DeSantis set to announce US presidential bid on Twitter with Musk

Al Jazeera  

Florida governor seen as the biggest threat to current frontrunner Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. Ron DeSantis is to announce his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination in a livestreamed Twitter chat with the platform’s billionaire owner Elon Musk, touting his ultraconservative record as governor of Florida as a blueprint for the United States. His rising profile among Republicans and fundraising prowess are likely to make him the biggest threat to former President Donald Trump’s bid to become the Republican nominee for the White House again. The two men were close allies during Trump’s four years in the White House – Trump endorsed him during his first campaign for governor – but DeSantis has since forged his own political identity. Long viewed as the most viable challenger to twice-impeached Trump, DeSantis is better known than most of the hopefuls in the race for the Republican nomination – but still lacks the frontrunner’s national profile.
