After DeSantis‘ campaign launch fiasco on Twitter, host Trey Gowdy mocked the Republican, saying: „Fox News will not crash during this interview.“
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made an attempt to save face after his 2024 presidential campaign kickoff on Twitter was marred by a slew of technical difficulties, causing an avalanche of jokes at the Republican’s expense.
DeSantis, whose announcement has been highly anticipated, formally announced his 2024 presidential campaign during a conversation on Twitter Spaces Wednesday evening with Twitter CEO Elon Musk and Craft Ventures co-founder David Sacks. The live-streamed event, however, was plagued with glitches, causing the social media app to crash multiple times in addition to echoes, deafening feedback and other mishaps within the first 20 minutes of the Twitter event.
The glitch-filled campaign launch was widely mocked on social media, where numerous Twitter users called the kickoff „a disaster“ and caused the hashtag #DeSaster to go viral. President Joe Biden even took a jab at DeSantis, as did his GOP rival former President Donald Trump.
