The Washington Times has confirmed that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will officially launch his 2024 presidential campaign on Wednesday in an event on Twitter.
Alongside business magnate and visionary engineer Elon Musk, who confirmed the event as well.
As the Times reports:
The DeSantis political team confirmed the governor will make the announcement in a 6 p.m. Twitter Spaces event hosted by Mr. Musk, the social media platform's owner.
Mr. DeSantis, 44, who is now serving his second term as Florida governor, is a top contender in a GOP field that has so far been dominated by former President Donald Trump.
Mr. Trump, 76, leads Mr. DeSantis nationally by an average of 37 points but the early primary voting states show a closer race between the two candidates.
Mr. DeSantis' announcement will come two days after Sen. Tim Scott, of South Carolina, announced that he would seek the GOP presidential nomination.
Great American News Desk has more on the widely-anticipated announcement:
Sources familiar confirmed to Fox News that the popular, conservative two-term governor will declare that he's a candidate for president on Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET during a conversation with Elon Musk on Twitter.
Along with his announcement, DeSantis is expected to file paperwork with the Federal Election Commission, which officially launches his GOP presidential campaign.
American Liberty News reported that DeSantis' official campaign kickoff is expected a few days later in Dunedin, Florida — the governor's hometown.

He could have fooled us and likely won 2028, but he opted for political suicide by challenging Trump. Trump seems to get all the bad actors to reveal themselves at some point.
