Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is at a critical juncture in his 2024 Republican primary campaign before next week's second debate.
After being largely ignored by his rivals during his last outing, the governor requires a strong performance in this debate, scheduled days before this financial quarter's fundraising deadline, to prevent further slippage in the polls and line his campaign's coffers.
The poll underscores DeSantis's general campaign struggles and his first-in-the-nation Iowa-focused strategy, where he is second behind Trump. Gov. Kim Reynolds has indicated she could endorse DeSantis as he crisscrosses the state amid Trump's criticism of Florida and Iowa's six-week abortion bans. Haley is third in the Hawkeye State but second behind Trump in her home state of South Carolina, which hosts another early nominating contest. DeSantis is third in the Palmetto State.
"No one is entitled to the nomination, and voters deserve to hear from candidates in person about their records and visions for the future," DeSantis campaign spokesman Andrew Romeo emailed reporters Friday."Donald Trump’s basement campaign would be a losing strategy against Joe Biden in the general election, just like it will be in the Iowa caucus when he cedes that state to Ron DeSantis as a result of taking Iowans for granted.
"It’s like he’s running Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign strategy but somehow expecting different results," New Hampshire's Scala added. Apparently aware of the importance of the moment and the debate, DeSantis's campaign and aligned committees have outspent Trump on Meta and Google digital advertisements, $1.8 million to $928,544, becoming the first 2024 candidate to invest more than $1 million on digital spots this year, according to OpenSecrets. Trump, who is not participating in the debate nor has been campaigning regularly, is also behind DeSantis in traditional ad spending and reservations, $38.3 million to $26.
