However, Peter Schorsch, the publisher of Florida Politics, said that DeSantis is not on Ozempic but has cut out carbs. <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis is a leading contender for the Republican nomination for president in 2024, however he has not yet announced his candidacy. It is expected that he will declare his run for presidency in late May or early June, after the state&#8217;s legislative session has concluded. <\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump and DeSantis are front-runners for the GOP nomination in 2024. Trump appears to have taken a lead over DeSantis in recent polls, but both still remain far ahead of the rest of the field.<\/p>\n<p>Florida Congress members have largely refrained from taking sides between Trump and DeSantis, who both call Florida home. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
