On Tuesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made his official announcement to run for the presidency of the United States. However, his launch on Twitter Spaces did not go smoothly as thousands of his followers had to wait for 20 minutes due to a technical glitch.
The event was hosted by Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter Spaces, and DeSantis’ campaign team blamed the problem on the massive number of online users who were attempting to access the event. However, the delay did not go unnoticed, and DeSantis’ Republican presidential rival, Donald Trump, predicted that the entire campaign would be “a disaster.”
Despite the rough start, DeSantis remains a serious contender in the Republican primary race. His campaign has been focused on his record as Governor of Florida, where he has been a vocal opponent of pandemic restrictions, critical race theory, and big tech censorship.
DeSantis’ supporters point to his success in Florida, which has a thriving economy and low unemployment rates. They also praise his efforts to protect individual liberties and conservative values.
While DeSantis faces a tough battle ahead, his presidential campaign is already making headlines and sparking debate among Republicans. As the race heats up, voters will be watching closely to see who emerges as the top contender to take on Democratic incumbent, Joe Biden, in the 2024 election.
