DeSantis In The Game!

The Con DeSantis.

Florida looks like a penis and its governor is a dick.

It's official, Florida governor Ron DeSantis is entering the 2024 presidential race and it will be Washed Up 45's most formidable opponent. 

In 2022, Ron DeSantis easily beaten former governor and congressman Charlie Crist. It formally took Florida off the swing state table. Florida now became the state where Republicans rule 3 to 1 in legislation. It lost one major city to a Democrat the past week.

The state Republicans and its governor been at odds with Disney, Florida orange growers, people of color and immigrants. The governor is the "King of Culture Wars."

He will be endorsed by Elon Musk, the controversial billionaire who is owner of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter.

The 44-year-old Republican governor plans to announce his decision in an online conversation with Musk, according to two people with knowledge of the decision. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the announcement publicly.

The audio-only event will be streamed on Twitter Spaces beginning at 6 p.m. EDT. DeSantis will follow up with a round of prime-time appearances on conservative programs, including Fox and Mark Levin’s radio show.

DeSantis gave no hint as to his plans during a meeting of the state clemency board in Tallahassee on Wednesday, where he granted several pardons to former prisoners charged mostly with drug-related crimes decades ago.

“You are what the country needs,” one man said after getting his pardon.

A smiling DeSantis chuckled and thanked him.

Right off the bat, he touted how he ended "wokeism" in Florida, he will make the Supreme Court a 7-2 majority if he was president. 

By day’s end, DeSantis planned to join the crowded Republican contest to decide whether the party will move on from Trump in 2024 as it works to take the White House from President Joe Biden.

Beyond Trump, those already in the GOP field include former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Former Vice President Mike Pence is expected to announce his candidacy in the coming weeks.

DeSantis has embraced Trump’s combative style and many of his policies, but casts himself as a younger and more electable version of the former president.

In choosing Twitter to launch his candidacy, DeSantis is taking a page out of the playbook that helped turn businessman-TV celebrity Trump into a political star.

The timing of DeSantis’ long-expected announcement has been shrouded, with various iterations of plans being leaked over the past few days. Some close to him suspected that he was providing conflicting information about the timing and location to root out leakers. Others believe he changed his initial preparations after news reports came out about them.
