Republican Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis may announce President candidacy on Twitter, claim reports

Republican Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is gearing up to officially enter the 2024 White House race. Governor DeSantis is likely to declare his candidacy for president on Wednesday through a conversation with Elon Musk on Twitter, according to reports.

Alongside this announcement, DeSantis is expected to submit the necessary paperwork to the Federal Election Commission, formally launching his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination, as per reports.

Despite remaining on the sidelines for the 2024 race thus far, DeSantis has consistently ranked among the top contenders for the Republican nomination, trailing behind former President Donald Trump but ahead of other potential candidates in various GOP primary polls. Notably, DeSantis' candidacy announcement aligns with his ongoing meetings in Miami this week with influential financial supporters.


With the entrance of Ron DeSantis, the two-term governor of Florida, the competition for the Republican nomination has seemingly transformed into a head-to-head contest between DeSantis and Trump which may have a link to Twitter Boss's scepticism over Trump claiming the White House again.

Who is Ron DeSantis?

Ron DeSantis is 44 years old. He secured his first gubernatorial victory in 2018 with substantial support from the former president. However, he has since developed his influential political persona, expanding his appeal from one coast to another.

Over the past three years, DeSantis has witnessed a surge in popularity among conservatives nationwide. This can be attributed to his assertive opposition to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and his vigorous efforts as a cultural advocate, challenging the media, corporations, and school unions. His unwavering stance has solidified his position as a prominent figure within conservative circles.

Trump-DeSantis story

Ron DeSantis initially faced limited recognition and lacked favoritism for the Republican nomination in his bid for the governorship. However, his fortunes changed dramatically when he secured a crucial endorsement from then-President Trump, garnering praise for Trump during his campaign and featuring him in television advertisements. Despite a closely contested race, DeSantis emerged as the winner by a narrow margin.

In the aftermath, Trump has asserted responsibility for DeSantis' electoral success while condemning his fellow Republican for contemplating a challenge to his presidential nomination, accusing him of disloyalty.
