Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is set to launch his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-has-never-talked-about-2024-campaign-plans-with-biden\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris Has 'Never Talked About' 2024 Campaign Plans with Biden\">2024 presidential campaign<\/a> on May 24th in a Twitter Spaces interview with none other than Elon Musk. The Epoch Times has confirmed the news, putting an end to months of speculation about DeSantis&#8217; formal entry into the race.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis is jumping into an expanding GOP field that is currently dominated by former President Donald Trump. Bryan Griffin, the press secretary for the DeSantis campaign operation, confirmed the plans in a text message to The Epoch Times. Fox News was the first to report the story, and Elon Musk even retweeted a message from a Fox News reporter breaking the news.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Trump vs. DeSantis<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Trump, the frontrunner in the GOP field, has spent weeks attacking DeSantis in Truth Social posts and ads on national television. The ads attack DeSantis for supporting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/shapiro-debunking-the-myth-of-a-scandinavian-socialist-paradise\/\" title=\"SHAPIRO: Debunking The Myth Of A Scandinavian Socialist Paradise\">national sales tax<\/a> while in Congress, among other issues. DeSantis has largely refrained from attacking Trump.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the attacks, DeSantis is forging ahead with his campaign announcement. The event will take place at 6 p.m. on Wednesday on Twitter Spaces. The Spaces feature allows for a large group of people to participate in a voice conversation. The feature\u2019s current iteration does not allow for video.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Major Candidates<\/h3>\n<p>In an average of polls maintained by RealClearPolitics, Trump held the lead on May 23 with 56.3 points. DeSantis trailed in a distant second with 19.4 points. Other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-pennsylvania-certified-results-for-president-are-found-in-error-the-error-is-twice-the-size-of-the-difference-between-candidates\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Pennsylvania Certified Results for President Are Found in Error \u2013 The Error Is Twice the Size of the Difference Between Candidates\">major candidates<\/a> include entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and conservative talk show host Larry Elder.<\/p>\n<p>The DeSantis announcement comes days on the heels of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ohio-gop-senate-hopeful-raises-1m-in-first-30-days\/\" title=\"Ohio GOP Senate hopeful raises M+ in first 30 days\">official campaign launch<\/a> by Scott. Trump, who has refrained from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/latest-realclearpolitics-forecast-predicts-republicans-will-control-54-senate-seats\/\" title=\"Latest RealClearPolitics Forecast Predicts Republicans Will Control 54 Senate Seats\">attacking candidates<\/a> other than DeSantis, wished Scott \u201cgood luck\u201d in a message on Truth Social. The message suggested that Trump views the growing field as a net negative for DeSantis.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt is rapidly loading up with lots of people, and Tim is a big step up from Ron DeSanctimonious, who is totally unelectable. I got Opportunity Zones done with Tim, a big deal that has been highly successful,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With the race heating up, it will be interesting to see how DeSantis fares against Trump and the other major candidates. Stay tuned for more updates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
