Florida governor Ron DeSantis is expected to announce his 2024 presidential campaign by the end of May, US media has reported.
Despite being seen by many as a political ally to former president Donald Trump, DeSantis is expected to be the 45th president's main rival in the Republican primary race. The governor has started his unofficial presidential bid by visiting Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Trump had postponed a similar rally in Iowa over the weekend due to tornado warnings.
