DeSantis Expected To Announce 2024 Presidential Bid In Mid-May

US

NBC has reported that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is “poised” to announce a White House bid as soon as mid-May.

  • NBC: “Some of [DeSantis’] backers are urging him to declare as early as May 11, to counter the creeping national narrative that former President Donald Trump is the overwhelming front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination. Others in the governor’s orbit, however, have argued that that date would be too soon, according to two of those sources. All emphasized, however, that mid-May is the target.”
  • Some observers have suggested that, by delaying an announcement, DeSantis failed to capitalise on early momentum from a strong 2022 midterm election performance and provided space for former President Donald Trump to reposition himself as GOP favourite.
