.GovRonDeSantis's forthcoming address at the largest annual New Hampshire GOP fundraising gala is heavily anticipated. Heading into his speech, many of the Florida governor's rivals have gained ground in the key early state, setting high stakes for him.
Without divulging specifics, New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Chris Ager teased that fundraising for the Amos Tuck Dinner event Friday has been"unusually successful" amid anticipation over DeSantis. Heading into his speech, many of the Florida governor's rivals have gained ground in the key early state, setting high stakes for him."This is an extremely successful fundraiser," Ager told the Washington Examiner."It's record-breaking. ...
DeSantis has crisscrossed the country, delivering speeches in key states such as Iowa, Michigan, and, most recently, Ohio on Thursday, where he was set to be a special guest at the Butler County GOP Lincoln Day dinner. But before the Amos dinner, New Hampshire did not appear to be on his itinerary, at least for public events.
Polls have shown DeSantis's chief rival, former President Donald Trump, gaining traction amid a boost from his indictment. Last week, a St. Anselm College Survey Center poll pegged Trump handily topping DeSantis 42% to 29% in New Hampshire. "He has enacted policies in Florida that many people in New Hampshire applaud. And he's been a very successful governor of a large state. And so that could give you an indication of his potential success running the country," Ager said."People like to hear from him directly without the filter."

Florida GOP passes 6-week abortion ban; DeSantis supports itThe Republican-dominated Florida Legislature has approved a bill to ban abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The House gave the proposal final passage on Thursday. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has said he supports the bill and is expected to sign it into law. A six-week ban would give DeSantis a key political victory among Republican primary voters as he prepares to launch an expected presidential candidacy built on his national brand as a conservative standard bearer.
