In a video posted to Twitter on May 24, DeSantis declared, \u201cI\u2019m Ron DeSantis. And I\u2019m running for president to lead our great American comeback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis, a Navy veteran, highlighted the issues facing America today, including a disastrous border, rampant crime, and a floundering federal government. But he also emphasized that success is attainable and freedom is worth fighting for.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis decisively won his gubernatorial reelection in Florida last year and is considered the most potent challenger to former President Donald Trump in the expanding GOP primary field. Other Republican contenders include former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, business mogul Vivek Ramaswamy, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina. Former Vice President Mike Pence is also considering a run.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis\u2019s Unique Announcement<\/h3>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019s announcement format was novel and representative of his peculiar relationship with the media. He posted the video minutes ahead of his Twitter Spaces conversation with Elon Musk, one of the world\u2019s richest men. The governor has largely walled off establishment outlets in favor of Fox News, while Musk has positioned Twitter as the alternative to the establishment news media.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5023789\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/01\/31\/Trump-DeSantis-1200x675.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t(Left) Former President Donald Trump addresses the crowd during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-officially-hits-2024-campaign-trail\/\" title=\"Trump Officially Hits 2024 Campaign Trail\">2024 election campaign event<\/a> in Columbia, S.C., on Jan. 28, 2023.

While he took longer than most governors to shut the state down\u2014not doing so until April 1\u2014he reversed course in June. While the rest of the nation socially distanced, he reopened the state\u2019s signature beaches. While the rest of the country masked up, he resisted mandates to do the same in Florida. Businesses started reopening in June. All 67 of the state\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-education-lesson-from-covid-lockdowns-school-choice-is-imperative-for-every-child\/\" title=\"The Education Lesson from COVID Lockdowns: School Choice Is Imperative for Every Child\">public school districts<\/a> were open for in-person learning by October 2020.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019s real signature issue, though, has been his war against \u201cwokeness\u201d: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-launches-2024-run-for-president\/\" title=\"DeSantis announces 2024 presidential bid.\">left-leaning policies advanced<\/a> through government bureaucracies and increasingly through corporations doing the government\u2019s will and often seeking to control popular thoughts, attitudes, and speech.<\/p>\n<p>Countless Floridians approve of DeSantis\u2019s leadership, as evidenced by his high approval ratings and his reelection victory over former U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist by a nearly 10-point margin. With his bold conservative stance, character, and conviction, DeSantis is poised to inspire a nation and lead us forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has declared his candidacy for the 2024 presidential race in a video posted on Twitter.
