Ron DeSantis is headed to Texas next week, where he won’t just fundraise but will also campaign in a state where the latest poll shows him more than 50 points behind Donald Trump.
The Governor plans to hold a presidential campaign event in Midland, best known as the childhood home of former President George W. Bush, on Sept. 20. The event will kick off at 10:15 a.m. Central Time.
The trip was set weeks ago for the Lone Star State, where the Governor will hold a number of fundraisers next week.
On Sept. 22, DeSantis will be in Alamo Heights near San Antonio at a luncheon hosted by the former U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith and current U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, per San Antonio Reports. Roy is one of the few members of Congress endorsing DeSantis, who served three terms in the House representing constituencies south of Jacksonville.
Dallas businessman G. Brint Ryan will host an event Sept. 21 in Dallas, one the Dallas Morning News says will charge couples up to $13,200, with individual contributions topping out at $6,600.
The Governor’s week in Texas comes as his worst poll numbers in the state ever were just released.
The Defend Texas Liberty PAC Texas Statewide 2024 Likely Republican Labor Day Issue Poll shows Donald Trump ahead of the Florida Governor, 61% to 10%, among the 406 likely voters surveyed by CWS Research.
This is by far Trump’s biggest lead over DeSantis in the state. DeSantis was at 13% in July, 19% in June and 23% in May, meaning the Governor has lost more than half his support in the last few months.

DeSantis is becoming the Tonya Harding of politics. Just like her, his only chance is to kneecap his vastly superior opponent. Pathetic.

and who would have a better chance of taking PA than Trump; so if the defeat of a dem candidate is your priority, then rather than engaging in juvenile chortling you should be thinking about winning the Electoral College...
without PA, pubs don’t win the White House...

If DeSanctis cared the slightest bit about our nation, he would have already dropped out. He’s so far down, he could never get the nomination without some funny business also going down. If that happens, everyone will know it also and a good portion will proceed to stay home on election day. He has no path to the presidency.

He must really hate being governor of Florida.

The folks behind the impeachment of Texas AG Paxton, are following the effort to put George P Bush in as Texas AG. They appear to not be making much headway with that, but it is still an enormous battle going on.
DeSantis is not going anywhere with Texans and I see nothing that is going to change that.

Sell crazy some place else. I’m in the heart of Trump Country in PA, aka the T. People will not vote for DeSantis in the primary in PA. And if by some mystical feat, DeSantis became the nominee, people in Trump Country will stay home in the general election. A Republican can’t win PA without winning the T in PA. There is no DeSantis country in PA and not even in Florida. He’s politically dead.
