Ron DeSantis makes it official: “I’m running for president”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (right) made it public on Wednesday, announcing his candidacy for President of the United States in a Twitter post as technical difficulties plagued Twitter Spaces’ original conversation with Elon Musk, where he was about to make the announcement first. .
The planned discussion came hours after the governor filed documents with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and months after ongoing speculation about the governor’s intentions in 2024. On Wednesday, DeSantis formally ended all the speculation in a Twitter post that was presumably to coincide with his verbal announcement during the Twitter Spaces chat. However, the announcement was delayed as the Twitter Spaces conversation experienced extreme technical difficulties, chopping and cutting before going completely silent, forcing them to start a new one.
