To achieve this, the DeSantis campaign has made the decision to part ways with a small number of staffers, mainly from the event-planning team. The campaign believes that this move will enhance DeSantis’s prospects and energize his campaign as he seeks to reverse what they view as Biden’s countless failures and bring some much-needed sanity back to our nation.
According to campaign spokesperson Andrew Romeo, who also verified the staff departures, Americans are rallying behind Ron DeSantis and his plan to restore our country. Romeo points out that as voters see more of DeSantis in person, especially in states like Iowa, his momentum will only continue to grow. It is clear that the campaign is confident in DeSantis’s ability to overcome Biden and the significant financial support behind him.
In another development, it has been reported that two senior advisors for DeSantis’s presidential campaign, Tucker Obenshain and Dave Abrams, will be leaving to lend their expertise to a political nonprofit aimed at drumming up support for the governor. This move further underscores their belief in DeSantis’s chances and the importance of building a strong movement behind him.
While there have been some concerns about the pace of DeSantis’s campaign, there is no denying his ability to raise funds. In just six weeks, he managed to raise an impressive $20 million in the second quarter, setting a record for a non-incumbent Republican candidate. However, despite this feat, DeSantis still trails behind former President Trump in Republican primary polling. Trump’s campaign recently reported raising over $35 million in the same period.
Nevertheless, DeSantis is undeterred and is focusing his attention on early primary and caucus states, particularly Iowa. His campaign has capitalized on the opportunity presented by Trump’s recent activities in the state, and DeSantis has been actively campaigning there for the past two days. The campaign believes that this strategic move will only bolster DeSantis’s chances of securing the nomination.
In a related development, DeSantis has expressed his openness to considering Republican Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds as a potential running mate in the 2024 election. This comes after Trump publicly criticized Reynolds for not showing enough loyalty to him during the GOP primaries. DeSantis stood up for Reynolds, stating that any Republican who denigrates her is completely off base. This move not only solidifies DeSantis’s support among Republicans, but it also highlights his ability to build strong alliances and relationships within the party.
As the 2024 presidential race heats up, it is clear that Ron DeSantis is a force to be reckoned with. His determination, fundraising prowess, and ability to connect with voters in key states make him a formidable contender. As the campaign progresses, it will be interesting to see how DeSantis continues to navigate the challenges ahead and build on his already impressive support base.
