According to reports, the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, told top donors during a fundraising call that he, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump are the only “credible” candidates for president in 2024. The governor is confident in his ability to beat Biden in the general election, as polling pitting DeSantis against Biden results in a narrow win for either man. He has received massive financial support from groups, including the Super PAC Never Back Down and Empower Parents, which has previously been named Friends of Ron DeSantis. This is reflected in the name change of the aforementioned Friends of Ron DeSantis, now known as Empower Parents. In summary, Governor Ron DeSantis’s upcoming announcement of his run for President in 2024 has been met with a mix of reactions.
