The campaign manager for Ron DeSantis’ presidential candidacy thinks he can top Donald Trump’s polls. The governor of Florida announced his candidacy for the Republican primary on Wednesday via a Twitter broadcast. Donald Trump, eclipsing Mike Pence – Trump’s vice president – and former UN ambassador Nikki Haley. But the entry of South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott into the race could change that. The winner of the Republican primary will likely face President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. Gabriel Llanes told Sputnik that the widely ridiculed technical issues with the Florida governor’s campaign announcement were actually a sign of his popular support. But the campaign organizer dismissed this as an early push for the marquee candidate. “I don’t put a lot of stake in polls. Polling methodology these days isn’t incredibly strong,” Llanes insisted. “I will remind people that there are 75 weeks left until the election and Ron DeSantis is already voting in the 20th percentile, which means a quarter of primary voters have already decided they like Ron DeSantis when he doesn’t hasn’t even announced yet.” He pointed out that then-Senator Barack Obama was way behind Hillary Clinton ahead of the first Democratic primaries in 2008. “So there’s a lot of time here, a lot of ground to cover,” Llanes said. “I guarantee you that the polls will start to close in the next… two or three months.” Kennedy Jr’s left challenge to Biden during the Democratic primaries, Professor David Woodard told Sputnik he was not surprised that tech mogul Elon Musk hosted the DeSantis campaign launch on his media site recently acquired social. “Twitter was used because it’s the next medium, replacing TV and other mainstream media,” he said. “It wasn’t a very good launch for DeSantis, but he’s trying to push the boundaries and that will help him in the future.” But the academic said Twitter ownership would not make Musk a political “kingmaker”. The professor doubted the Twitter boss and Tesla founder Motors has political ambitions like fellow billionaires George Soros or Charles Koch.”Musk has a lot to lose by associating himself with a political party or figure,” Woodard explained. “I don’t think he’s going to be there. vanguard to try to elect a president or dominate a political party. At some point in the future, DeSantis will have to defeat Trump in a head-to-head election — that will be a turning point.” He said there were only so many other factors besides Musk’s support at stake in the Governor of Florida’s challenge to Trump for the Republican candidacy to drop out,” Woodward said. “If things go as planned, DeSantis can thank Musk.” For more in-depth commentary on the events news, follow our radio show Sputnik Fault Lines.

Gabriel Llanes, executive director of the Ready For Ron political action committee, said the Florida governor is offering voters a “future” as Trump tries to retake the 2020 election. Clemson University political scientist Prof. David Woodard, said his Twitter campaign launch was up to date.
The campaign manager for Ron DeSantis’ presidential candidacy thinks he can top Donald Trump’s polls.
He has already become a second distant rival to former President Donald Trump, eclipsing Mike Pence – Trump’s vice president – and former UN ambassador Nikki Haley. But the entry of South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott into the race could change that.
The winner of the Republican primary will likely face President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
“You had 500,000 people trying to connect to the server, the server, and another 50,000 trying to connect every 30 seconds,” he said.
Trump has led recent polls of Republican voters by an overwhelming margin with more than 50% support, while DeSantis languishes at best in the mid-20s. But the campaign organizer dismissed that as an early push for the candidate. renowned.
“I don’t place a lot of importance on polls. Polling methodology these days isn’t incredibly strong,” Llanes insisted. “I will remind people that there are 75 weeks left until the election and Ron DeSantis is already voting in the 20th percentile, which means a quarter of primary voters have already decided they like Ron DeSantis when he doesn’t hasn’t even announced yet.”
He pointed out that then-Senator Barack Obama was way behind Hillary Clinton ahead of the first Democratic primaries in 2008. “So there’s a lot of time here, a lot of ground to cover,” Llanes said. “I guarantee you that the polls will start to close in the next… two or three months.”
The PAC director said that, as in 2008 and 2016, voters want a real change of direction – as evidenced by Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s left-wing challenge to Biden in the Democratic primaries.
“The same reason you have someone like RFK starting to poll so well on the Democratic side, people just want a change, they want something new.” Llanes said, noting that Trump was still complaining about voter fraud in the 2020 election. “He keeps talking about it, nauseating. I think that’s his biggest downfall. He’s not giving us a coming.”
Professor David Woodard told Sputnik he was not surprised that tech mogul Elon Musk hosted the launch of the DeSantis campaign on his recently acquired social media site.
“Twitter has been used because it’s the next medium of communication, replacing TV and other mainstream media,” he said. “It wasn’t a great start for DeSantis, but he’s trying to push the envelope and that will help him going forward.”
But the academic said ownership of Twitter would not make Musk a political “kingmaker”.
“The facts are that American voters are not swayed by anything, not looks, not money, not position,” Woodward said. “Voters treasure their independence and are fickle when it comes to being used by popular figures. DeSantis is a strong candidate for a number of reasons, and I’m sure Musk can help, but no candidate should come close to anything to define itself.”
The professor doubted that the Twitter boss and founder of Tesla Motors had political ambitions like fellow billionaires George Soros or Charles Koch.
“Musk has a lot to lose by associating with a political party or figure,” Woodard explained. “I think he won’t be at the forefront of trying to elect a president or dominate a political party. At some point in the future, DeSantis will have to defeat Trump in a head-to-head election. -head – it will be a turning point.”
He said there were only so many factors other than Musk’s support at play in the Florida governor’s challenge to Trump for the Republican candidacy.
“He’s going to need a lot of support, Trump will have to be defeated where he’s been strong, and other candidates will have to drop out,” Woodward said. “If things go well, DeSantis can thank Musk.”
