DeSantis Looks for a Way to Rebound

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his allies are sharpening their message nationally and in early GOP primary states as he copes with a drop in his poll numbers and sustained attacks from Donald Trump,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The former president has enjoyed a bump in GOP support since his indictment in New York on hush-money charges, as many Republicans rally to his side. But Mr. DeSantis is making an implicit argument within the party that Mr. Trump is incapable of winning a general election and trying to appeal to those tired of constant turmoil. The governor’s team is seeking to reassure Republican leaders and donors that there is a long campaign ahead, as the first primaries are still nine months away.”
