Ron DeSantis Never Caught Fire. Now It’s Catching Up to Him.
MANCHESTER, New Hampshire— Less than two months before Republican voters begin casting their primary ballots, it’s clear Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign is broken—and he’s not fixing it either.
During a campaign stop at a stodgy New Hampshire banquet hall last week, DeSantis continued to display the range of tics and verbal crutches that have defined his campaign as an exercise in cringe.
Despite pleas from his supporters and outside observers to stop mentioning his home state so frequently, for instance, the governor of Florida mentioned Florida some 40 times in just under an hour of speaking time.
