Ron DeSantis declares 2024 candidacy in glitchy Twitter Spaces event
"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis officially filed paperwork Wednesday to seek the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election and announced his candidacy via Twitter.
Why it matters: DeSantis — widely seen as former President Trump's most serious challenger — made a name for himself challenging COVID protocols and pursuing an aggressive conservative agenda on race, gender and education in the state of Florida after easily winning re-election in 2022.
State of play: He formally announced his run Wednesday evening, notably during a Twitter Spaces event with Elon Musk instead of on Fox News — after months of speculation about his ambitions.
The Twitter Spaces event got off to a rough start with an over 20-minute delay after the first link crashed. A second Twitter Spaces was started, but it was interspersed with occasionally dropped audio or disrupted connections for listeners."
