In terms of popularity, Trump enjoys an approval rate of 79% among potential GOP voters, while DeSantis is viewed favorably by 71% of the party's electorate.
"We can’t expect someone to run the country if they can’t properly run their own campaign launch. The stakes are simply too great in 2024 to take a chance on someone as unreliable as DeSantis — we need a proven winner like President Trump to take back the White House and Make America Great Again!”
DeSantis' announcement, released in an audio-only format, was made public through an FEC filing ahead of a virtual conversation with Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter.
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy wrote in an advisory that there is "reason to be concerned" with the potential harm caused by social media on the minds of youth.
Musk shared that DeSantis will be making “quite an announcement” on Twitter and referred to the event as "the first time something like this is happening on social media.”
