DeSantis admits Trump will dominate in New Hampshire
Gov. Ron DeSantis: Trump Will Dominate New Hampshire Primary
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is not shying away from the competition in New Hampshire. While acknowledging that former President Donald Trump is likely to secure a victory in the Granite State, DeSantis remains confident in his own campaign.
During an interview on Fox News’s Your World With Neil Cavuto, DeSantis discussed the influence of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s substantial financial investment in the New Hampshire primary. However, he believes that Trump’s momentum from Iowa will ultimately propel him to success.
“I think a lot of it’s a factor of her dumping so much money into the state. I think an unprecedented amount of money. But I think her problem is Trump will run away with it in New Hampshire.”
DeSantis recognizes the uphill battle he faces against Trump, who he describes as a “de-facto incumbent” in the Republican presidential primary. He believes that Trump’s 51% in Iowa demonstrates vulnerability and weakens the argument of inevitability surrounding his campaign.
“I think what Iowa showed is, [Trump] got half the vote, which is good, really good in a normal caucus season, but I think he’s a de-facto incumbent president that is the most famous person in politics. So that was telling that you had half the people, roughly, that opted for someone else.”
DeSantis also highlights the impact of the inevitability argument on voter turnout, suggesting that some voters may have been discouraged from participating due to the perception that Trump is unbeatable.
“Now, what I do think we saw in Iowa and what you’re probably going to see Tuesday in New Hampshire and beyond is there are a lot of voters that were resigned that we were targeting that were interested in another choice, but they did buy into the inevitability argument. And I think that’s part of the reason why the turnout was so low. I think they said why go out and do it if Trump is running away with it. That is gonna continue to be the inevitability thing.”
Despite his current position behind Trump and Haley in New Hampshire polls, DeSantis remains determined to make his mark in the race for the Republican nomination.
What conservative policies and economic growth has DeSantis achieved in Florida?
Scussed his plans for the upcoming New Hampshire primary and expressed his belief that Trump will dominate the race.
DeSantis, who has been widely regarded as a potential Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election, spoke highly of Trump’s ability to connect with voters in New Hampshire. He acknowledged that Trump’s popularity in the state remains strong and that he expects Trump to secure a resounding victory.
However, DeSantis also made it clear that he believes in his own campaign and the message he brings to the table. He highlighted his track record in Florida, where he has successfully implemented conservative policies and overseen significant economic growth.
DeSantis emphasized the importance of lower taxes, deregulation, and pro-business policies in his interview. He pointed out that these policies have been instrumental in attracting businesses to Florida and creating job opportunities for the state’s residents. He pledged to continue pursuing such policies, arguing that they are essential for restoring economic prosperity and for enabling Americans to thrive.
The governor also discussed his stance on key issues such as immigration and border security. He strongly advocated for stricter border controls, emphasizing the need to uphold the rule of law and protect American citizens. DeSantis’s tough approach to immigration resonates with many conservative voters who prioritize national security and believe in prioritizing the interests of American citizens.
DeSantis’s confidence in his campaign comes as no surprise, given his successful response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida. Despite facing criticism and scrutiny from the media and political opponents, DeSantis has been widely praised for his handling of the crisis. He implemented measures to protect vulnerable populations while allowing businesses to remain open, thus avoiding the economic devastation that other states experienced. His steadfast leadership and willingness to make tough decisions have bolstered his political image and earned him the support of many Americans.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, it is clear that the Republican Party is looking for a leader who can build on the successes of the Trump administration and continue the conservative agenda. DeSantis has emerged as a strong contender, thanks to his track record in Florida and his ability to connect with voters. While he acknowledges Trump’s dominance in the New Hampshire primary, DeSantis remains confident in his own campaign and message. As the race unfolds, it will be interesting to see how DeSantis’s vision resonates with voters and whether his belief in his campaign can translate into success at the ballot box.
