the white house, when you talk to advisers on the team, even when advisers leave the white house, they are fully planning for the campaign, not just fully planning, there have been plans and an infrastructure bill over the course of the last several months in the lead up to an announcement that at this point seems inevitable. not just expected. that being said, president biden especially has not made the decision yet. he said so publicly. that s also been the case privately. everything that the presidents political team, his senior team, have been pushing towards, is that 2024 reelection campaign. you have seen it in the public messaging, the offense that he is attended in critical swing states to talk about his key agenda winds in the first two years, in places like arizona, georgia, pennsylvania. those are all not subtle. they re all very intentional and that is what we have seen publicly. you also saw the state of the union address, which really kind of brought together many of thos
months, but two years, that is really set the table for what lies ahead. infrastructure, to the democratic national committee millions of dollars rates. tens of millions of dollars to build out a state based organizations and all of those critical battleground states. all driving towards the moment the president announces his reelection. again, it s important caveat, the president has not said that. but they do not believe there is an urgency at this moment, despite the fact that they had been planning for potentially making an announcement this month. what they have seen over the course of these last couple of months, on the republican side, the slow build out of the republican field, the former president lackadaisical effort in the first few months of his own campaign. but also on the democrat side, the larger democratic national has coalesced behind the president. they re not trying to run against him. there s no urgency.
ron desantis, i can t speak to the finances of this university. it is double the amount perhaps this college has been under funded for many years since they left their central florida funding system. they have to lobby for their own dollars. they actually don t have huge budgets. so, they don t have a lot of money. apparently, they have a 15 million dollar request into the florida legislature. so, perhaps they will try to cobble that back in this will be a well funded position. what i know is, ron desantis, unlike you just saw this general election video, nikki haley s announcement for president ron desantis has this ability, as you said he is probably the best person and the republican party taking red meat issues for the base and is throwing red meat at them. it is crt. it is sending venezuelans to martha s vineyard. it is masks in covid.
