Ron DeSantis is running for president. Is he Trump 2.0, or the Never Trump savior? In reality, the Florida governor’s career is full of opportunistic shifts toward whichever cause will benefit him most. With Ron DeSantis officially filing his paperwork to challenge Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination Wednesday, the media will be awash in attempts to explain who he “really” is. Is he an incipient authoritarian, or is he really just a typical Republican? In my view, he can be either depending on what’s in his interest at the time.

Their results reveal billions of years of previously hidden lunar history. Their results, which were published Aug. 7 in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, reveal billions of years of previously hidden lunar history.
