DeSantis is slamming Trump more directly. It’s a tough sell in the GOP.

What organizational hel is he bringing to bear?

DeSantis is relying on the support of Republicans in Florida who may not agree with President Trump on everything but appreciate the focus of his administration on making Florida a priority. He has leaned on the Republican National Committee (RNC) to help coordinate and spread the message, while speaking out on national issues such as healthcare, foreign policy, and education. Additionally, DeSantis has looked to leading Florida organizations to help him amplify his message across the state. This includes helping him to travel and hold events around the state, as well as mobilize support and build on his existing infrastructure.
