Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is making a last-ditch effort to win over voters before the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary. Despite trailing behind Donald Trump and former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, DeSantis is staking it all on the first Southern primary, which will take place at the end of February. His campaign strategy involves targeting Haley in an attempt to force her out of the race, setting up a head-to-head battle against Trump on Super Tuesday. However, polls show DeSantis lagging in both New Hampshire and South Carolina, raising doubts about his chances.
Despite his conservative credentials, some voters hold the view that the timing is not right for DeSantis, especially with the looming shadow of Trump’s influence over the primary. This sentiment was echoed by Jim Bolig and Ken Coleman, who expressed support for DeSantis but felt that he is better suited for a different year. Nonetheless, DeSantis remains determined to gain traction and secure the requisite delegates for the nomination. As the primary race intensifies, he has canceled major TV appearances to focus on campaigning in New Hampshire, leaving the outcome uncertain for the embattled candidate.
