Despite facing two declared challengers for the Republican nomination, DeSantis is not shying away from the challenge. He held his first event in Beaufort, where Senator Tim Scott represented in Congress, and his second one outside Lexington, the legislative district where former Governor Nikki Haley got her start.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re political junkies,\u201d said Rob Visconti, who drove with his wife Michelle 2 1\/2 hours from Myrtle Beach to hear DeSantis. \u201cWe\u2019d like to see everybody running. We went down and saw Tim Scott about two weeks ago when he did his announcement in Charleston. And we wanted to see DeSantis. This is the first time we get the chance to see him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis drew a slightly larger crowd than Haley at the same venue. His crowd was appreciative, but not all of them were committed. They were more in the candidate shopping mode.<\/p>\n<h3>Charming Family Side<\/h3>\n<p>Putting the family side out there seems a shrewd strategy for him. It highlights that they have children; DeSantis\u2019s many initiatives regarding children and families are personal to them. That they are small children emphasizes his youth\u2014in contrast to the 80-year-old President Joe Biden and the 77-year-old Trump.<\/p>\n<p>And it allows him to work side by side with his wife, a heavy-hitter not only in the charm department but in substance, staking out her turf as first lady in various policy issues.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOne thing I learned very quickly was that there were a lot of great people on the ground, exterior of government, who were doing great things, but they were all siloed,\u201d she said. \u201cYou had the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/get-well-wishes-pour-in-for-casey-desantis-following-cancer-diagnosis\/\" title=\"Get-Well Wishes Pour In For Casey DeSantis Following Cancer Diagnosis\">faith-based community<\/a> doing wonderful things, but they were over here.
