Ron DeSantis’ struggles to gain traction in the polls are becoming evident through recent changes in his campaign. According to the exclusive report by Messenger, the Florida governor has replaced his campaign manager, Generra Peck, and appointed his chief strategist, James Uthmeier, as the new campaign manager. Uthmeier, described as one of DeSantis’ “most trusted, and most conservative, advisers,” currently serves as his gubernatorial chief of staff. This decision follows a recent overhaul of the campaign, which resulted in the dismissal of about one-third of the campaign’s staff, as mentioned in Politico. Despite Peck’s successful leadership in DeSantis’ previous election as governor, her position was deemed not secure at this time.
The reshuffling of DeSantis’ campaign team has been prompted by dissatisfaction among donors who felt that the governor was not taking assertive measures to improve his campaign. According to Real Clear Politics, he lags behind Trump by a significant margin of 30 points or more in most major polls. Uthmeier is already working to change the narrative surrounding DeSantis’ campaign. In an interview with the Messenger, he stated, “People have written Governor DeSantis’ obituary many times,” and continued, “he’s breaking records on fundraising and has a supporting super PAC with $100 million in the bank and an incredible ground game. Get ready.” It is worth noting that Uthmeier has played a key role in several of DeSantis’ notable initiatives, including the relocation of migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard last year, as highlighted by Politico.
