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.

So they were bugging Bush’s hotel rooms when he was a candidate? Deep state controlled media was going after Trump 24/7 for years?

Did they conduct an armed raid Bush’s private residence when he left office?

You’re FOS.

And unless you goofy only Trumpers want Nikki, Pence, or some other RINO as your fallback; then be glad DeSantis is a great viable Plan B.

Let's be clear: the only reason Rob DeSantos is getting into the race is to aid and abet the the Deep State in their goal to incarcerate President Trump, so that our Trojan Horse candidate can become Plan A.

>>Pres Trump will eat him alive.

Without a doubt - even if it costs us getting a (R) into the oval office again - Trump would rather burn down the party and let the democrats back in for another 4 years, rather then get his ego bruised. Thats the way Trump rolls, shoot first, lie about it and then blame someone else when it all goes to sh*t.

Be nice if Trump actually ran against Biden, instead of his own party - but guess that is asking too much from this emotional retard.

DeSantis is the bishop the Deep State is sacrificing to take out the MAGA King.

Many of us have held out because Trump is the only man who can do right by conservatives. The rest are just politicians. Some better than others, but all politicians. When Trump is no longer on scene, we can do no more saving the Country by voting. It will only lead us further into the deep. At that point, best bets going to be stay home or vote democrat and let it all go to hell. That’s the only other way this ship gets righted properly. So, go ahead and get DS on the top of the ticket. Prepare to lose in 24. Most of us who actually have brain cells to rub together are done with the games.

No it was response to what someone else had stated. I offered a reply. You didn’t have context.

My response then further remains unchanged as, name calling and labeling people in a cult wins your argument no favors especially with a fellow conservative.

One name tanks Ronnie. Karl Rove
Desantis will not win the nomination.

Hopefully he will do a good job tuning up the Don for the general.

Even when he’s standing in front of one of Trump’s standard closing remarks?
