A recent report by Inquisitr on December 25, 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is dealing with a serious political challenge that has rattled his presidential campaign. With the Iowa voting day looming, morale within his team has hit an all-time low.
The New York Times describes the situation as a shift from ‘life support to hospice care,’ painting a grim picture of a campaign struggling in a tough political landscape. Pollster Ryan Tyson, a key advisor, initially mentioned strategies aimed at making the campaign comfortable in this critical phase, but later denied such claims.
Despite denials, more than a dozen current and former advisors connected to DeSantis’s campaign reveal insights, depicting a campaign in crisis. According to the Daily Mail, setbacks have led to a significant drop in support, from 35% to a mere 12% in the race for the Republican nomination. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump maintains a commanding lead, overshadowing DeSantis.
The campaign faces internal turbulence with the Never Back Down super PAC, leading to resignations and terminations. This sudden change has thrown DeSantis’ candidacy into disarray, contrary to his previous image.
Reports also indicate that DeSantis’ campaign spending on private jet travel is expected to exceed that for TV commercials by the time of the caucus orders. Despite these challenges, DeSantis’s director of communications, Andrew Romeo, denies any indication of disarray and asserts the governor’s resilience.
As pressure mounts, DeSantis is set to remain absent from the campaign trail until December 28, potentially impacting his standing in the race.
