(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., is planning a campaign reboot because of his drop in popularity in the polls, an official on his team said.
During the last few months, DeSantis and his campaign have been dropping in polls, which led to him tying with businessman and another presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, whose approval was nowhere near the approval of DeSantis, the Post Millennial reported.
Despite the stagnating polls and financial troubles in the campaign, Generra Peck, an official of DeSantis’s campaign, stated that DeSantis is “ready to prove [the establishment] wrong again,” adding that people should “buckle up” for things ahead.
“It’s the third reboot in just under eight weeks. All campaigns reboot, but they don’t reboot every two or three weeks,” pollster Richard Baris said during his conversation with Jack Posobiec on Friday.
“So the real question is, is this really a reboot? Because we’ve heard this before.”
Around a dozen staffers were recently fired by DeSantis and Peck has been under pressure to perform. In addition to that, campaign financing also has been low.
The publication reported that 70% of donors to his campaign have already given the maximum amount that can be donated, while 15% of the donors are smaller and have given less than $200. On the other hand, both Donald Trump and Ramaswamy have brought in over half their financing from smaller donors.
In addition to all of the problems, morale on the DeSantis campaign is “downright low,” a source reported, saying that the “entire campaign is on the brink.”
To solve these problems, DeSantis decided to do more interviews and public events with “corporate media” outlets, with him appearing this week on CNN to do an exclusive interview with Jake Tapper.
People can also expect fewer staged events and more on-the-ground and “intimate” activities with voters, the news source reported.
