The Federalist
•51% Informative
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced his presidential candidacy in a live Twitter event with Elon Musk and David Sacks on Wednesday night.
Julian Zelizer: The Florida governor had the chance to tell Americans his unfiltered opinions about issues such as the border crisis, woke corporatism, the threat of cancellation (financial or otherwise) to conservatives, digital currencies, and bureaucratic overreach.
Zelizer says it was more substantive than anything the propaganda press has produced about the GOP primary or its growing cast of candidates.
Trump and DeSantis are both wise to run their campaigns on their own terms, not the corporate media’s.
Whichever Republican ends up facing Joe Biden in 2024, he will need to be adept at cutting through dishonest media framing and flat-out lies if he hopes to reach voters who aren't on Twitter or Truth Social.
