Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to make a move into the 2024 presidential race in the next few weeks, according to sources close to the governor. This move will be marked by the relocation of the DeSantis political operation to a new headquarters in Tallahassee on Monday.
The relocation is expected to cost more than $5,000, which will trigger a 15-day window for DeSantis to submit filings with the Federal Election Commission. This window will kick-start the first federal election disclosures for a potential 2024 DeSantis campaign.
The move comes as former President Donald Trump had to abruptly cancel a planned outdoor rally in Florida on Saturday due to a tornado watch. The decision averted a highly anticipated clash-of-the-titans weekend in the state that will hold the nation’s first primary contest next year.
Meanwhile, DeSantis was in the western part of the state, mingling with voters at Iowa Republican Rep. Randy Feenstra’s annual family picnic event in Sioux Center. Trump promised in a Truth Social post that he would reschedule the rally soon.
The relocation of the DeSantis political operation and the cancellation of Trump’s rally mark the beginning of a new chapter in the 2024 presidential race. With the window for filing federal election disclosures now open, it appears that DeSantis is gearing up to make a bid for the White House.
