OPINION
Dear Friends,
This is just a brief column to mention Ron DeSantis’ official announcement as a candidate for President of the United States. Interestingly, he did it on Twitter and there was so much interest, Twitter’s servers crashed. Will DeSantis be able to close the gap between him and Trump with Trump, who has a 30-point lead according to the polls? Time will tell us. Please stay tuned.
As always, your comments are welcome and appreciated. What do you think about the contest at this point?
Sincerely yours,
JUDSON Bennett-Coastal Network
