Ron DeSantis filed official paperwork Wednesday afternoon to run for president in 2024.
The much-anticipated run has now begun and is likely to lead to a ruthless battle between Florida Governor and former President Donald Trump as the two frontrunners battle for the Republican nomination.
DeSantis is expected to have a conversation on Twitter with its CEO Elon Musk later Wednesday evening after months of speculation that he would join.
Sources confirmed to DailyMail.com that the Florida governor will hold a Twitter Spaces with Musk on Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET to formally announce that he is entering the race to mount a showdown with Trump.

At 44, DeSantis is one of the younger candidates to bid for the Oval Office and is more than three decades younger than his main rival.
The long-anticipated start to the Republican campaign in the White House begins with a talk led by David Sacks, a tech entrepreneur close to Musk.
Musk confirmed Tuesday that he will interview DeSantis at the live audio-only event, adding that the governor “has quite an announcement to make,” but has no plans to endorse any particular candidate at this time.
Just 24 hours before the call with Musk, Florida first lady Casey DeSantis posted a video clip on Twitter previewing the launch.
A British narrator promoted a “brighter future” when a short video of Governor DeSantis appeared behind the scenes preparing to take the stage.
The video ended with a prompt for viewers to “text LAUNCH to 512345.”
DeSantis’ campaign will release a campaign video after his announcement on Wednesday — and then he is expected to tour the states early in the primary process after Memorial Day.
