Ron DeSantis Announced He’s Running For President.
So what can we expect from his campaign?
Well, the day has come.
Finally, after months and months of speculation and running around the country pandering to all the right people, Ron DeSantis has officially announced that he will be running for President in 2024. As I’ve said before, while DeSantis might theoretically be more dangerous than Trump should he actually get elected, this campaign has felt over before it even started for months now.
But what does this campaign actually look like?
One thing is for certain…Polls consistently show him trailing by over 30 points. Ron DeSantis does not have the charisma or desire to do what it will take in order to substantively close the deficit he’s looking at when it comes to running against Donald Trump.
Personally, I’m just curious to see how DeSantis is going to respond when things inevitably begin to fall apart. How is he going to treat Donald Trump? How is he going to respond when Trump uses the platform of the debate stage to remind the national audience that he’s responsible for his career? What’s going to happen when he lets out one of those terrifyingly awkward laughs during a televised town hall?
