Courting DeSantis: These groups are trying to convince Florida’s governor to run for president

Outside political groups trying to convince Ron DeSantis to campaign for president in 2024 are a sign of the Florida GOP governor's sizable grassroots support should he run.

"I’m a Floridian. I love what Gov. DeSantis has done there," Alex Olson, a chief strategist for Ron to the Rescue, told Fox News."We think that he is the best choice to be at the top of the ticket."

The Ron to the Rescue table at the New Hampshire GOP annual meeting is manned by Alex Olson, a senior adviser for the super PAC, and by former state GOP vice chair Pam Tucker, in Salem on Jan 28, 2023. While the former president remains the overall front-runner in the early 2024 GOP nomination polls, DeSantis has eclipsed him in some surveys, including a new poll in New Hampshire.

"Our plan is, as legally as possible, help the DeSantis campaign with our infrastructure when that comes. If they want to take it, we’d love to be able to pass the torch with a lot of our activists," Olson said. The governor’s political team pointed to a memo from last summer that highlighted that contributions to the non-affiliated PACs"do not benefit Governor DeSantis or his re-election."
