Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis essentially launched his 2024 presidential campaign Tuesday night. In no uncertain terms, this is his moment.

Back in 2018, DeSantis barely defeated Democratic nominee Andrew Gillum — a man who would later be found in a hotel room in Miami Beach with a male escort suffering from a drug overdose. DeSantis beat Gillum by a mere 0.4%, amounting to just over 32,000 votes.
