Gov. Ron DeSantis Teases Economic Address as Presidential Campaign Gains Momentum
CHARITON, Iowa — Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is gearing up to deliver an exciting economic address next week, as his economic policy.”>presidential campaign takes
a new approach to connect with voters through retail politics and policy announcements.“It’s harder for people that are just working hard and trying to get the most out of their God-given ability to do well, and that’s the American dream slipping away,” DeSantis told reporters Thursday in Chariton, Iowa, after the first stop of his bus tour. ”Our policy is going to address that.”
DeSantis emphasized the importance of economic policy, stating, “At the end of the day, when you’re talking about economic policy, it’s not really about dollars and cents. It’s really about what kind of society do you want to have. And for us, we want strong families. We want people to be able to thrive who work hard. We don’t want to have a situation where elites get bailed out or play under different rules than other people. We don’t want an economy where the government is controlling people’s behavior.”
Revitalizing the Campaign
DeSantis’s campaign is undergoing a strategic reset and restructure, with a focus on engaging with voters on a more personal level. As part of this effort, he embarked on a bus tour organized by the super PAC Never Back Down, making stops in Chariton, Corydon, and Osceola. The tour will continue with appearances in Albia and Oskaloosa, culminating in a speech at the Iowa Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner in Des Moines on Friday.
This campaign overhaul comes as DeSantis’s polling numbers have declined from an average of 31% in January to 18% on Thursday, according to RealClearPolitics. In contrast, former President Donald Trump maintains an average of 52%. While DeSantis has raised an impressive $20.1 million since announcing his bid in May, two-thirds of the funds came from one-time donors, and he has already spent $7.9 million.
Andrew Romeo, spokesperson for the DeSantis campaign, stated:
“DeSantis has already made three trips to Iowa since launching his campaign and has participated in 13 different public events in the state. Meanwhile, Trump’s engagement with Iowans can be summed up by headlines like this from the New York Post: ‘Trump to skip second Iowa cattle call after spat with state governor.'”
“No one will outwork Ron DeSantis in the Hawkeye State, and he is just getting started,” Romeo added.
