DeSantis assembles senior staff for expected 2024 presidential campaign

Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, is quietly assembling a senior staff for an expected 2024 presidential campaign that will be headed by his top political adviser, Generra Peck, and around seven other Republican operatives serving as top advisers, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The leadership roster remains subject to change since the campaign – which could launch as soon as the start of next month – does not yet technically exist and most salaries are being paid, for the moment, through the state Republican party.

But some of the senior staff have started to move in recent weeks to the campaign’s base in Tallahassee, the people said, as DeSantis prepares to announce his presidential ambitions as perhaps the closest challenger to Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination.

The campaign manager is expected to be Peck, one of DeSantis’s most trusted advisers, who most recently shepherded his 2022 re-election effort for Florida governor,

The political director is expected to be Ryan Tyson, another top DeSantis adviser and one of the best-known Republican pollsters

The communications team is expected to be headed by David Abrams, who came over from the Republican State Leadership Committee. Abrams previously worked for the former New Jersey governor Chris Christie and the New Hampshire governor, Chris Sununu – both potential 2024 candidates.

Also regarded as senior staff is Jason Johnson, the former chief strategist for Senator Ted Cruz

DeSantis is only slightly more relevant in the race than Mike Pence or Vivek Ramsawamy.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/04/27/poll-donald-trump-surges-to-62-percent-ron-desantis-crashes-to-16-percent/

Former President Donald Trump has surged to 62 percent support in April among Republican primary voters, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has crashed to 16 percent, Emerson College polling trends show.

Since January, Trump has gained 20 points over DeSantis, when the former president held 55 percent of GOP support, with DeSantis at 29 percent support, a 26-point spread.

DeSantis should honor his term in office and commitment to Florida, and hold off on aspirations for the big chair until 2024.

Not a chance I will vote DeSantis in the primary. I don’t like his stealth presidential campaign after running for governor (or law changes that permit him to run for president while supposedly governing Florida). I actually like most of his policies, but I’m also troubled by the people surrounding him. Seems like an establishment pick to me, and I despise the GOP establishment.

Maybe he thinks a Republican should win the presidency in 2024?

Why give Biden another four more years?

If he did he would be supporting Trump rather than putting ambition & gelt above Country.

I’m betting on the “he doesn’t run” side.

Trump has no path to the White House in 2024.
