out of the gate. so what we know is he will sit down with elon musk tomorrow and talk through some of this. elon musk confirming that today, but stopping short of endorsing him in any way or saying that he has plans to endorse. so all eyes will turn to that, also here to miami, where he is going to gather his donors to talk to them about his presidential bid and really try to maximize this moment. again, going back to what his team wants. they want to go on the offensive. they want a big blitz coming out of this announcement. they want a lot of media attention and also money. they want to really have a strong showing with millions and millions of dollars right out of the gate so that s what you can bet they ll be leaning on their d donors to do then move toward the next phase of the campaign. jessica, so the event in twitter spaces is 6:00 p.m. eastern tomorrow, i believe. what is desantis going to do after that? right. so after that, we look ahead to next weekend. ....
Him back in a way? i think it s hard to say. obviously, elon would probably love for trump to be back on the platform. i also see this potentially could make trump more resistance to come back to the platform. his main competitor is going to do this twitter space. it seems he is marking that territory for himself and maybe he doesn t want to come paback d fight that battle there. and jeff, we can t ignore the fact that ron desantis has emerged as really taking on some very controversial positions. a six-week abortion ban. six weeks is before a lot of people even know they re pregnant. really targeting the trans community in a very, very aggressive way. you know, getting a lot of african americans very upset with the way he treats the ap course, et cetera. he s really leaned into the culture wars. ....

So after that, we look ahead to next weekend. you mentioned a lot of candidates mostly announce with a big formal announcement in a speech maybe in their hometown. we are expecting that will be the case in the week to follow. that we ll see a more traditional speech in person from him with a crowd. perhaps in his hometown here in florida. that he will do that. then we re expecting him to really hit the trail hard. again, this is a place where his team thinks he can really differentiate himself from especially two key rivals. president biden and former president trump. they re both much older than governor desantis. that s where they think they can really contrast the younger governor. really going at a quick, fast pace and we expect to see a lot o of that in the weeks to come. here to discuss, jeff szelln ....
