www.lex18.comI don’t have live-tracking access in this moment, but here’s a concise update based on widely reported timelines:
- 2024 campaign trajectory: Ron DeSantis launched his 2024 presidential bid in May 2023, filing with the FEC and building an early campaign infrastructure, with a focus on key early states like Iowa and New Hampshire. He suspended his campaign in January 2024 amid a crowded GOP field and then endorsed Donald Trump, effectively ending his bid at that time.
