Ron DeSantis is finally set to formally launch his 2024 presidential campaign next week, according to reports. The Florida governor will make his long-awaited announcement as Republican fundraisers gather in Miami, with official paperwork declaring his candidacy expected to be filed on May 25. His campaign comes after the end of a Florida legislative session this month in which he burnished his hard-right credentials by dialing up restrictions on discussing gender in schools, scrapped diversity programs at colleges, cracked down on illegal immigration, and signed a six-week abortion ban into law. The governor’s declaration will also follow TV adverts run by a pro-DeSantis super PAC, PAC Never Back Down, criticizing Donald Trump—currently DeSantis’ main rival for the Republican nomination.
