Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will reportedly jump into the 2024 presidential race mid-May.

According to NBC News, DeSantis will launch his presidential exploratory committee in a couple weeks.

NBC News reported:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is poised to jump into the presidential fray as soon as mid-May, four GOP operatives familiar with the conversations told NBC News.

One of the sources emphasized that it would be an exploratory committee, with the official launch coming soon after.

Some of his backers are urging him to declare as early as May 11, in an effort to counter the creeping national narrative that former President Donald Trump is the overwhelming front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination. Others in the governor’s orbit, however, have argued that that date would be too soon, according to two of those sources. All emphasized, however, that mid-May is the target.

DeSantis, long viewed as Trump’s strongest Republican challenger in 2024, has traveled far outside Florida in recent weeks to raise his profile. But some of DeSantis’ allies have started to question his readiness as his poll numbers have lagged and he has fell victim of a series of self-inflicted wounds.

A new Premise poll of 1,509 registered voters conducted March 16–21 shows President Trump leading Ron DeSantis in a landslide 31 points in the primary.

DeSantis only leads Joe Biden by one point in the same poll for the General Election, and Trump gained one point over Biden from a recent poll conducted February 15-16.

Just last week, students at Whitworth University in Washington state objected to a talk from a woman who survived Mao’s communist revolution in China.

Now, students at Syracuse University in New York have objected to a talk from Yeonmi Park, who escaped from the communist nightmare of life in North Korea. They even called her a liar.

American college students are objecting to hearing from people who escaped real communism.

Part of the reason for this has to be that so many American college students have been brainwashed into believing that socialism/communism are some sort of left wing utopia.

Campus Reform reported:

Leftist students call North Korean defector Yeonmi Park a ‘liar,’ destroy fliers for her event at Syracuse

Leftist students at Syracuse University recently voiced opposition to an event featuring Yeonmi Park, a North Korean defector.

Ahead of the event hosted by the Syracuse College Republicans in partnership with Young America’s Foundation, students destroyed fliers and posted messages critical of Park and the College Republicans in an online forum.

Park, who delivered her speech on Apr. 5, “has criticized concepts like political correctness, trigger warnings and ‘woke culture’ in her career,” according to the student newspaper, The Daily Orange.

Photos obtained by Campus Reform show fliers for the event torn, thrown to the ground, or covered by other fliers.

In an online forum for Syracuse students, someone posted a photo of a torn flier. Underneath the photo, another user wrote, “The b**ch is a liar and a fraud.”

One post tells the forum to “[r]espect other people’s viewpoints.”

“I don’t respect people [who] are actively trying to take away my (and others [sic]) rights,” another user replies. “I don’t have to respect anyone.”

Yeonmi Park has seen life under Marxist rule, so the left goes crazy when she says things like this:

Normal day in Chicago!

This is what happens when Marxists run the city… https://t.co/A6ed0rK9DX

As a result, some people on the left will actually deny reality and history by claiming that she is a liar.

Our system of higher education has become leftist indoctrination and deserves most of the blame.
