Governor Ron DeSantis has filed his Federal Election Commission paperwork to enter the race for the Republican nomination and ultimately, the White House.
The state of Florida will be run by Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nunez in DeSantis’s absence on the campaign trail. Nunez is best known for calling former President Donald Trump a “con man” and “KKK” supporter.
DeSantis cancelled plans to give a speech to launch his campaign, instead opting to do a Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk alongside former Clinton donor David Sacks.
He’ll first launch his campaign amongst billionaires at the Four Seasons in Miami, and then talk to another billionaire – Elon Musk – on Twitter Spaces. DeSantis will then go on billionaire Rupert Murdoch’s network (Fox) for an interview.

Apple and Broadcom have announced a multibillion-dollar agreement over 5G and wireless components to be made in Fort Collins, Colorado. The deal comes after former President Donald Trump negotiated the re-domiciling of Broadcom from Singapore to the United States in 2017, as well as convincing Apple themselves to invest in the years during, and since, his presidency.
“All of Apple’s products depend on technology engineered and built here in the United States, and we’ll continue to deepen our investments in the US. economy because we have an unshakable belief in America’s future,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a press release Tuesday.
In 2017, Broadcom’s CEO Hock Tan told lavished praise on Trump, telling reporters: “America is again the best place to lead a business with a global footprint. Thanks to you Mr. President, business conditions have steadily improved.” The company announced its intention to re-domicile in the United States shortly after.
Trump pledged in 2016 that he would “get Apple to build a big plant in the United States, or many big plants in the United States.” Cook soon announced $350 billion for new facilities creating 20,000 jobs, which later increased to $430 billion due to the economic growth of the Trump years.

Legacy media outlets appear to be panicking as Donald Trump’s policy platform for 2024 comes into sharper focus, with it now being evident that the gloves will come off if he gets a second chance to “drain the swamp”.
In a brace of stories by former Bloomberg reporter Sophia Cai, corporate-owned news site Axios bemoaned Trump’s “new strong-man agenda” for 2024.
Cai, whose employer claims to be above pushing opinions on readers, complained that Trump’s “grievance-driven campaign” was “fueling a tear-it-all-down agenda” – and warned it could give the former president “control of virtually every facet of life in America.”
Some of the Agenda47 “strong man” policies she cited were:
Trump’s pledge to fire the “Radical Marxist Prosecutors Destroying America”.
Trump’s pledge to pass a law “prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states” and launch an investigation into whether “Big Pharma and the big hospital networks… have [d]eliberately covered up horrific long-term side-effects of ‘sex transitions’ to get rich at the expense of vulnerable patients.”
Trump’s pledge to repeal Biden’s “extremist agenda to destroy America’s suburbs” by pressuring them to construct “giant multi-family apartment complexes” in their midst – a policy designed to forcibly alter communities’ electoral and ethnic make-up, many suspect.
Trump’s pledge to introduce “baby bonuses” to support young parents, similar to those in conservative-led Hungary and Poland, to launch “a new baby boom” and obviate the alleged need for mass migration.
Trump’s pledge to “designate cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations” and use the military to “inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership and operations”.
Axios seemed particularly exercised about Trump’s desire “to give the president the authority to hire and fire federal workers at will” in order to “attack what he calls the ‘deep state.'”
Why it would be a problem for the people’s foremost elected representative be able to dispense with an entrenched bureaucracy of unelected officials thwarting voters’ wishes was left unclear.
New data released Tuesday shows Americans believe the media to be “truly the enemy of the people,” according to Rasmussen, who asked likely voters if they agreed with Trump’s 2019 tweet verbiage.

