s Casey who shaped her husband’s fortune. She is, to those in the know, widely recognized as her closest adviser and confidante, a de facto member of her staff, and a driving force behind her success whose influence has been compared to Nancy Reagan’s on her husband.

Despite a public battle with cancer that went into remission in March, Casey has remained as active as ever, attending nearly all of her husband’s campaign events and even answering his emails.
Polished and eloquent, the would-be first lady has spearheaded various fundraising efforts for her husband, for causes ranging from cancer research to Hurricane Ian recovery efforts.
Their joint ambition and drive, combined with pundit rumors that 2024 will be their year, has no doubt riled the 44-year-old Florida governor’s old mentor-turned-friend Donald Trump, who is strongly hinting at another run.
Among his attacks on a man he recently dubbed “Ron DeSanctimonious,” the former president hinted that he would be quick to attack his friend-turned-enemy.
In an interview with DailyMail.com on Trump Force One on Monday night, Trump said: “I don’t know if DeSantis will run… But if he did run, he might tell you things about him that won’t be very flattering.” . I know more about him than maybe his wife. Even Trump went on to describe Casey as “the one who’s really running his (DeSantis) campaign.”
