DeSantis set to make much-anticipated presidential campaign announcement, formalising Trump rivalry
The HinduFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis, an outspoken cultural conservative long seen as former President Donald Trump’s leading rival for the Republican nomination, is set to launch his 2024 U.S. presidential campaign on Wednesday. Mr. Musk, speaking at The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit event in London on Tuesday, seemed to confirm the Wednesday event, saying Mr. DeSantis would be making “quite an announcement” on Twitter. The news of Mr. DeSantis’ impending announcement came as Mr. Trump was making a video appearance in a New York courtroom as part of his criminal case. The only thing less relatable than a niche campaign launch on Twitter, is DeSantis’ after party at the uber elite Four Seasons resort in Miami,” said Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump’s super PAC.
