FIRST ON FOX: Republican Florida Governor, and soon to be presidential candidate, Ron DeSantis released a video Tuesday teasing his expected 2024 campaign announcement.
The 30-second video, which DeSantis' wife Casey posted on Twitter, shows the governor standing in front of a large American flag in what appears to be a backstage setting with loud applause heard in the distance.
"They call it faith because in the face of darkness you can see that brighter future. A faith that our best days lay ahead of us. But is it worth the fight? Do I have the courage? Is it worth the sacrifice? America has been worth it every single time," the ad says as DeSantis appears readying himself to take the stage.

Everything about this guy just screams: managed, manicured phony.
1. We don't need another Ivy League lawyer in Washington.
2. We don't need another career politician who has never worked outside government in the White House.
3. In relative terms, DeSantis is flat broke. He will do whatever his political handlers and financial backers tell him to do. We don't need a managed, manicured tool in the White House.
4. RDS takes days or weeks to say things that Donald Trump says on the spur of the moment because he believes it so firmly that it comes naturally to him. We don't need another hapless, poll-testing phony in the White House.
5. Donald Trump has all the right enemies.
6. Ron DeSantis has all the wrong friends.
7. I won't support any presidential candidate whose home hasn't been raided by the Democrat Gestapo, and who hasn't been prosecuted by a Democrat sh!t-bag prosecutor in a Democrat sh!t-hole jurisdiction.
THE END.
Fox has lost 50% viewership in primetime since Tucker left, I wouldn’t worry to much about Fox backing DeSantis the more they back DeSantis the more viewers they lose!!
“The NAACP warning to blacks to stay out of Florida is a warmup attack by the crazy Left for what will be a never-ending stream of slander that is about to descend on Santos as he enters the race.”
*****************************************************
I’m surprised Trump hasn’t run an ad using the NAACP advisory to slam DeSantis. Lockdown Don seems to like those leftwing talking points a lot.
DeSantis CAN NOT win the general, far to many people will not go to the polls without Trump on the ticket!! MANY, MANY people who do not normally vote go to the polls for Trump WILL NOT GO for DeSantis!! MANY MAGA will NOT hold their nose again for a RINO and make no mistake about it DeSantis is a RINO, he has surrounded himself with them, he has taken ALL of their money, he is OWNED by them!! I AM DONE with the uniparty, I AM DONE being a battered wife by them!! DECADES of their lies and BS, seeing political prisoners in this country and watching them DO NOTHING to what is being done to Trump, DO NOTHING to Louis Lerner and on and on NO THANKS!!!! FED UP with the dog and pony shows, the strongly worded letters……..SPIT!!

Don’t forget land whale Abrams, who is at the Bilderberg meeting currently
You are so right!
The real question is what sort of Republican voters like the mud that Trump slings? Apparently there are quite a few who do.
You think mud-slinging is the most important basis on which to judge a candidate? Mud-slinging is only a tactic. Those of us who support Trump do so because of his policies, his effectiveness, and the fact that he’s not owned. We like his mud-slinging only to the extent that it achieves a purpose and demonstrates his willingness to do what’s necessary to succeed.
For all those here on Free Republic who have been lamenting Trump’s attacks on DeSantis these past few months, because they claim it will only serve to split the Republican party, what are your thoughts now, on the eve of DeSantis’s announcement?
Are we going to hear from you how divisive it is for DeSantis to be challenging Trump, a man whose anti-globalist, MAGA world view he claims to share? When this contest becomes increasingly nasty, will you ask DeSantis why he felt it necessary to enter a race that already had a MAGA candidate, rather than endorsing that candidate?
“... ! MANY, MANY people who do not normally vote go to the polls for Trump ...”
Heard that claim both in 2016 & 2020 but I never saw any credible statistics that actually happened. I would like to believe this is true but I remain skeptical.
BTTT!!!
Trump’s covid vaccine policies were disastrous, and he is still on record proclaiming their great success.
Trump also backs the Disney corporate policy supporting sexually grooming young children in schools against DeSantis successful efforts to stop those activities in Florida.
I believe that current-day Trump supporters are much like Liberals who decide things based on their emotions, not reason.
So you chose not to respond to the points I made, but to change the subject instead. That’s fine. Let’s address the new subject matter.
“Trump also backs the Disney corporate policy supporting sexually grooming young children in schools against DeSantis successful efforts to stop those activities in Florida.”
This is simply a lie. Trump never criticized the original legislation that had prompted Disney’s criticism. He DID criticize DeSantis’s response to Disney’s comments, as short sided and doomed to failure - in particular, his fight with Disney over the control of the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
“Trump’s covid vaccine policies were disastrous, and he is still on record proclaiming their great success.”
Trump’s policy was to develop a vaccine as an option to those who chose to use it. He never supported mandates, and has been skeptical of childhood vaccination for years, going back to the 2016 primary and earlier.
As with virtually all vaccines and medications, there are some who had adverse reactions to the COVID vaccines - even death in some instances. But the vaccines also lowered the COVID mortality rate for those who took them - saving lives.
Then you really didn’t look, did you.
Ok, I’ve watched it three times now and can’t stop laughing.
Thanks for the boost after a rough day.
This video screams all of the above.
Please, stop with this silly nonsense.
Every Covid policy during Trump's first term was set by a state governor---- including the seven Republican governors who kept their states open and ignored Fauci; and including Gov. DeSantis who followed Fauci as one follows Holy Scripture.
Ronny locked down his state, closed his schools and businesses, implemented mandatory quarantines for travelers from states with high infection rates --- using the police to enforce this order. Ronny followed every Fauci edict on masks, social distancing, testing, vaccines (assuring Floridians if they were vaccinated they would not get Covid) into 2022.
When Ronny reopened his state, he proudly did so in total compliance with Fauci's rules, going so far as telling the police to close businesses not in compliance
And it's all on tape.
Unlike Trump, DeSantis has been fighting and winning at advancing conservatism.
Trump fights for Disney, Bud Light, Big Pharma, and gay parties at Mar-A-Lago when he's not blaming conservatives for losing in the midterms.
