Ron DeSantis just gave his first 2024 speech

The race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination may have already started last week, after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gave a speech declaring his state is the “freest” in the country from Covid-19 mandates. In the latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza analyzes DeSantis’ early 2024 jockeying and how one major factor stands in his way: former President Donald Trump.
