Ron DeSantis to Launch 2024 Bid on Twitter Live Stream with Elon Musk
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Florida's Republican Governor Ron De Santis is announcing his 2024
presidential campaign today during a Twitter Spaces live stream with
Elon Musk. David Sacks, Republican donor and ally of both De Santis and
Musk, is set to moderate the event. De Santis has been polling behind
Donald Trump thus far, as rights groups warn of a De Santis presidency
amid his mounting attacks on LGBTQ people, Black people, reproductive
rights and immigrants in Florida.
