DeSantis announces

As expected Ron DeSantis has announced his candidacy for President. After he won re-election in Florida by a massive 20%, he was seen as formidable in terms of electability. But he has fallen back in primary polls from 30% to 20% while Trump has gone from 45% to 55%.

Trump is attacking him relentlessly as the only candidate who could possibly beat him. It will be interesting to see if DeSantis attacks back with equal vigour. It will also be interesting to see his response is Trump is charged over his refusal to hand back classified materials, and obstruction of the FBI.

The primary election will start on 22 January with the Iowa caucus.
