Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has replaced campaign manager Generra Peck with his longtime chief of staff James Uthmeier, the latest shake-up in DeSantis' presidential campaign as he continues to lag former President Donald Trump in early state polls.
Peck was DeSantis' campaign manager for his 2022 reelection bid, when he beat Democrat Charlie Crist by 20 points. But after anxiety from donors over the start of the campaign andof the campaign's staff recently being cut to reduce overspending, Peck had lost confidence from"folks inside and outside the campaign," according to one donor.
Uthmeier has been in DeSantis' governor's office since 2019 and became his chief of staff in the fall of 2021. This will be his first national campaign.
