0:59Now PlayingRon DeSantis officially launched his long-awaited 2024 presidential campaign Wednesday, signaling he will lean into culture war issues as a central strategy to wrestle the Republican nomination from Donald Trump.
The Florida governor held a Twitter Spaces event with its owner Elon Musk that was initially delayed by having thousands of listeners tuned in. DeSantis enters the race as the strongest challenger yet to the former president and current GOP front runner in most polls.
“Our border is a disaster. Crime infests our cities. The federal government makes it harder for families to make ends meet, and the president flounders. But decline is a choice. Success is attainable, and freedom is worth fighting for,” DeSantis said in a video posted to Twitter with the American flag as a backdrop.
DeSantis earlier made his candidacy official in a filing with federal regulators. Once the Twitter live event was able to get underway, he praised Musk’s handling of the social media platform and repeated conservative attacks that the social media industry was biased against conservative viewpoints.
