‘Game on’: Team DeSantis drops ‘LAUNCH’ teaser video day before 2024 announcement

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (FLV) – Gov. Ron DeSantis’ wife, Casey DeSantis, released a teaser video in the lead up to Wednesday’s 2024 campaign launch.

In the video, DeSantis is seen standing behind an American flag with dramatic music, preparing for what seems to be a rally speech.

“Is it worth the fight? Do I have the courage? Is it worth the sacrifice?” the narrator is heard saying. “America has been worth it – every single time.”

The video urges viewers to text the term “LAUNCH” to their campaign phone number, which names itself as “Ron DeSantis for President.”

Bryan Griffin, press secretary for the governor’s political team, declared “Game on” Tuesday evening.

It was confirmed Tuesday that DeSantis will declare his 2024 candidacy Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. EST in a Twitter live podcast interview with Elon Musk.

The governor will also reportedly file official 2024 paperwork with the Federal Election Commission Wednesday evening.

DeSantis will immediately enter the 2024 GOP primary field as the runner-up to former President Donald Trump, who expected the challenge since DeSantis’ landslide victory in 2022.

Davis Sacks, who regularly communicates with Musk and is supportive of the Florida governor, will reportedly moderate the event held on Twitter Spaces, which is the social media site’s live audio podcasting platform.

The governor has been visiting early primary and swing states for months, since his book The Courage to Be Free: Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Revival on Feb. 28.

Now, DeSantis will not need to mince words on whether he is seeking the Oval Office next year when speaking to nationwide crowds.

The impending announcement also comes after months of persistent attacks from former President Donald Trump, his campaign and his supporters, who expected the governor to entered the race since last year when he won reelection by almost 20 points.

Monday, Griffin proclaimed that the governor serves as the “greatest threat” to the former president’s 2024 prospects.
