That’s because he skipped NH. DeSantis put almost all of him money in Iowa...it was a bold gamble and it did not work. He paid the fee to get on the ballot in NH and that was about it.
He spent almost zero money in NH because he believed he would be much stronger in SC, but it was the wrong choice. Either way, it really would not matter.
“He spent almost zero money in NH”
Time out.
Let us look at the numbers.

DeSantis spent 54.8 million dollars in New Hampshire.
Donald Trump only spent 39.5 million dollars.
If DeSantis was “skipping” New Hampshire he could have sent the 54.8 million dollars to me for disposal.
