I don’t think this is “new”. What is happening with DeSantis reminds me of what happened with Scott Walker (Gov-R in Wisconsin). He was a very effective Governor and, on paper, should have been a lot more competitive when he ran for President in 2016. However, he was running against Trump and his campaign just when nowhere and he quickly faded in obscurity.

He says he's been getting a lot of attacks from desantis supporters, some who he calls friends, for saying the desantis campaign is failing
“[DeSantis] is maybe the first candidate that became less popular when he ran for office. “
Also true of Hillary. She was most popular on day one of her campaigns.
Desantis was an absolute fool to run this cycle…
His campaign message has to be the worst I have ever seen.
Hey everyone, I’m just like that guy you all really like and want, and who is also running, but I am somehow better, so vote for me…
WTF campaign messaging is that?!?
Desantis has shown himself a fool with this run.. absolutely and completely misread the situation in every level… and now has effectively gone from almost certainly the 2028 gop front runner to never ever having any shot at nationally elected office.
“DeSantis is maybe the first candidate that became less popular when he ran for office.”
One could argue that Jeb could give him a run, but still, DeSantis was popular for good reasons, what he did in Florida, while Jeb was ‘popular’ because his last name rang a bell.
His campaign is too busy building a war chest with big donors rather than building relationships with voters. They aren’t even trying to go after the traditional, motivated Republican donor. It’s sad to see such a promising young leader being advised so poorly.
