But this would not be the official kickoff event -- DeSantis' team is planning for him to hold that in his hometown of Dunedin, outside Tampa, sources said. One of the venues under consideration is a Little League baseball field, in a nod to DeSantis' childhood, according to the sources, but multiple settings are being looked at.
The kickoff event in Dunedin is tentatively planned to take place the week of Memorial Day. But sources cautioned that the details could still change, as previous plans for DeSantis' 2024 rollout have shifted throughout the year. Among the initial ideas was for DeSantis to tout his wins after the close of the current Florida Legislature session, throughout May and well into June, while holding off on formally announcing a 2024 run as long as possible, sources familiar have told ABC News.
