Gov. Ron DeSantis

Everybody’s (nobody’s) favorite “meatball” DeSantis is being similarly targeted by bots, despite him not officially announcing his candidacy for president. In Twitter conversations surrounding the Florida governor, 15% of those tweets regarding him, Trump and the 2024 election contained bots. Even more curious, nearly 70% of those fake profiles were promoting that DeSantis should instead shack up with Trump as his running mate, rather than going it alone.
