Ron DeSantis’ 2024 presidential bid announcement plagued by technical glitch

Ending months of speculation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis finally launched his bid for the 2024 US presidential election on Twitter, but the live stream event was delayed following a technical glitch.

Wednesday’s livestream event was held on Twitter Spaces and hosted by the platform’s outgoing CEO Elon Musk and David Sacks — a tech entrepreneur and major political donor who contributed just over $70,000 to the 44-year-old Republican Governor’s political committee in 2021.

Twitter Spaces is a platform that allows “creators” to host live audio conversations that other users can join and engage with.
