FL Governor DeSantis announces Presidential run via Twitter to over half a million live viewers
Republican Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, is officially running for president of the United States. DeSantis took the unique approach to announce his bid for the 2024 presidential election at 6 p.m. ET during an online Twitter event hosted by the Twitter CEO himself, Elon Musk.
DeSantis told the nation to “buckle up” and prepare for “our great American comeback.” The event began roughly 30 minutes late, as the streaming “feed struggled under the weight of more than a half million users” writes National Review. “As the event launched, Musk and Sacks could be heard talking about their servers ‘melting’ and ‘straining.’ The audio feed went in and out and sounded distorted at times.”
“I am running for president of the United States to lead our great American comeback,” DeSantis began in his interview with Musk and tech entrepreneur David Sacks.
“We know our country is going in the wrong direction. We see it with our eyes and we feel it in our bones,” he said, listing national woes, including the border crisis and spiking crime. He took a swipe at President Joe Biden, saying the 80-year-old “lacks vigor” and “flounders in the face of our nation’s challenges, and he takes his cues from the woke mob.”
“American decline is not inevitable. It’s a choice,” DeSantis said, calling for a restoration of sanity to the nation, including fiscal and economic sanity. “This also means replacing the woke mind virus with reality, facts, and enduring principles.”

Oprah’s Scare Tactic: If Women Don’t Vote For Harris, May Not Have Opportunity to ‘Ever Cast a Ballot Again’
It was the threat of the century when billionaire Oprah Winfrey spoke at the Kamala Harris rally the night before election day. The television mogul told women at the Philadelphia rally late Monday night that if they don’t show up and vote for Kamala Harris today, they may never ever have the chance to vote again in their lifetimes.
Winfrey told the audience a story about when she was hiking on Sunday and met a woman named Angela. Allegedly Angela told Winfrey she had decided not to vote in this election.
Oprah said she told Angela, “We don’t get to sit this one out. If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.”
Winfrey also said if women did not make sure the people in their lives could get to the polls, “that is a mistake.”
“Deciding not to decide that is most definitely a vote to let other people control your future,” she continued.
She said about Harris before introducing singer Will.I.Am, “She sees us, and she will do her mighty best to serve all of us. I believe we can do that, and I know she can do that, yes she can, yes she can, yes she can, and to say it and sing it and drive that message home.”
Singer Katy Perry also performed at the Harris rally and told the audience that she had a baby four years ago and believes Kamala Harris has her daughter’s best interests at heart and will protect her.
