After months of buildup and speculation, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is officially entering the 2024 White House.
Sources familiar confirmed to Fox News that the popular, conservative two-term governor will declare that he's candidate for president, on Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET during a conversation with Elon Musk on Twitter.

wow, it feels like he just got re-elected governor a few months ago and he’s already dissatisfied with the job?
This is a fracture the GOP move. Get people angry at each other and say Trump is blunted by the DeSantis crowd.

You are 100% correct. The supporters he has have asked DeSantis to split the support in exchange for promises to support him in 2028. Which promises will dissipate like fog when 2028 comes.
Yep, exactly
Yes! Des-natis entering the race gives two targets of hatred and vitriol for lefty democrat media.
Now Trump can divide and conquer!
RE: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is expected to enter the 2024 presidential race this week, has been trying to bribe high-ranking military officers with promises of promotions in exchange for presidential endorsements, sources in Gen. Smith’s office and at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago headquarters told Real Raw News.
IF TRUE, isn’t that ILLEGAL?
RINO candidate.
Governor Ron is being coached by former Florida governor Jeb Bush.
Desantis picked ‘low hanging fruit’ left wing radical issues as his targets to appear conservative and boost his credentials with voters, but he’ll deliver us back into the hands of the RINOs. His candidacy is a trick by establishment republicans to get their power back.
I used to like Desantis, but now I’ve lost faith in what he’s attempting to achieve.
If he was truly MAGA, he’d support Trump for 2024 and deliver Florida for MAGA. The only reason he would run now would be to derail Trump’s campaign.
TRUMP 2024, for sure.
Who is advising Ron?
He went from “yeah, Ron seems really good” to “Ron may be a snake RINO”. He came on so strong, great ideas and policies. I guess they’re still there - are they?
In any case, he’s gotten very cagey and a bit slimy and sleazy over the last few months.
Is Karl Rove near him?
Same implosion as Ted Cruz did when he hooked up with Beck, trying to look moderate to appease the middle.
(I know Limbaugh’s Awful Replacements love Ron to bits, and they’re in Florida a lot. They think they speak for Right Wing America because they got a gift they never will deserve).
That isn’t going to work. No difference between moderate middle and democrats.
Anyway, I am no longer remotely enthusiastic about Ron. He better smarten up and get back to the base.
Lets see RINOs (Jeb Bush, Ken Giffin, etc) supporting DeSantis and now Elon who gets his loans from the CCP. Interesting!!!!

If he runs on that platform he's dumber than I thought.
Try demonrat underground. I think it would be a better fit for you.

There was a difference..
Wouldn't Tik Tok be more appropriate?
Oh well.
Tik Tok, twittering twats, Fox/Murdoch/Dominion, what's the difference?
“isn’t that ILLEGAL?”
If promising people jobs (or promotions) in an upcoming administration (if you win) in exchange for their endorsement were illegal, we would have to lock up every single politician.
I could live with that.
Even stranger, is how many of the vocal desantis supporters have started to say stuff like "I'm a Trump supporter, but I don't know about desantis running", "I'm not sold on desantis, but", expressing uncertainty about desanti running now.
It's possible that many of the desantis supporters have just been nevertrumpers, and now that desantis is failing, need to rebrand themselves, so they can support another candidate to take out Trump.

BTW, I'm not a "never Trumper", I just prefer DeSantis so far, as he is much more likely to win the general (and I hate all the cringing at so much of what Mister Trump chooses to post or say).
If Trump wins the nom, I'll vote for him.
I'm curious, will you say the same about DeSantis if he gets the nod?
DeSantis is a strategic idiot. He could have backed Trump, remained Gov for 4 more years and then become the heir-apparent after Trump leaves office. This way, he’ll lose fair and square, and will always be looked at as a loser that chased his own political aspirations at the expense of his constituents in Florida.
