How to watch DeSantis’s 2024 announcement
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to launch a 2024 presidential bid Wednesday, joining former President Trump and others in the growing GOP primary race.
After months of moves that hinted at a possible bid, DeSantis is expected to formally kickstart his bid during a live discussion with Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Twitter Spaces.
Musk shared a link to the Twitter Space ahead of the conversation, expected to happen at 6 p.m. EDT.

Twitter Spaces is a live audio conversation platform, so there won’t be much to see during the discussion — but users can listen in when the discussion goes live. Listeners do not need to be logged in to a Twitter account to join.
The Florida governor is also set to sit for an interview on Fox News with former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Wednesday at 8 p.m. EDT, according to the network.
Casey DeSantis, the Florida first lady, shared a video Tuesday evening teasing her husband’s expected 2024 launch; a 30-second clip showed the governor appearing to ready himself to head onto a stage. She also shared a Fox News article about her husband’s expected Wednesday kickoff, captioning it “Big if true…” along with a smiley-face emoji.
DeSantis changed his personal Twitter handle ahead of the expected campaign, dropping the “FL” reference to his home state from the end of his username.
