WASHINGTON, May 17 (Reuters) - Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis will officially enter the 2024 U.S. presidential race next week, according to two sources familiar with the decision, immediately becoming Donald Trump's biggest rival for the Republican nomination and shaking up a contest that largely has been one-sided.

DeSantis will likely file paperwork declaring his candidacy on May 25 to coincide with a donor meeting in Miami, with a more formal launch the week of May 29, according to a source.

The invitation for the May 25 event stated that donors would be put to “work,” an apparent allusion to raising money for DeSantis, according to a source familiar with the event.

Your post makes no sense. Donald Trump is running away in the endorsement race for the 2024 GOP primary. Republican Party leaders are lining up behind The Donald, yet here you are acting like it's the opposite of that.

There is no plan B. There is one plan and Ron DeSantis has no part to play in it. Donald J Trump is starring in this movie.

Sorry Navymom, Trump is treated by some of his supporters as a god who can do no wrong. They are not open to discussion or reason.

BS, DeSantis never said a word about deep state, lying media, rigged elections, criminal corruption by those in government, et al...So why would they go after DeSantis like they have Trump for 7+ years?

"So why would they go after DeSantis like they have Trump for 7+ years?"

100% they will if he's the GOP nominee, and will continue as such if he's the president. George W. Bush was "literally Hitler" as president, now they're fine with him. Donald Trump is not unique, the second the Republican Party has a new person at the top of its presidential ticket, he/she will be the new monster, guaranteed.

And if Trump somehow is taken out of the race?

Fools would say that about Mittens. Fools said that about McCain. But guess what? They held their nose and voted for tbe Repub anyway. You’ll do the same.

----

I asked you before, why desantis, who deliberately lies, jerks people around, and is deceitful, should be, president, and you refused to answer, and began pushing desantis as an alternate, without a reason why.

Now, you say again, if the swamp gets rid of Trump, desantis should be the alternative.

Strangely, you tried to use the arguement previously, Trump would bring back the swamp if elected on electing Trump.

Why do you want to return to a Swamp Administration again?

So the swamp is bad with Trump, but it's okay with the swamp supporting and electing desantis.... hypocrit.

But then again, the desantis supporters here are full of contradictions and mis-representations.... just like desantis is

If he’s smart, he will join the Trump ticket as VP.

Then he would be guaranteed an eight year run.

After 4 as VP.

I hope he wises up, it’s not his time yet

Oh, I don’t think so

Maybe a couple, but most are very smart.

Most of us will discuss anything...within reason.

Is Al Stewart running? Is he your guy?

Tell me slick, how many times did they conduct fishing investigations on Bush and how many times did they impeach and attempt to impeach Bush?

Donald Trump is not unique

Trump is the most unique and historic president in modern American history. You'd have to dial back to the founders to see this kind of relationship between a leader and the people.

You have no clue. Zip.

What are you yammering on about? There were articles of impeachment filed against Bush multiple times, but I could have sworn I was talking about leftists in general and the mainstream press, not the U.S. Congress.
