DeSantis will likely file paperwork declaring his candidacy on May 25 to coincide with a donor meeting in Miami, with a more formal launch the week of May 29, according to a source.
The invitation for the May 25 event stated that donors would be put to work, an apparent allusion to raising money for DeSantis, according to a source familiar with the event.Representatives for DeSantis did not immediately return a request for comment.Former U.S. President Trump has in recent weeks stepped up his political attacks on the Florida governor and maintains a commanding lead in the 2024 Republican primary, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.DeSantis insistence on staying out of the race until the Florida legislature completed its spring session earlier this month rattled some high-profile Republican donors who had wanted him to jump in sooner rather than later to rebut Trump.

Remember when Trump's people planted a story that Ted Cruz' dad might have been involved in JFK's assassination? Get ready to rock'n'roll.

Dude's campaign is a disaster before it even starts. This will seriously damage his career. Scott Walker II. Extreme assholishness can dominate in a red state, but he has all the charisma of a case of the Clap.
