Questions are swirling around the Ron DeSantis campaign.
Florida's Republican governor launched a much-hyped and well-funded presidential bid in May, but his polling has mostly stagnated in the weeks since, leading him to field questions about whether he's failed to launch. DeSantis insists he's doing what it takes to win.“You know, my reelection in Florida, we had the greatest victory that any Republican governor candidate in the history of the state had," he told Fox News on Sunday.
"That's when people are really going to start paying attention to the primary," he said."Up to his point, a lot of that has been about some of these legal cases. And I think a lot of the voters are concerned about that, and understandably so." "A year in politics is a lifetime," said Florida-based Democratic strategist Sasha Tirador."There is still so much that we have to see that Trump is going to go through with all these pending indictments. I still believe that it's going to get to the point where Trump has a lot of trouble."
Still, recent polling shows DeSantis slipping against both Trump and Biden, outlining a tough road ahead for the top newcomer. Criticism has emerged around his relatively stiff personality and some policy positions, such as signing a six-week abortion ban into Florida law. One thing DeSantis does have on his side is big money donors. He raised $20 million in just the first six weeks of his campaign and will be able to use that haul to continue building momentum if there is a debate bump.
