Biden taunts DeSantis for problems launching on Twitter in 2024

On Wednesday, President Biden mocked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (Republican) for launching a troubled presidential campaign. He tried to talk about his own candidacy on his Twitter space, but it was marred by technical issues.

Biden posted on his Twitter account, “THIS LINK WORKS,” with a link to a campaign donation page.

The tweet comes amid audio issues in a conversation DeSantis was supposed to discuss with Twitter CEO Elon Musk about his new campaign. DeSantis and Musk were scheduled to speak on the Twitter space, which was watched by hundreds of thousands of people.

However, the audio cuts out repeatedly, leaving no one audible for more than a few seconds at a time.

David Sachs, who was moderating the conversation, was heard saying at one point the number of listeners was “melting the servers.”

Mr. DeSantis’s rivals had already questioned why the governor would make the announcement on Twitter Space, and were quick to widely mock the issues surrounding the launch.

Shortly before Twitter Spaces launched, DeSantis released a video. formally announce his candidacy for the president.
