presidential nomination, with two more hopefuls officially launching their bids the florida governor, ron desantis and senator, tim scott. mr scott has represented south carolina in the chamber since 2013, promising to revive america s culture of greatness . at a launch event in his hometown of north charleston on monday, mr scott used his personal story as an embodiment of the american dream. this was shortly followed by ron desantis long expected entry into the race and, while he trails donald trump in the polls, he is widely seen as his main rival. but his launch made headlines for other reasons. he chose to announce on a twitter livestream, which was hit by technical glitches. let s listen to how they both announced their candidacy. i am running for president of the united states to lead our great american comeback. look, we know our country is going in the wrong direction. we see it with our eyes, and we feel it in our bones. our southern border has collapsed. drugs
so i say people will take an honest look at desantis, he is 33 years younger than trump. that is a big deal, 44 years of age for ron desantis. i have heard lots made from people saying, could this be a mitt romney and paul ryan situation, like 2012 where desantis ends up trump s running mate? i don t think so. i think the two men really don t like each other anymore. one thing we ought to look at is that trump seems to call names when he is really scared. his super pac has spent lots of money attacking only desantis. at the end of the day you have to look at this for what it is. desantis is in the underdog position. so he has only up to go from here. really interesting points. we are going to come back to you in just a little bit, lots more to talk about, but first, let s take a look at the latest stuff here in washington, dc.
