It's not yet the official announcement, but the closest to it: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has submitted the documents to the Federal Election Commission.
The official announcement will come in a conversation with Elon Musk and is expected tonight at 01:00 (Israel time). DeSantis is currently the only Republican candidate capable of competing with Donald Trump, who is leading in the polls. The 44-year-old Florida governor is one of the most outspoken opponents of progressive culture in the U.S., buying his world on the American right in part because he restricted the teaching of gender issues in Florida schools.

DeSantis, a Harvard graduate, wants to offer right-wing voters a younger, more "ironed" version of Trump. According to polls among Republicans, DeSantis is better off than other Trump opponents, such as former Governor Nikki Haley.
The announcement itself is expected at 01:00 (Israel time) on the night between Wednesday and Thursday, and will take place in a conversation with entrepreneur Elon Musk, who himself is waging an all-out war against the progressive left. The two will host "Spice" on Twitter - meaning they will conduct an audio conversation that will be broadcast to the whole world with the possibility of receiving questions from the audience.
