DeSantis Gains Momentum in 2024 Presidential Race with Trump's Endorsement and Billionaire Support

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to launch an exploratory committee for a potential 2024 presidential run as early as mid-May, according to sources. Some of his supporters are urging him to declare early to counter the narrative that former President Donald Trump is the overwhelming front-runner for the GOP nomination. However, DeSantis' poll numbers have lagged, and he has faced criticism for his handling of certain issues. National political vendors have also descended on Tallahassee, indicating a likely presidential launch.
