THE Ron DeSandis confirmed on Wednesday that he will seek the Republican “anointing” for the presidential elections at USA in 2024. The premiere of his campaign, an interview with the owner of Twitter Elon Muskcaused a sensation, mainly for the technical problems and less for his positions, which are known anyway.
Ron DeSandis, the governor of Florida, has many supporters across the spectrum of the American right, and for this reason he is seen as the alternative to Donald Trump. The two have quite a lot in common politically and ideologically, but DeSandis, at least to this day, he has avoided the communicative excesses and extremes of the tycoon former president of the USA.
DeSandis promised the “America’s Great Comeback”a slogan that alludes to Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan “Make America Great Again”. As governor of Florida he managed to transform it into a “laboratory” of ultra-conservative ideas.
“I am committed to being an energetic leader who will address the important issues,” he said, and he particularly insisted on the issue of immigrants.
A former Navy officer, he increased his popularity with measures aimed at the ultra-conservative – far-right publicespecially on immigration and education, denouncing the supposed ideological “indoctrination” of young people. He even clashed with Disney over “woke” culture.
Donald Trump welcomed the many technical problems, but he himself knows that Ron DeSandis is a threatfor which he has long indulged in vitriolic comments about the Florida governor.
Many American conservatives had pinned their hopes on him for victory over the Democrats when the former Republican president looked weakened. Although he is presented as the “rising star” of the American Right, many point out that he is not a charismatic communicator. Not everyone agrees with this approach: “DeSandis is Donald Trump with brains and without the circus,” wrote the Financial Times.
In this situation, polls show him well behind Donald Trump, but the election season is long and much can change. Be that as it may, and even though Trump has predicted that sooner or later he will drop out of the race, DeSandis says he is determined to fight and seems to have a number of strong supporters. According to the information, he managed to raise one million dollars in just the first hour of the campaign.
