Wednesday's announcement comes in the wake of DeSantis' and likely will add to speculation that he plans a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. Former President Donald Trump has already and warned DeSantis that he will reveal information 鈥渢hat won鈥檛 be very flattering鈥� should the governor oppose him.
According to Broadside, DeSantis will cover everything from his childhood to his service in the Iraq War to his years as Florida governor, when he made opposition to COVID-19 restrictions and the fight against of his first term.
鈥淲hat Florida has done is establish a blueprint for governance that has produced tangible results while serving as a rebuke to the entrenched elites who have driven our nation into the ground. Florida is proof positive that we, the people are not powerless in the face of these elites," DeSantis writes in his book, according to Broadside.
