The DeSantis campaign let go staff this week in the latest sign of a strategy shakeup.

The campaign is reportedly focused on going all-in for the first GOP primary in Iowa in mid-January. That strategy was on display this weekend as DeSantis skipped a major gathering of conservative activists in his home state to campaign in Iowa. The conference, hosted by Turning Point USA, was headlined by former president, who spoke Saturday night. “Donald Trump gave us an opening in Iowa this week, and we’re taking it,” DeSantis spokesperson Andrew Romeo told Politico.
The former president and Republican frontrunner criticized DeSantis for skipping the event, which included about a third of the Republican presidential field. “I don’t know why he’s not here,” he said. “He should be here representing himself.”
