This is a common move by Republicans who strongly consider entering the presidential race, since Iowa is the first state that voted in the GOP nomination process.<\/p>\n<p>According to NPD BookScan data, DeSantis&#8217; book sold more copies than 94,300 copies within its first week. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/desantis-memoir-outsells-books-from-clinton-trump-obama-in-fist-week-2023-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The sales of DeSantis&#8217; book outsold those of Hillary Clinton (the former Secretary-of-State) and of the previous two presidents.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s 2015 campaign book &#8220;Crippled America&#8221; In its first week, the book sold 27,687 copies. Clinton&#8217;s book also sold 27,687 copies. &#8220;Hard Choices&#8221; In its first week, the book sold 86.200 copies. Before his 2008 presidential campaign, then-Senator Obama released &#8220;The Audacity of Hope,&#8221; This book was sold 67.500 copies in its initial week of sales.<\/p>\n<p>The report further added that\u00a0The New York Times had DeSantis&#8217; book as its No. It was the No. 1 bestseller in print and ebook nonfiction. This is a remarkable distinction, especially considering that those numbers don&#8217;t include bulk sales. DeSantis&#8217; book also ranked No. Amazon&#8217;s #1 most-purchased book.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis is announcing the book&#8217;s success. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2023\/03\/09\/ron-desantis-2024-president-iowa-nevada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly<\/a> According to The Washington Post, he indicated to his closest friends that he plans to run for president.<\/p>\n<p>Ken Cuccinelli served as Acting Deputy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/department-of-homeland-security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Secretary of Homeland Security<\/a> Trump&#8217;s administration launched a PAC Thursday to urge DeSantis into the 2024 presidential race. The Post reported that the PAC &#8220;is likely to serve as an approved outside spending vehicle for his campaign,&#8221; Multiple people with experience in the planning process can give their opinions.<\/p>\n<p>Cuccinelli, a strong opponent to illegal immigration, was also Acting Director for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, (USCIS).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been speaking to many grassroots conservative activists around the country who are very enthusiastic for Governor DeSantis to run for President in 2024,&#8221; In a statement, Cuccinelli stated that he launched his Never Back Down PAC. \u00a0&#8220;The energy is there, grassroots conservatives see the Governor as a leader and a fighter with a winning conservative track record who will lead the Republican Party to victory in 2024. Based on those conversations, I am most confident that we will build an unmatched grassroots political army for Governor DeSantis to help carry him to the White House.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Governor DeSantis has a proven record defending freedom, defending parental rights, defending the unborn, defending our children,&#8221; said Cuccinelli, adding, &#8220;America&#8217;s future is Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis doesn&#8217;t just talk; he acts, but most of all he never backs down. Governor DeSantis, today I&#8217;m asking you to run for President. You&#8217;ve had our back now we will have yours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today, I launch Never Back Down PAC <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NvrBackDown24?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Nvrbackdown24<\/a> To encourage <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GovRonDeSantis<\/a> Run for President in 2024\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8<\/p>\n<p>This is a real energy.
