It’s been “on” for a while, but Donald Trump fired the first shot in his 2024 competition with Ron DeSantis by calling him “Ron DeSanctimonious” at a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend.

Rumored to be contemplating an announcement as soon as next week, Trump is obviously the front-runner for the nomination. Depending on his general-election opponent and the circumstances, he’d probably have something like a 50/50 shot to win the presidency again.
