This follows months of speculation over whether he would enter the race and challenge former President Donald Trump, his ally-turned-rival, for the Republican nomination.<\/p>\n<p>According to the latest RealClearPolitics average, Trump holds a significant lead in the Republican primary field, carrying 56 percent of the vote\u2014a 37-point advantage over DeSantis, who has consistently polled in second place. The Florida governor will look to reverse a downward trend in support he has seen since late March.<\/p>\n<div class=\"morearticles\">\n\t\t<strong>Read More<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"post_list\">\n<div class=\"article\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/desantis-2024-launch-on-twitter-rocked-by-tech-issues_5289945.html\">DeSantis 2024 Launch on Twitter Rocked by Tech Issues<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
