Ron DeSantis ' entry into the 2024 White House race against former President Donald Trump sets up a clash of the Republican Party's two leading figures as the Florida governor attempts to topple a man who has dominated the GOP for the last seven years.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, 44, is entering the presidential race. His wife Casey posted a video on Twitter that launched his campaign.

DeSantis has been considered Donald Trump's main rival for the Republican Party's presidential nomination. The former president calls his running mate "Ron DeSanctimonius".

Since the polls closed in Turkey on Sunday, there have been many desperate messages from acquaintances and friends in the country who cannot stand the idea of another five years of authoritarianism and oppression. They had believed, especially after the deadly earthquakes in southeastern Turkey, that the opposition would win the elections. Reality crushed them.

A special prosecutor found that the FBI rushed into its investigation of ties between Russia and Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and relied too much on raw and unconfirmed intelligence as he concluded a four-year probe that fell far short of the former president's prediction that the "crime of the century" would be uncovered.

Recent polls suggest that 60 percent of Americans don't want Donald Trump to run for president in 2024, and 70 percent say President Joe Biden shouldn't run. Just 42 percent of Americans think Biden is performing well as president. At the same point during his administration, Trump's rating stood at 38 percent. In 2016, Trump became the oldest person ever to win the White House.

A jury in New York City is set to begin deliberations Tuesday in a civil trial over advice columnist E. Jean Carroll's claims that Donald Trump raped her in a luxury Manhattan department store in 1996.

US President Joe Biden's approval rating has hit a career low, according to a recent poll by the Washington Post and ABC.

The survey also shows that more Americans doubt his mental acuity, and support for him is significantly lower than four years ago.

A video of sworn testimony given by former president Donald Trump in a US rape and defamation lawsuit against him was made public Friday.

The footage, some of which was aired in court this week, shows Trump being asked about his infamous comments in the "Access Hollywood" tape leaked before the 2016 election.

Donald Trump 's lawyers have asked a federal court to take control of his New York City criminal case. They argued Thursday that the former president can't be tried in the state court where his historic indictment was brought because the alleged conduct occurred while he was in office.

It is not a good sign for the strongest Western democracy that in 2024 an 81-year-old and a 77-year-old may be the two rivals for the presidency. It shows the inability of the American system to look for new, dynamic leadership that can inspire Americans and the West. The US establishment was able to discover a John F. Kennedy, a (not young but still dynamic) Ronald Reagan, and a Bill Clinton.
