DeSantis interview gets glitchy for the second straight day on the campaign trail

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis couldn’t get through a day on the campaign trail without technical issues, as his prime-time Newsmax interview froze Thursday night.

The moment comes after DeSantis’ Twitter Space chat with David Sacks and Elon Musk ran into trouble as he struggled to announce his 2024 presidential campaign.

“If you’re in Chicago or Baltimore, those kids are more likely to get shot than get a decent education,” DeSantis said before he and Bolling appeared motionless onscreen for nearly 20 seconds. .

Newsmax then posted a YouTube video of the interview in which it replaced the frozen visuals with an animated press release graphic they aired seconds earlier, except the network slowed down the animation to fix the errors. .

The glitches weren’t the only instances of head-scratching from DeSantis’ Newsmax interview. The Republican candidate said he had been “bright colors” and not a “pale pastel” in terms of political influence on Florida.
