Ron DeSantis allies press for a campaign shake-up

Generra Peck, DeSantis’ top aide, is “hanging by a thread,” said a DeSantis donor who is close to the campaign.

“It is the chatter among donors, and it extends beyond the first rung of the bundler class. Money people are losing confidence quickly,” a DeSantis money-bundler said. “It’s time for that kind of change. It’s time for a shake-up at the top.”

“Governor DeSantis and Casey very much support her. I wouldn’t say it’s never going to happen, but right now her job is safe,” the DeSantis ally said.

Phil Cox, former exec director RGA returned to the inner circle this month.

Peck, who guided DeSantis’ successful run for a second term as governor last year, has no experience as a presidential campaign manager and has overseen a widely criticized launch that has led some donors to pause giving money to the operation and its sister super PAC, Never Back Down.

So the big shakeup and refocusing of team desantis...

is to keep the same person in charge who isn't bringing in results, and bring back a prior advisor who was a former executive director of the republican governors association and swamp GOPe connection.

He should have begun with cosmetic surgery to make him look handsomer than Newsom.

Then hire celebrities with the most social media likes.

I’m no campaign expert, but I don’t think a big shake up a couple months into the start of your campaigning is going to inspire confidence either.

I really like Desantis.

I really wish he just stayed out. He was on top of the world. MAGA would have ordained him for ‘28.

Now MAGA isn’t his friend, and he’s likely Ted Cruzed himself.

I have no idea if this article is true or not, let’s look at is happening in the MSM with regards to Trump and DeSantis.

For DeSantis it’s he’s not living up to expectations, his money is falling off, he’s shaking up his campaign, etc..

For Trump it’s he’s losing faith in a number of his key supporters, Kayleigh McEnany, Kari Lake, Sarah Sanders, and others.

Meanwhile Biden is falling asleep in public meetings with Heads of State, RFK Jr. is cutting into his support and today RFK Jr. was treated like trash in a congressional meeting, what do you hear from MSM nothing. Major crimes by Biden and members of his family are getting exposed daily, the FBI and DOJ are specifically targeting their political opposition.

It’s all meant to create perceived chaos in the Republican Party and complete calm in the Democratic Party.

Christie won’t play well outside the northeast. I saw him, Rubio and Cruz in person at the GA state Republican convention in the 2016 election cycle. Christie gave the best talk. It dis not translate into votes.

He's hated in New Jersey. Left office with the lowest approval rating of any governor, ever.

Generra Peck should have never been hired. She has never run a campaign and she is a professional lobbyist by trade.

You can purchase bolt after bolt of a certain material and make a fancy suit out of it.

Nobody is buying the suit, so you figure it is the style they don’t like, so you change the look and put it out no the sales floor. Still nobody wants the suit.

You ask your self why can’t this suit sell?

The problem wasn’t the style, it was always the material. Nobody liked what the suit was made of. It just wasn’t what people liked.

Oh! That Kristie! Well, she hasn’t announced yet. Not great on the trans business, but solid on covid response
