Ron DeSantis Takes the Political Stage: A Clash of Titans in the 2024 Presidential Race
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is making waves in the political arena as he prepares to formally enter the 2024 presidential race. Sources familiar with his plans have indicated that DeSantis, a Republican, will file the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission and is expected to announce his candidacy online next week, with a donor meeting scheduled in Miami.
The anticipation surrounding DeSantis’ entrance into the race is building, as his official kickoff event is tentatively planned to take place in Dunedin, his hometown, during the week of Memorial Day. Among the potential venues under consideration is a Little League baseball field, a symbolic choice that pays homage to DeSantis’ own childhood when he played for the Dunedin Little League team and even made a trip to the prestigious Little League World Series.
DeSantis has been positioning himself as a younger, more vibrant alternative to former President Donald Trump, whom he once supported. However, Trump wasted no time in launching attacks against DeSantis, accusing him of disloyalty for even considering running against him. The 76-year-old Trump, currently leading in the polls, has gone so far as to dub DeSantis “Ron DeSanctimonious” and emphasize their previous alliance.
Despite the fierce competition from Trump, DeSantis remains confident in his ability to secure the Republican nomination and ultimately win the presidency. He has been highlighting his accomplishments as governor, particularly his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and emphasizing his conservative values. DeSantis has gained popularity among Republican voters for his proactive approach and refusal to be swayed by polls.
While Trump’s presidency was characterized by his ability to exert power and his firm stance on international relations, DeSantis is seen as a competent and popular leader who focuses on addressing the right issues. Many believe that DeSantis stands a strong chance of winning the presidency in 2024. However, concerns have been raised about his lack of experience in dealing with world leaders and navigating complex international affairs.
To bolster his campaign, DeSantis has been diligently ramping up his operation in recent weeks. His team has been hiring staffers and establishing an office space in Tallahassee, the capital of Florida. The governor has been actively engaging with donors and supporters, even directly addressing Trump in a call where he emphasized his electability and the urgent need for a positive alternative to President Joe Biden.
While DeSantis may currently trail behind Trump in the polls, his supporters remain optimistic about his chances. A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll indicated that although Trump enjoys higher levels of support among Republicans and GOP-leaning independents, a majority of voters expressed satisfaction with either Trump or DeSantis as the potential presidential nominee.
As DeSantis prepares to officially enter the race, the Republican Party will soon face a critical choice between two prominent figures. DeSantis hopes to present himself as a viable option, aiming to highlight his strengths and appeal to voters who seek a new direction. On the other hand, Trump is determined to maintain his frontrunner status and consolidate his support base to secure the nomination. The coming months will be pivotal in determining the ultimate nominee and setting the stage for the highly anticipated 2024 presidential election.

PR puff piece, no heart.
No “heart”? Daniel won’t be happy about that. It’s news, idiot.
Joe, the protector of those unwilling to stand up for themselves, like sheep and little kids.
You needed to add idiot? Really?
If you feel that you have to sink to your low birth level of ignominious parentage, you need to man-up your name calling, you sanctimonious sack of sleazy shit, pencil-necked, pygmy-prick.
Your fascination with alcohol reveals your personal obsession, perhaps addiction, but one thing is certain; you are a mean drunk.
There was no news here; it’s a rehashed PR puff piece. IMO.
Frank, I can’t stop you from drinking, but stay away from the tequila, it makes you mean.
Good one Joe. Very third grade of you.
Are you still picking on your boogers by sticking your fingers up your ass.
Where are we taking this: second grade?
Ron the DON DeSantis may get taken out of the race by his own policies he has imposed on Florida. We are all going to get an education on extreme right wing policies and how they fail. Next one up starts July 1, when everyone has to use E-Verify for employment, for an economy that is heavily dependent on undocumented workers. Florida is going to became a Fascist State, all on it’s own, all because of DeSantis. The whole country will get a front row seat on how not to run an economy.
This news is about a week late. We knew most of this from any news channel on TV. About the only thing new that I learned from this article was the town DeSantis played little league baseball in. The rest was pretty much rehash. DeSantis is positioning himself as the Trump alternative. If you liked Trump policies but did not like his personality (like Larry Horist), you have DeSantis, the Trump without the baggage.
DeSantis has said it: he wants to make American in Florida’s image.
Same culture war affects
Same abortion bans
Same attacks on LGBTQ
Same attacks on immigrants
Same attacks on Asians
Same business wars
and more……
He’s lost $1B on Disney investment. Immigrants are moving elsewhere, only the Chinese farm owners have not complained. He owns the 4th most expensive healthcare in the nation with really bad covid results, especially for seniors. Most of his actions have been political stunts for FOX coverage, but not actionable. Where’s the voter fraud? Why bus asylum seekers from TX to MA?
This is the DeSantimonious story: https://www.express.co.uk/news/us/1765872/florida-woman-denied-abortion-dxus And there’s many flavors of this in Florida.
That’s all folks! That’s all I need to know.
Ron does not focus on the right issues or the issues the voters at large care about. His actions have almost certainly eliminated him from consideration on the national stage. He appeared weak when he was unable to take criticism of his don’t say gay law, and his continuing fight against Disney shows him to every bit as childish as trump. Then there are his big government decisions since he was re-elected governor-most of us do not want government control over every aspect of our lives, which is exactly what he is doing in florida. He has turned into quite the disaster in his quest for higher office…
