Ron DeSantis<\/h2>\n<p>Bryan Griffin, former press secretary for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has resigned from his position to pursue other avenues of helping to deliver the governor\u2019s success to our country. Griffin released his two-page resignation letter in a May 15 tweet, which has sparked speculation that DeSantis\u2019 long-awaited presidential campaign announcement is on the horizon.<\/p>\n<h3>Griffin\u2019s Resignation Letter Hints at DeSantis\u2019 Presidential Run<\/h3>\n<p>Many Twitter users have commented that Griffin\u2019s departure appears to signal that DeSantis\u2019 presidential campaign announcement is imminent, and that Griffin will most likely play a role in DeSantis\u2019s political organization. The final sentences of Griffin\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-spokesmans-resignation-telegraphs-2024-presidential-race-announcement\/\" title=\"DeSantis spokesperson resigns, hints at 2024 presidential bid.\">resignation letter strongly suggest<\/a> that a presidential run is on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that Governor DeSantis is the only leader who can see us to victory at this critical moment in American history,\u201d Griffin declared. The nation faces \u201chistoric challenges,\u201d Griffin wrote, including \u201ca national demoralization and abandonment of our shared values and purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis\u2019 Political Operations<\/h3>\n<p>Griffin has pledged to help DeSantis overcome these challenges, adding, \u201cAmerica is worth the fight \u2026 If I can be even a small part of the revival and restoration of our great nation, then I am prepared to give it my all.\u201d Griffin will now serve as press secretary for DeSantis\u2019s \u201cpolitical operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Working as DeSantis\u2019 press secretary was \u201cthe honor of a lifetime,\u201d Griffin added. Christina Pushaw, who formerly held that position, resigned last August to assist DeSantis\u2019s political operation.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis\u2019 Presidential Run<\/h3>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019 anticipated entry into the 2024 presidential race had been complicated by the state\u2019s \u201cresign-to-run\u201d law. But a recent change has cleared the path for DeSantis to seek federal office without resigning from his governorship.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, DeSantis is on a speaking tour to promote his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-was-general-mark-milley-arrested-for-treason\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Was General Mark Milley Arrested For Treason?\">recently released book<\/a>, \u201cThe Courage to Be Free: Florida\u2019s Blueprint for America\u2019s Revival.\u201d Critics have denounced the book tour as a \u201cshadow campaign\u201d for a presidential run.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis: Presumed Challenger to Trump<\/h3>\n<p>While still undeclared as a presidential contender, DeSantis is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-trump-leads-2024-republican-primary-by-58-points\/\" title=\"Poll: Trump leads 2024 Republican Primary by 58 Points\">closest potential challenger<\/a> against the current frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination. Former President Donald Trump, the two-time defending GOP nominee, is far ahead of DeSantis in political polls; all other potential or declared challengers have been polling in the single digits.<\/p>\n<p>Because Trump endorsed DeSantis\u2019 first gubernatorial run in 2018, Trump has repeatedly stated that he would consider it \u201cdisloyal\u201d for DeSantis to run against him.<\/p>\n<h3>Griffin Praises DeSantis\u2019 Accomplishments<\/h3>\n<p>Griffin praised DeSantis for setting the stage to ensure that \u201cFlorida will be a safe, prosperous, exceptional, and successful place for our children and posterity to live for generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether, we have irrevocably enshrined freedom and truth into Florida\u2019s institutions and law,\u201d Griffin wrote. He called DeSantis and his wife, Casey, \u201cprincipled leaders and courageous fighters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have seen Governor DeSantis presented with many choices over my tenure, and I can confidently say he consistently chose to do what was right,\u201d Griffin wrote. DeSantis is a \u201ctrue conservative\u201d and has surrounded himself with people who share those values, Griffin said.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis\u2019 Accomplishments Touted<\/h3>\n<p>Griffin said DeSantis\u2019s list of accomplishments is long, and gave<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bryan Griffin, press secretary for Florida Gov.
