Governor Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign is “on the brink,” and attempting another reboot, with campaign manager Generra Peck releasing a statement to NBC News on Thursday admitting, “Ron DeSantis has never been the favorite,” before curiously adding: “No one in this race has been under fire more and won than Gov. DeSantis.”
A source present when around a dozen DeSantis staffers were fired last week told NBC: “The entire campaign is on the brink… I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Meanwhile, the staffers who remain insist they’ll succeed with their latest reboot, which is forcing the Governor to join other, pre-planned events by external groups to save on his own campaign costs after burning through $8 million in his first six weeks. In that time, he only lost points in national polling. As a result, he’ll do fewer of his own events, and participate in far smaller ones.
The “new” DeSantis campaign is also expected to feature more “diners and churches,” with Peck concluding her comments to NBC with the phrase: “Buckle up,” which is not usually something you would associated with small events in restaurants and places of worship.
