'Frightening for democracy': Ron DeSantis starts his run for American presidency

DeSantis put in his paperwork and was to publicly begin his long-trailed campaign in conversation with Elon Musk on Twitter, followed by an interview on Fox News. The governor is expected to hit the campaign trail after the Memorial Day weekend, with visits to early voting states.

One prominent Florida Democratic congressman told the Guardian a De Santis campaign "should frighten anyone who values democracy, voting rights, civil rights, freedom and the pursuit of happiness".

In preparation for the campaign to be the Republican nominee, DeSantis's website switched to a sinister image of an alligator lurking in dark water against a black background.

The implication of such a distinctly Floridian flourish might have been that DeSantis would soon emerge to attack Trump and drag him into the swamp of a truly competitive Republican primary race.
