DeSantis releases Presidential campaign video

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis released an ad Wednesday (May 24) announcing he would seek the 2024 Republican nomination for president.

The ad was released when an audio interview on Twitter meant to showcase his entry into the race, instead drew attention for technical problems.

DeSantis made his announcement in a video ahead of joining Twitter CEO Elon Musk on the platform. The broadcast of the interview, which had been intended to be the formal launch for the DeSantis campaign, at times lost sound and some users were either unable to join or were dropped. It was an inauspicious start for a campaign predicated on the governor's executive competence.

The Florida governor's entrance in the Republican contest set up a showdown with his one-time ally, former President Donald Trump, that will shake up the race for the White House.

With a rising national profile and what are expected to be deep financial resources, DeSantis, 44, immediately becomes Trump's biggest rival for the Republican nomination.

America is like a 45 year old man hitting the nightclubs trying to convince himself he's still got it.

[catsareawesome]

This feels like some kinda supervillan speech

[asshead]

What is his definition of “freedom”. It is apparent to me that Ron DeSantis is not big on everyone’s human rights unless they look like him.

[Kingslily]

He said "Florida" and "Education" in the same sentence. 🤔

I've seen video game footage similar to this somewhere. This feels eeriely like the campaign ad of a Corporate Lawyer, for a company that's got a few slave planets they don't want anyone to know about.

Oh, I can't wait for Desantis vs. Homelander for best American Villain.

"Freedom is worth fighting for which is why I'm going to take away all your rights"

[iamjake]

common sense must become common, i will bring order to chaos, light to dark, dirty to clean, raw to cooked, give heights to the low, give sound to the deaf, give knowledge to the uneducated, hope to the hopeless. REALLY this is a real person saying literally nothing

[califkimberley]

I’m still voting for Trump. I love you but I voted for you to be my governor and you promised you wouldn’t be running for president. So basically you lied.

“I’m fighting for freedom, but my freedom to oppress others”

[beachbum]

A bobble head is running for Prez. Love it when he wipes his snot on his what a guy.

[AoiUsagiOtoko]

this feels like a video of a cartoon supervillain, like captain planet is about to fly in and deck him in the face. that'd be a welcome plot twist, lmao

[Archangelsword]

This man lost a fight with Mickey Mouse 😂🤣😂🤣 enough said.

[rabbigrape]

Boy this ad aged poorly huh? He's nose dived ever since it came out. LOVE IT!!!

[ytcontent]

Id rather see him become president rather than lunatic biden

[sonicdeeofficial]

DeSantis doesn't care about Florida's he is now focusing on fighting with the giant mouse! Hahahahaha

[spaceybunni]

All we've learned in Florida is that businesses aren't allowed to disagree with the government, trans people aren't allowed to pee, and books have to be politically approved before they can be read! If y'all actually let this man win I stg-

Once upon a Time Santis sent illegals to Martha’s Vineyard. The Swamp—-and their $$$—-told Santis no more trips to the Vineyard or no more donations—-Santis stopped and did as he was told.

[desdicadoric]

Exactly the same issues as in every western country. Makes you wonder why

[chewy]

For a second I thought Joe Rogan was doing an intro lol.
