Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will formalize his candidacy in the race for the Republican Party nomination in the 2024 presidential election next week. According to some reports, the candidacy will be formalized on the 25th, timed to coincide with the meeting of sponsors in Miami. DeSantis’ entry into the race makes him the most direct rival to former President Donald Trump, who, despite all odds, is still the favorite of most Republicans. It should be noted that the revelation of another entry into the race for DeSantis came a day after he signed a law in Florida banning medical aids to encourage sex reassignment in young people, such as hormone blockers.
