legal system just as the GOP primary intensifies, is leaving precious little oxygen for his rivals to break through. But that baggage, playing out in the U.S. “But at the end of the day, they’re still better positioned than any other challenger to Donald Trump, times 10.”ĭeSantis’ team has quietly expressed confidence for months that voters would eventually tire of Trump’s escalating legal troubles and personal baggage. It’s clear it needs to,” said Republican strategist Terry Sullivan, who managed Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Just two months after entering the race, DeSantis already has been cutting staff while facing new questions about his aggressive spending, his media strategy and his apparent willingness to brawl with any and all foes except for Trump, the one person he must defeat to claim the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination. He was in Utah over the weekend holding fundraisers and in New York last week for an event in the Hamptons. The Republican candidate has been attending a string of fundraisers lately as his campaign has faced some surprising financial pressures. Hosts for the fundraiser were to pay $10,000 per couple for the event, while co-hosts were paying $5,000 and other attendees were paying $2,000 each, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press.ĭeSantis was expected to attend additional fundraisers on Tuesday in Knoxville and Franklin. The Florida governor, who has trailed front-runner Donald Trump in the GOP presidential contest, was expected to be at a fundraiser at a private home in Chattanooga on Tuesday.
