Casey DeSantis teases launch of husband Ron's 2024 presidential campaign
Florida’s first lady Casey DeSantis shared a video clip that teases the imminent launch of her husband Gov. Ron DeSantis’ 2024 presidential campaign.
The 30-second clip, which Casey DeSantis posted on her Twitter page, asks viewers to text “Launch” to a number that replies with a message from “Ron DeSantis for President.”
“America is worth the fight… Every. Single. Time,” she tweeted with a video showing her husband preparing to walk onto a stage.
“They call it faith because, in the face of darkness, you can see that brighter future. A faith that our best days lay ahead of us. But is it worth the fight? Do I have the courage? Is it worth the sacrifice? America has been worth it every single time,” a narrator says in the clip as dramatic music plays.
The Republican governor will formally announce his entry into the 2024 presidential race Wednesday night during a Twitter Spaces event at 6 p.m. with the social media platform’s CEO Elon Musk.
DeSantis’ press secretary, Bryan Griffin, also shared the teaser clip with the caption, “Game on.”
The clip shared by Casey DeSantis is the latest sign that the Florida governor isn’t having second thoughts about going up against former President Donald Trump and a host of other GOP primary candidates in 2024.

Earlier Tuesday, the Florida first lady shared a Fox News story about her husband’s anticipated Wednesday launch, with the caption, “Big if true…” and a smiley-face emoji.
Ron DeSantis’ website was also wiped clean on Tuesday, and it now only displays a black screen with a lurking alligator — a creature native to Florida.
The DeSantis War Room Twitter account on Tuesday also posted the alligator image with the caption, “05.24.2023,” hinting at Wednesday’s announcement.

Casey DeSantis’ big 2024 hints come days after a Politico profile of her was published, which critics bashed as misogynistic and vicious.
The article, citing anonymous former DeSantis staffers, alleges that the first lady of Florida is “blindly ambitious” in an effort to help her husband become the next US president, and it labeled the 42-year-old former Jacksonville TV anchor, breast cancer survivor and mom of three as “paranoid” and “vindictive.”
“If you’re a Democrat and a woman, you’re ‘fierce’ or an ‘unapologetic’ or whatever,” a senior DeSantis adviser lamented to The Post. “If you’re a Republican or a conservative, you turn into a cartoon villainess.”
