Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) officially filed paperwork to run for president hours before his official announcement, which is expected to take place during a conversation on Twitter with Elon Musk Wednesday evening.

DeSantis filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) ahead of the suspected announcement on Wednesday.

Breitbart News confirmed reports of Wednesday’s forthcoming announcement on Tuesday, as a source familiar with the governor’s plans confirmed a Fox News report detailing DeSantis’s plans to officially unveil his political intentions on Wednesday at 6 p.m. Eastern during a conversation with Elon Musk.

The governor’s wife, Casey DeSantis, also teased the announcement and shared what appeared to be a campaign video.

The moves come after months of speculation on the governor’s political aspirations. Former President Donald Trump began criticizing the governor in November and continued his line of attack on Wednesday, deeming the governor a “disloyal” person.
