How does extradition take place between states? [View all]

For example Let’s say New York wants Florida to extradite an ex president and his crime riddled family to face multiple state level felony counts.

This ex president decides to fight the extradition.

How does that process play out?

If theoretically Florida has a corrupt governor that wants to protect the ex president, dies that effect anything? Or is it strictly the courts that decide?
