Right now, "Ron DeSantis" is trending on Twitter, with at least 108K online users posting. This comes after months of speculation about the Florida governor making a run for the White House in 2024. DeSantis has been widely deemed as the most formidable competitor against former President Trump, who is also running for the Oval Office. In recent months, Trump has taken it upon himself to lob one unprovoked attack after the next against DeSantis. He's even made repeated pleas for DeSantis not to enter the 2024 presidential race, despite showing a more welcoming disposition to other Republicans who've entered, such as Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Tim Scott. Some DeSantis supporters theorize that Trump ultimately views DeSantis as a threat and not Haley, Ramaswamy, or Scott, hence the contrast in his attitudes towards them. Nonetheless, DeSantis isn't backing down. According to multiple reports, the Florida governor will formally enter the 2024 presidential election tomorrow, May 24, 2023.

What to know about DeSantis' upcoming announcement

The Florida governor will declare his candidacy for the White House during a Twitter Spaces interview with new platform owner Elon Musk. During this time, DeSantis will also take a series of questions pertaining to his policies, candidacy, and what he can offer America as president. https://twitter.com/FLVoiceNews/status/1661134927801319431 On social media, many pro-DeSantis PACs and other supporters remain very much excited about Wednesday's announcement. Those in favor of the Florida governor making a presidential run also feel that he's the best hope the nation has of getting back on track. As of May 23, the RonDeSantis.com website merely reflects an alligator in the water, seemingly symbolizing new things to come. This imagery is likewise present on the social media accounts of Ron and Casey DeSantis, along with the DeSantis War Room.

Team Trump in shambles?

Amid news of DeSantis announcing his run for the White House, the Trump camp appears in a state of disarray, to say the least. After the news broke, Trump posted on Truth Social a link from the Gateway Pundit that pushes for DeSantis to "PLEASE" sit out the 2024 presidential election. https://twitter.com/MaxNordau/status/1661087280084205579 Many DeSantis supporters who also soured on Trump have some thoughts about this. The prevailing view within this camp is that Trump not only fears DeSantis, but also envies him. Once DeSantis formally enters the 2024 presidential election, Americans can look forward to him directly taking on Trump in order to secure the 2024 GOP nomination.