Nikki Haley’s campaign has attempted to land a blow of FloridaGovernor Ron DeSantis just days before he is due to officially enter the race for the Republican nomination. Haley, the neoconservative former UN Ambassador said in a memo released to POLITICO: “Ron DeSantis is like Trump, drama and all – but without any of the charm.”
Haley’s campaign manager argued in the memo, “DeSantis is echoing Trump on everything from policy to his body language and hand gestures,” but argues: “[t]he glaring difference between the two is DeSantis’ inability to interact directly with voters. The last several months have been filled with brutal headlines about his lack of basic people skills.”
“Ron DeSantis is like Trump, drama and all – but without any of the charm.”
– Nikki Haley for President
DeSantis, expected to announce his candidacy as early as tomorrow, is polling second, behind a distant Donald Trump. DeSantis removed the “FL” addendum from his Twitter handle yesterday. who has a 38-point lead. Nikki Haley is polling at around four percent.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump both spent around 250 days away from the White House during their first terms; however, unlike Trump, Biden has spent nearly a month alone staying at the homes of his donors, reportsThe Washington Post.
Biden has spent large amounts of time as president at private properties “receiving favors from wealthy allies,” argues Phillip Bump.
At the end of 2022, he spent time at the home of Bill and Connie Neville, who donated $10,000 during Biden’s 2020 campaign as well as other Democrats such as Kirsten Gillibrand, Tommy Tuberville, Chuck Schumer, Mike Crapo, and Joe Manchin.
Biden also stayed at billionaire David Rubenstein’s $30 million Martha’s Vineyard compound twice during his presidency, including last Thanksgiving.
Last year, Biden vacationed at another $20 million South Carolina estate owned by Maria Allwin, who has previously donated to Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris. Allwin even donated $5,800 to the virulent anti-Trumper Liz Cheney, who was competing against Trump’s preferred nominee for the Wyoming House of Representatives, Harriet Hageman.
The vast majority of Trump’s vacation time, on the other hand, was spent at his own properties, playing golf or dining with club members, where “[h]is interactions with Mar-a-Lago customers in that facility’s dining room became the stuff of presidential legend,” states Bump.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has ditched Florida – specifically, removing the “FL” part of his social media username “RonDeSantisFL”. His account is now simply “RonDeSantis”.
It’s not clear why the Governor’s social media team felt they needed to remove the reference to his tenure as the governor of the Sunshine State, not least because the Florida legislature just passed controversial legislation changes so that he could technically remain Governor in name only while mounting a run for the White House.
DeSantis is expected to declare his official candidacy in the next few days, though he has been “shadow-campaigning” since January 2022, before he was even re-elected to the governor’s mansion in Tallahassee.
The removal of his Florida moniker on Twitter has already rankled locals, who believed they were electing him for a full second term. While he’s out campaigning during primary season, the state will be run by Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nunez, who has referred to former President Donald Trump as a KKK supporter and “con-man.”

Former President Donald J. Trump has dropped a whopping $3.8Bn law suit on the Washington Post following their report that linked his Truth Social platform to a “porn friendly” bank.
The lawsuit alleges WaPo “published an egregious hit piece that falsely accused TMTG of securities fraud and other wrongdoing” and “has been on a years-long crusade against TMTG characterized by the concealment of relevant information in its possession.”
“WaPo’s false criminal charges exposed TMTG to public ridicule, contempt and distrust, and injured TMTG’s business and reputation,” the suit said.
The Washington Post has focused heavily on attempting to discredit Truth Social, even going so far as to ridicule its own source – a former Trump business junior by the name of Will Wilkerson – who they disclosed now works as a barista at Starbucks.

A majority of Americans now believe that Trump’s alleged Russian collusion during the 2016 presidential campaign, alongside the Steele dossier, are ‘false stories’ according to a recent poll conducted by Harvard Caps Harris.
More than half of Americans – 56 percent – believe that Trump working in concert with Russia was a lie. Another 56 percent also believe that the Steele dossier was untrue, but 44 percent still believe it. Still, that’s a marked shift from 2020, when 53 percent said they believed it to be real.
The 44 percent still convinced, despite the Durham report’s findings, are predominantly Democrats in their political affiliation. Seventy percent of Dems still believe the Russian collusion narrative.
Democrat opinions have scarcely changed regarding the Steele dossier as, according to the Harvard-Harris poll in April 2020, 77 percent believed it was true.
Despite this, an astonishing 69 percent of Americans say they are “not surprised” the “FBI violated its own standards in starting the Trump-Russia probe and became a funnel for disinformation from the Hillary Clinton campaign.”
That includes a majority of Democrats – 55 percent – who answered “not surprised,” with 79 percent of Republicans concurring.

