DeSantis Is In Survival Mode

“Ron DeSantis doesn’t have to win next week’s New Hampshire primary. But he needs Nikki Haley to lose,” NBC News reports.

“That’s the view inside the Florida governor’s inner circle on the heels of a distant second-place showing Monday in the Iowa caucuses that nonetheless allowed DeSantis to say he got his ‘ticket punched’ to continue campaigning. His two-point margin over former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley was thinner than his advisers had hoped for but far better than the death knell of the third-place finish they had feared.”
