Most people have just kind of been assuming that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would be jumping into the 2024 presidential race any day now. Donald Trump has clearly been making that assumption as well, judging by his increasingly frantic and unhinged posts about Ron DeSanctimonious being bad for America.
Anyway, according to reports, it looks like any day now could be tomorrow:
#BREAKING: @RonDeSantis is IN.
Great move making the announcement with @ElonMusk.
Heads on all sides will explode. https://t.co/z7uT9qz3Kr

Musk and DeSantis will host an event on Twitter Spaces, the site’s platform for audio chats, on Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET. It will be moderated by David Sacks, a tech entrepreneur who is a Musk confidant and DeSantis supporter.
That same evening, the campaign will release a launch video, and DeSantis will begin visiting several early states after Memorial Day.
…
It’s not clear if Musk will formally endorse DeSantis on Wednesday, but another source said that within DeSantis’ team, his participation is viewed as a clear sign of support for the governor.
According to Bill Melugin, Fox News has confirmed that DeSantis’ announcement is coming during the Twitter Spaces event tomorrow night:
BREAKING: @FoxNews confirms Florida Governor @RonDeSantis will announce his 2024 Presidential run tomorrow night, 6pm ET in a Twitter Spaces interview with @elonmusk.
