It's Official. Gov. Ron DeSantis Has Filed for Re-election

JUICE—Gov. Ron DeSantis has quietly filed to run for re-election and Democrats are beside themselves.

“Ron DeSantis just filed for re-election. I'm here to stop that,” stated AG Commissioner Nikki Fried. But how is she going to stop him from filing for re-election? Oh, she meant to stop him from winning, I guess. Whatever.

Rep. Charlie Crist didn’t go after Gov. DeSantis over his official entrance into the race. Instead, Rep. Crist continued his “DeSantis hates you because he won’t promote the vaccines” narrative.

Crist even thanked Sesame Street’s Big Bird for doing his part in getting vaccinated.

"Thank you @BigBird for doing your part to keep yourself and others healthy!”-Rep. Charlie Crist

What’s next?

Will Bert and Ernie be campaigning alongside Crist, and will the Cookie Monster (you know who you are) finally come out of his closet and hit the campaign trail too?

But with that said, news has broken that The Count, along with other Sesame Street cast members, broke ranks and was seen last week at the Governor’s mansion with the DeSantis’.

According to a source, The Count was counting down the days before DeSantis won re-election. READ MORE
