Tim Scott (R-S.C.) just getting into the race on Monday, other contenders searching for traction \u2014 and speculation mounting about a possible surprise entry by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R).<\/p>\n<p>Here are the key takeaways from one of the 2024 campaign\u2019s biggest nights to date.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Twitters_tech_misfire_undermines_DeSantiss_central_case\"><\/span><strong>Twitter\u2019s tech misfire undermines DeSantis\u2019s central case.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The keystone of DeSantis\u2019s launch was intended to be the Twitter Spaces event.<\/p>\n<p>Praised beforehand as innovative, it turned out to be disastrous.<\/p>\n<p>It was beset with technical difficulties from the start. Many users reported being unable to log onto the event, and those who did had to struggle with audio that was interrupted, garbled, or dropped out entirely.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>For those who were able to listen live, the event turned into a cringe-fest.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, a voice that appeared to be that of moderator David Sacks plaintively claimed: \u201cWe are kind of melting the servers, which is a good sign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the minutes ticked by, Musk\u2019s voice materialized to declare it \u201can incredible honor\u201d for DeSantis to make his \u201chistoric announcement\u201d on Twitter \u2014 after which the audio immediately crashed again.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>On one hand, even an embarrassment on the scale that DeSantis suffered on Wednesday night isn\u2019t politically fatal.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s worth remembering that the governor\u2019s central case is that he is a more competent and effective rival to the purportedly more chaotic Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The Wednesday night debacle administer a deep, self-inflicted wound to that case.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cRon\u2019s Desaster\u201d was the online headline on the Daily Mail\u2019s website. \u201cDon\u2019t say glitch \u2014 DeSantis Jumpy Start,\u201d blared the Drudge Report. Conservative <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> site Breitbart proclaimed, \u201cTwitter launch DeBacle for DeSantis.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trump_and_Biden_united_for_once_%E2%80%94_in_gloating\"><\/span><strong>Trump and Biden united for once \u2014 in gloating<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019s epic misfire achieved one unusual feat \u2014 putting President Biden and former President Trump on the same page.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Team Biden nor Team Trump was going to let pass such a golden opportunity to capitalize on DeSantis\u2019s misfortune.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Biden, characteristically, opted for a milder approach.<\/p>\n<p>His official Twitter account posted a link where supporters could give to his reelection campaign, drily adding, \u201cThis link works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who had been sniping at DeSantis in the hours before the Florida governor\u2019s launch, wrote on TruthSocial:\u00a0\u201c\u2018Rob,\u2019 My Red Button is bigger, better, stronger, and is working (TRUTH!), yours does not! (per my conversation with Kim Jung Un, of North Korea, soon to become my friend!)..\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>A short time later, Trump followed up with:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWow! The DeSanctus TWITTER launch is a DISASTER! His whole campaign will be a disaster. WATCH!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Such rhetoric is par for the course for Trump. But it must be galling for the DeSantis campaign to have given the former president such powerful ammunition.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_great_night_for_the_other_%E2%80%9Cnot-Trump%E2%80%9D_candidates\"><\/span><strong>A great night for the other \u201cnot-Trump\u201d candidates<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Republican candidates who hope to position themselves as alternatives to Trump were the other big winners on Wednesday. That\u2019s true of declared candidates but also of those who are weighing whether to enter the race.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For months, those other \u201cnot-Trump\u201d names have had to watch polls that showed DeSantis to be the former president\u2019s most serious potential challenger \u2014 usually by some distance.<\/p>\n<p>The messiness of DeSantis\u2019s campaign launch cracks the door wider open for others.<\/p>\n<p>Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley had released an ad on Wednesday morning attacking DeSantis as a pale copy of Trump and arguing that voters deserved \u201ca choice, not an echo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amid DeSantis\u2019s Twitter meltdown, Haley\u2019s press secretary tweeted a reminder of her smooth mid-February campaign launch and expressed pride about the vigor with which she had \u201cjumped into the arena.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One Tim Scott aide mockingly suggested he was going to make a \u201cvery special announcement\u2026on AIM.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a mild-mannered, long-shot candidate, got in on the act, tweeting a fundraising link and saying, \u201cJust like my policies, this link works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But there is also one more intriguing beneficiary: Youngkin.<\/p>\n<p>The Virginia governor had appeared to rule out a 2024 bid a few weeks ago. But that seems to have shifted somewhat. There is chatter about GOP donors being newly interested in Youngkin as DeSantis has\u00a0faltered. Youngkin released an ad just last week that was notably presidential in tenor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday night\u2019s DeSantis flop will surely increase the clamor for Youngkin among some conservatives.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DeSantis_tries_to_repair_the_damage_on_Fox_News\"><\/span><strong>DeSantis tries to repair the damage on Fox News<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>DeSantis at least had a prompt opportunity to repair some of the damage from Twitter. Within about an hour, he was on Fox News for a long, primetime interview with Trey Gowdy, a former GOP congressman from South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>On Fox, DeSantis hit all the notes expected, with no technical troubles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He talked about his own landslide win in his reelection fight last November, insisted that he had \u201cunprecedented policy success,\u201d and attacked Biden as a \u201clistless vessel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He hit out at another favorite target too: \u201cThe \u2018woke\u2019 mind virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The polished DeSantis performance on Fox might win back some lost ground. After all, though TV ratings are not instantly available, the same hour on Fox News the previous night had more than 1.4 million viewers \u2014 a far bigger audience than the audio-only Twitter Spaces event with Musk on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>But even on Fox, DeSantis has to glancingly acknowledge the embarrassment of what had occurred earlier.<\/p>\n<p>As he appealed for donations through his website, he added, \u201cMaybe we can break that part of the internet as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DeSantis_bad_stumble_comes_at_the_start_of_a_marathon\"><\/span><strong>DeSantis bad stumble comes at the start of a marathon<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bad as Wednesday was for DeSantis, it\u2019s important to keep some perspective.<\/p>\n<p>A moment as dramatic as the Twitter Spaces misfire seems far bigger now than it will even next month.<\/p>\n<p>The first GOP debate is not scheduled until August. The date of the Iowa GOP caucuses has not even been set yet.<\/p>\n<p>Everything can change between now and early next year. Other candidates may rise and fall. DeSantis will have better moments. Trump\u2019s legal troubles aren\u2019t going away.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis stumbled badly on Wednesday \u2014 but he did so at the starting line of a marathon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
