Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R-FL) presidential campaign has moved to stave off any doubts about his bid for the White House amid increasing chatter that he is failing to live up to the hype and being left behind by former President Donald Trump.
A confidential campaign memo obtained by NBC News outlines the future strategy for the DeSantis team as the 2024 presidential race heats up. The internal message is dated July 6 and is labeled “confidential friends and family update” with the words “not for distribution.”The memo explains that the campaign does not yet intend to invest in Super Tuesday states like Tennessee and Alabama because they don't want to take resources away from New Hampshire. Super Tuesday is on March 5, 2024.
The super PAC Never Back Down, which backs DeSantis, is planning to put 80 field operatives in California, a Super Tuesday state, the PAC’s chief operating officer, Kristin Davison, told the outlet.“While Tim Scott has earned a serious look at this stage, his bio is lacking the fight that our electorate is looking for in the next President. We expect Tim Scott to receive appropriate scrutiny in the weeks ahead,” the memo reads.
The memo emphasizes that Trump, the GOP front-runner, and DeSantis are the two viable candidates that could hold the Republican nomination, with both contenders outranking other Republican presidential hopefuls in primary polls.
