DeSantis campaign officials tell NBC News that there be a shift to less of a Florida focus, more lean events and an insurgent approach.
Expect fewer big speeches and more handshaking in diners and churches.
There will be more of a national focus than constant Florida references.
Campaign filings show that the DeSantis campaign needs to figure out how to bring in more money and spend less. It fired roughly a dozen staffers last week. Donors and allies are pressing for a change. The poll numbers are stagnant. And rival GOP presidential candidates are smelling blood in the water.
“Downright low” is how a source who was present when the staffers were fired described morale these days.
The layoffs shook the campaign. The source in the room that day said a lawyer and senior staff member — not Peck — went around the office and dryly notified employees they were being let go, thanking them for their service and telling them they needed to leave by 2 p.m. that day. The fired staffers were told someone would follow up with them in the coming days.

Oh, there you are. I was worried you might be curled up in a fetal position, since your superhero isn’t doing so hot.
Same Old fabulist S prophecies, so I guess you’re OK. That’s good news. :-)
>> Nothing about DeSantis jettisoning his Botox Babe.
Did he actually cut her loose? I heard a rumor but not confirmed at the time.
Reboots and re-introductions are never good signs in a political campaign.
DS seems to have become the 2024 Scott Walker.
Too many see DS as moving toward the establishment GOP.
How's that go again?
Well, let's look back to 2018 where we can see that it mostly goes with Democrats winning elections then and in every election since.
Feel free to bookmark this post. Hopefully, you can come back and serve me a plate of crow. I'll gladly eat it.
I doubt this will happen.
Well said and You said it better than me!
Thank you and agree!
Make America Florida didn’t work? I must say I’m shocked!

LOL....
That’s a good one!
They had just announced how they were going to do a re-launch a few days ago.
I guess someone talked some sense into desantis, that they were running out of money and couldn/t substain the burn rate they had.
The article notes they plan to do more events with the neverbackdown super pac, but the problem with that is, it’s against FEC regulations to be talking and planning events with each other.
Not much of a fan. Gets a lot of credit for what the legislature does, unlike Pres Trump who was hated by congress and had to do it alone, for the most part.
That being said, support Pres Trump, get a nice Cabinet position(AG SecDef SOS) and then grab the baton in 2028.
Nope. Has to listen to the puppet masters and be used. Oh well.
Futile. I love it when RINO’s waste millions on guys like this.
My governor is Yeb! 2.0. He has no presence. Lacks the ability to connect. This is the exact reason he was getting his arse kicked by a Leftists, homosexual, drug-addicted, nobody mayor until President Trump rode to his rescue.
And, how does he repay President Trump? By running against him because RINO Globalists are throwing cash at him.
Not the kind of man we need. Not the kind of man that will benefit our country. Just another bought and paid-for Lawyer/Politician. Just another Peter Principle wannabe.
Casey is a big problem, but I think dumping his wife won’t help his “family values” positioning.
Me too. He shoulda partnered with Trump and THEN ran for Prez in 2028.
DeSantis has always struck me as inauthentic as a speaker and the campaign has alienated me. I’m still looking for my alternative to Trump who is off his game as well. It’s really being upset at the weaponization of justice that keeps me in Trump’s corner.
notice how most of those dem wins happened by trickle in ballot totals days or weeks later?
interesting how you are accepting of results that appear or even have some evidence of fraud, not once but repeatedly, over years.
Ron is NOT fine!
The very day he was re-elected Governor we, the hard working folks who campaigned for him, was told he is running for President!
What a kick in the teeth!
Haven’t liked him since!
title makes me think he’s kicking himself in the a** and still no spark. govt employee too many years already. get a real job Ron. learn a thing or two, not just being a greedy govt tool in the system that is so corrupt.
I feel the same way about him. My preference is Trump but I would vote for DeSantis if he is the nominee.
However, if any of the others get the nod, not only no but hell no. Of course, maybe I would vote for Vivek. He says good things but I don’t know a lot about him yet.
A rerereboot!
A reboot? Sounds a bit similar to Ukraine’s repeated efforts at a counter-offensive that never seems to go anywhere.
Let’s not forget: the 2020 election was stolen! Some here seem to have a case of normalcy bias. They’re acting like 2020 was “honest,” and that Trump is, or is not, “positioning” himself to win 2024. Who’s going to stop the election rigging cabal next year if Trump does get the nomination?
The elitists who tampered with the 2020 vote might not do that to DeSantis because he’s a more establishment candidate. DeSantis would probably give the Illuminati, or whatever you want to call them, their coveted Ukraine war (and the trillion$ they stand to gain from it).
