Ron DeSantis, 44, filed his formal candidacy for the 2024 presidential election on Wednesday. The Republican governor of Florida is seen as Donald Trump's main rival for the Republican nomination.

The winner of these primaries will face in November 2024 the candidate chosen by the Democratic Party, most likely Joe Biden. The main handicap of the conservative, father of three children, is a lack of charisma, pointed out on all sides by Donald Trump and his camp. "DeSantis desperately needs to have a personality transplant," Donald Trump mocked Wednesday morning.
