Mike Pompeo Withdraws from 2024 Presidential Race, While Ron DeSantis Appears to Be Preparing for a Run
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently announced that he will not be running for president in 2024, despite being mentioned as a potential contender. Pompeo cited personal reasons for his decision, but he also emphasized the importance of focusing on policies, not personalities, in the presidential race.
Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is emerging as a possible candidate for the Republican nomination. The Florida Republican Party has been paying approximately two dozen campaign employees for DeSantis’ 2022 campaign, including his former press secretary.
While DeSantis has not officially announced his candidacy for president, his actions suggest that he may be preparing for a run. He has hired campaign staff and is taking steps to boost his national profile.
It remains to be seen who will win the Republican nomination in 2024, but the race is already heating up. Republicans will need to choose a candidate who can offer real solutions to the problems facing our country and who can unite the party behind a common vision for the future.
