DeSantis' Twitter launch and campaign finance raise concerns.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's 2024 presidential campaign launch on Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk was marred by technical glitches and mocked by critics. While DeSantis's campaign raised $8.2 million within 24 hours of launching, his dwindling poll numbers and rocky rollout have dented his reputation and handed some of his rivals an easy opening to attack him. Former President Donald Trump called DeSantis's launch a "disaster" and posted a doctored video on Instagram. DeSantis's allies have acknowledged Trump's lead but say that the race is much tighter than what polls suggest.
