DeSantis filed the necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/docquery.fec.gov\/cgi-bin\/forms\/C00841130\/1705819\">paperwork<\/a> with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Wednesday afternoon ahead of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ron-desantis-officially-enters-2024-presidential-race\/\" title=\"Ron DeSantis joins 2024 Presidential Race.\">highly-anticipated special live-streamed event<\/a> on Twitter with the platform\u2019s owner, Elon Musk.<\/p>\n<p>With his entrance into the race, many political pundits and analysts now view the Republican Party primary as a two-horse race between DeSantis and former President Donald Trump \u2014 both of whom are polling significantly higher than the rest of the field.<\/p>\n<h3>Who is Ron DeSantis?<\/h3>\n<p>The 44-year-old governor was born in Jacksonville, but was raised on the other side of the state in Dunedin. DeSantis excelled in academics and athletics growing up, eventually playing baseball at Yale and later obtaining his law degree with honors from Harvard Law School. After law school, DeSantis joined the U.S. Navy as a JAG officer and was deployed to Iraq as an adviser to U.S. Navy SEALs in Fallujah and Ramadi.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019 campaign is expected to be largely centered around the enormous achievements that he has secured as governor for the state of Florida, dubbed the \u201cFlorida Blueprint,\u201d and on how he can transfer those successes to the national level as President of the United States.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis\u2019 Achievements as Governor<\/h3>\n<p>The governor\u2019s rise to the top of the Republican Party was cemented by his handling of the COVID pandemic, which included bucking Dr. Anthony Fauci and resisting draconian measures that impeded the freedoms of people in his state. As a result, the state led the country in net-in migration over the last couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the governor\u2019s overwhelming popularity in the state, the state\u2019s legislature largely does what he says in implementing his agenda.
