Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced his campaign for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination on Wednesday, but was met with a barrage of insults and attacks from former President Donald Trump and other Republican figures. Nikki Haley called him an "echo" of Trump, while David Jolly and David Urban both commented that the announcement had become "humiliating." Despite DeSantis' vision of a "two-horse race" between him and Trump, the response to his announcement has been largely negative.
