www.lex18.comI don’t have live tool access right now to pull the very latest updates. Here’s a concise summary based on well-known events from 2023–2024 and typical campaign timelines for DeSantis:
- The DeSantis 2024 presidential bid launched in May 2023, with an official filing to establish candidacy and a high-profile kickoff event planned in Miami, followed by broader rollout in key early primary states .
- He ultimately suspended his campaign in January 2024, endorsing Donald Trump, effectively ending his bid for the 2024 GOP nomination at that time .
- After suspension, there was continued discussion about his future political plans, and as of 2024–2025, there was no sustained resumption of a formal 2024 campaign. For 2025–2026, any new formal bid would be covered by major outlets and campaign finance filings as the 2026 cycle approaches .
