With support plummeting in the critical early state of New Hampshire, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signals his intent to visit the state more.
Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, during a campaign event at Manchester Community College in Manchester, N.H., June 1, 2023.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has barnstormed Iowa in recent months, making the Hawkeye State, the first to vote in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, the focus of his campaign.
DeSantis last campaigned in New Hampshire on Aug. 19, appearing as a "special guest" of the super PAC supporting his campaign. "He has a solid infrastructure here of supporters, but his visits have been too infrequent to keep him from developing the type of traction he could be. Granite Staters have always rewarded the folks who show up and we're just not seeing a lot of DeSantis in-state," Moore added.
Andrew Dow, a 58-year-old independent voter from Farmington who plans to vote in the Republican primary but is undecided, said, "If you want to win in New Hampshire, you have got to come to New Hampshire, and I haven't seen him in a long time. "Ron DeSantis has maintained the most aggressive campaign schedule of anyone in the field and we are excited to be returning to New Hampshire soon," campaign communication director Andrew Romeo told ABC News in a statement.
According to Jason Osborne, the New Hampshire House Majority Leader who has endorsed DeSantis, that leaves more than enough time for the governor to regain ground.
