According to two sources familiar with the decision, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis will officially enter the 2024 U.S. presidential race next week, immediately becoming Donald Trump&#8217;s biggest rival for the Republican nomination and shaking up a contest that largely has been one-sided.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis to File Paperwork Next Week<\/h3>\n<p>DeSantis will likely file paperwork declaring his candidacy on May 25 to coincide with a donor meeting in Miami, with a more formal launch the week of May 29, according to a source. The invitation for the May 25 event stated that donors would be put to &#8220;work,&#8221; an apparent allusion to raising money for DeSantis, according to a source familiar with the event. Representatives for DeSantis did not immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump Maintains Lead in Republican Primary<\/h3>\n<p>Former U.S. President Trump has in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-to-launch-2024-presidential-bid-in-matter-of-days\/\" title=\"DeSantis to announce 2024 presidential bid soon.\">recent weeks stepped<\/a> up his political attacks on the Florida governor and maintains a commanding lead in the 2024 Republican primary, according to a recent Reuters\/Ipsos poll. DeSantis\u2019 insistence on staying out of the race until the Florida legislature completed its spring session earlier this month rattled some high-profile Republican donors who had wanted him to jump in sooner rather than later to rebut Trump.<\/p>\n<h3>Conservative Victories for DeSantis<\/h3>\n<p>Republican lawmakers gave DeSantis a bevy of conservative victories in recent months, including expanding the state\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hypocrisy-top-dems-including-biden-pelosi-oppose-school-choice-but-send-their-kids-to-private-school\/\" title=\"Hypocrisy: Top Dems Including Biden, Pelosi Oppose School Choice but Send Their Kids to Private School\">school voucher program<\/a>, prohibiting the use of public money in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-signs-sweeping-anti-esg-legislation-in-florida\/\" title=\"DeSantis approves broad anti-ESG law in Florida.\">sustainable investing efforts<\/a>, scrapping diversity programs at public universities, allowing for the permitless carry of concealed weapons, and perhaps most notably, banning almost all abortions in the state.<\/p>\n<h3>New Political Action Committee Supporting DeSantis<\/h3>\n<p>DeSantis has had help in readying the ground for his candidacy. A new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/philly-da-enjoyed-european-excursion-as-homicides-spiked\/\" title=\"Philly DA Enjoyed European Excursion as Homicides Spiked\">political action committee supporting<\/a> him, Never Back Down, which can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aggressive-homeless-man-arrested-accused-of-assaulting-ca-governor-before-pizza-photo-op\/\" title=\"\u2018Aggressive\u2019 Homeless Man Arrested, Accused Of Assaulting CA Governor Before Pizza Photo Op\">raise unlimited funds<\/a>, has been hiring staff in early voting states and running TV ads championing DeSantis and knocking Trump.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis, 44, was re-elected as governor just last year, trouncing his Democratic opponent by nearly 20 percentage points.
