DeSantis to Visit Early Primary States, Selling His Florida Record
New York TimesGov. Ron DeSantis of Florida will make his debut appearances in three early presidential primary states in the next several weeks, according to two people briefed on his plans, selling his performance in his own state as he lays the groundwork for an expected presidential campaign.
Mr. DeSantis is tentatively expected to appear in Iowa during the first half of March, making stops in Davenport and Des Moines, according to the people briefed on his schedule who requested anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the plans publicly. Shortly after, he is expected to appear in Nevada, an early caucus state, followed a few weeks later by an expected trip to Manchester, New Hampshire.
An appearance in South Carolina is also being discussed, according to the people briefed.
An aide to Mr. DeSantis declined to comment on his planned appearances.
