With Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis, another political heavyweight has entered the race for the US presidency. The 44-year-old former military attorney and congressman submitted the relevant documents to the Federal Elections Commission on Wednesday and officially announced in a video on Twitter in the evening: “I’m running for president to lead our great American comeback.”
But before DeSantis can actually run for president, he must first win the Republican primary – and in doing so, get rid of his one-time mentor Donald Trump. He reacted promptly to the announcement of his inner-party rival: “Instead of being grateful, DeSantis is now attacking the very man who saved his career,” says one of two videos Trump posted on his online platform “Truth Social”. published. Besides, there is only one person who can make America great again, and that is Donald Trump.
But Trump isn’t DeSantis’ only competitor in the Grand Old Party primaries. In the photo series above you can see which Republicans still want to compete for their party against Incumbent President Joe Biden.
