Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is recalibrating his strategy and messaging amid signs that his presidential ambitions may be faltering before his campaign even gets off the ground.
DeSantis began the year with clear momentum in the nascent GOP presidential primary, topping former President Trump in head-to-head polling and drawing unparalleled interest from Republican voters and operatives eager to see a fresh face at the helm of the party.
But there are signs that his momentum may be stalling: he’s faced weeks of relentless attacks from Trump and his allies, fellow Republicans have criticized him for dubbing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “a territorial dispute” and some recent polls have shown his support in a hypothetical GOP primary slipping.
“I think for all the fanfare about DeSantis, there’s still a lot of stuff he needs to work on,” said one Republican strategist, who plans to back the Florida governor in the 2024 primary if he runs. “That’s normal when you’re exploring this kind of thing. But I think he needs to rethink things a little bit.”
To some degree, that already appears to be happening.

If Trump doesn’t get the Republican nomination I will not be voting for DeSantis or any other GOPe snake because I’m tired of eating their sh!t sandwich’s.
I don’t call you stupid, but I am about ready to.
Deal with it, he simply blew his cool. Maybe he can learn. He's got time.
Right now he's on a losing streak.
He showed he will get eaten alive if he runs.
You can stop with the ad hominem any time and deal with what happened last week and how he looked so weak.
Instead you go for insulting posters who disagree with you.
desantis didn’t get to be florida governor with trump’s help...
i agree desantis needs to finish his second term as florida governor...
i don’t agree with people acting like hypocrites and trashing desantis for doing what’s right...
Ya can’t own businesses all over the world and create a planet wide empire without filing some bankruptcies along the way.
You must be a shut in. You should get out more.
Nope. Not as long as no-excuse-cheat-by-mail-in ballots without signature checks are allowed. They were still in full force in 2022 against Kari Lake and the legislatures/governors of these states have either gone blue or are on the brink of going blue.
All of this was brought to you courtesy of RINO-controlled state legislatures in 2020 who did nothing to stop cheat-by-mail-in ballots. They were happy to let Dems steal it as long as Orange Man Bad was kicked out of office.
What has he done that is right that I am trashing him for. Huh, please tell me.
None of it matters if nothing is done about no-excuse-cheat-by-mail-in ballots with zero signature checks.
i own an automotive restoration shop...
you should get out more...
Trump has 2 failed marriages?
So what?
You want a perfect human for president, go find one you leftist quack.
Sure seems like NBC and the Hill seem to want Trump in the General. Wonder why.
Yep. If you’re going to model milquetoast Mitt, don’t expect my vote.
Then Biden gets another 4 years.
thank you for proving you refuse to educate yourself...
our conversation is over...
What strategy?
Psst. There were no unforced errors. He’s not even I the race with Trump yet and only a few points behind in a two man race. That’s against a former president. He’s in a good spot.
thank you for proving your a leftist quack with your attempt to excerpt my post to your advantage...
No it isn’t because you did not answer my question. The reason is that you cannot answer my question.
Isn’t that right, Mr Educate yourself? Are you always this childish?
Lol .
Versus Trump just another Sleazy six time bankrupt twice married NY Serial Spouse Cheating Developer Narcissist with close ties social and financial to George Soros .
I will stick with Desantis .
