Ron DeSantis’s book, ‘The Courage to Be Free,’ Amazon #1 bestseller on first day

While much of the political world is convinced that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is running for president, the popular Republican has yet to declare such ambitions.

Currently on a media tour to promote his new book, “The Courage to Be Free,” DeSantis has earned yet another headline — his tome hit No. 1 on the Top 100 list of Amazon on the first day of its release, which may be more than some of his critics can take.

As for the background noise, here’s a quick sampling of critics’ responses to his No. 1 book from Twitter:
