DeSantis may yet declare - https://www.clubforgrowth.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/CfGAction_2024_Primary_PollSummary_221114.pdf - so with luck the Republicans may tear themselves apart with a bruising fight over the nomination.

There's no certainty the missile was Russian fired- the Ukranians use the same model, the R360 and were firing at Russian incoming at the time so it could have been a simple accident.

Morning news -- trajectory suggests this was an air-defense missile fired from within Ukraine. Stay tuned . . .