Tim Scott, the United States Senator from South Carolina, has officially announced his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, making him the sixth Republican to formerly run.
“Under President Biden, our nation is retreating away from patriotism,” Scott announced at his launch rally in South Carolina, adding, “We live in the land where it is absolutely possible for a kid raised in poverty in a single-parent household in a small apartment to one day serve in the People’s House and maybe even the White House.”
Scott’s aides have claimed that the Senator has raised upwards of $22 million for his campaign thus far, reports the New York Times, and will begin airing TV ads in Iowa and New Hampshire this week as part of a $5.5 million ad buy, scheduled to run until late August.
His campaign is expected to push for reduced government spending, reduced immigration, restricted access to abortion, and strong support for the Second Amendment.
Former President and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump announced upon the news of Scott’s campaign:
“Good luck to Senator Tim Scott in entering the Republican Presidential Primary Race. It is rapidly loading up with lots of people, and Tim is a big step up from Ron DeSanctimonious, who is totally unelectable. I got Opportunity Zones done with Tim, a big deal that has been highly successful. Good luck Tim!”
He wants as many people in as possible to carve up the anti-Trump vote. He also knows Tim Scott is unlikely to criticize him in any significant way. Scott joins the running-mate race. pic.twitter.com/WYI3vYIVoO

Just one percent separates Robert F. Kennedy Jr and President Joe Biden amongst the American public, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll quizzing likely voters over their Democratic primary preference. The data also reveals that one in five Democrats would prefer a Trump-Kennedy ticket over Biden-Harris.
Preferred Candidate.
Rasmussen Reports asked likely U.S. voters, “If the candidates for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination were Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Marianne Williamson, which candidate would you vote for?”
Respondents were split between Kennedy Jr. and Biden, with Kennedy Jr. receiving 35 percent and Joe Biden, already polling at historic lows as of May 2023, receiving just 36 percent. The third option, Marianna Williamson, received only six percent.
When broken down into party affiliation, Joe Biden remains the front-runner with 62 percent of Democratic support. Kennedy Jr., on the other hand, is supported by nearly one-in-five Democrats – 19 percent.
Yet, Kennedy Jr. would receive much wider bipartisan support, with 50 percent of Republicans and 36 percent of independent voters – four percent more than Biden.
Biden’s Rivals.
Rasmussen also asked voters their “impression” of both Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson. The results were positive for the Kennedy Jr. campaign.
More than half of Democrat voters – 53 percent – had either “very favorable” or “somewhat favorable” impressions of Kennedy Jr, with another 15 percent uncertain. Only 32 percent of Democrat voters have either a “very unfavorable” or “somewhat unfavorable” impression of him.
Marianne Williamson’s favorability is far lower with a combined 33 percent of Democrats having either a “very favorable” or “somewhat favorable” impression.
Trump-Kennedy vs. Biden-Harris?
Lastly, Rasmussen asked likely U.S. voters, “[i]f Donald Trump were to win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and choose Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his vice presidential running mate against President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, who would you vote for?”
The results were divided once again with both receiving a total of 44 percent. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of Republicans would favor Trump and Kennedy – 72 percent – and the exact same amount of Democrats would prefer Biden and Harris.
However, more Democrats – one in five – would consider voting for Trump and Kennedy over Biden and Harris. There are fewer Republicans – just 12 percent – who say they would vote for Biden and Harris.
