Glitchy Twitter launch draws mockery, casts doubt on his viability as a presidential candidate. Read more at straitstimes.com.
WASHINGTON - Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ fledgling presidential campaign was looking to push forward on Thursday after a troubled online launch event drew mockery from his rivals and renewed doubts about his viability as a national candidate.
A “campaign kickoff” event will be held on Tuesday in Iowa, a state that may be critical to his presidential hopes. Its sizeable evangelical voting bloc at times has been cool on former Republican president Donald Trump, helping to hand him a defeat in 2016 in party caucuses. In a radio interview on Thursday with conservative commentator Erick Erickson, Mr DeSantis said the livestream of the event had now drawn more than five million listeners and that it had succeeded in creating “buzz” around his candidacy.
