Ron DeSantis&#8217;s (R-FL) presidential campaign \u2064is making a strategic\u200c shift,\u200c opting to scale back on door-knocking and field operations in four states. This departure from their once-ambitious strategy aims to shock \u200dand awe other\u2064 campaigns.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Never Back Down has recently suspended its field operations in Nevada, California, North Carolina, and\u2062 Texas, a source close \u2062to the group confirmed to the \u2063Washington Examiner. Outside of Nevada, the other three states have\u2063 primaries on\u2064 Super Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This change in tactics was first reported by NBC News on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The suspensions mark a significant departure\u200b for a super PAC that initially planned\u200c to spend\u2062 $100 million on sweeping on-the-ground efforts to boost DeSantis in 18 states.<\/p>\n<p>It also reflects \u200ca \u2064challenging\u2064 summer for DeSantis&#8217;s presidential campaign, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ron-desantis-super-pac-cuts-back-on-door-knocking-in-several-states\/\" title=\"Ron DeSantis' super PAC reduces door-knocking in multiple states.\">experienced multiple staff shakeups<\/a>, resets, and public speculation from GOP \u2063donors about the governor&#8217;s ability to \u200cchallenge \u2064former President Donald Trump in the 2024 primary race.<\/p>\n<p>A Trump super PAC took the opportunity to gloat over the news, \u200cposting a pun on Never Back Down&#8217;s \u200bname. &#8220;N\u0336e\u0336v\u0336e\u0336r\u0336 \u200cBacks\u2062 Down,&#8221; Make America Great Again \u2063Inc. wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Never Back Down\u2062 will now focus \u2063on investing in ground operations in three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nevada-to-hold-first-presidential-primary-of-2024-election-cycle\/\" title=\"Nevada To Hold First Presidential Primary Of 2024 Election Cycle\">early nominating states<\/a>: Iowa, New \u200dHampshire, and South\u2063 Carolina.\u200c These\u200c states are crucial for DeSantis&#8217;s viability in \u200dthe race. The group&#8217;s\u2064 spokeswoman stated that investing in states like Nevada, where the GOP\u2064 Chairman actively\u200c supports Trump, would not be a \u2064wise use of resources.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNevada\u200b is heading to\u2064 a lawsuit. And with the way that Trump puppet executive director, or the party chair, is conducting that caucus\/primary, primary\/caucus routine that \u2062he\u2019s \u200cdoing,&#8221; \u2062said Erin Perrine, Never Back Down&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-knows-he-messed-up-on-fracking-at-debate-and-is-now-doing-damage-control-the-daily-wire\/\" title=\"Joe Biden Knows He Messed Up On Fracking At Debate And Is Now Doing Damage Control | The Daily Wire\">communications director<\/a>.\u200c &#8220;When you have that kind of\u2062 uncertainty \u2062about how the election\u2019s going to \u2064be conducted, that becomes a pretty \u200bunstable environment to be investing the kind of resources that we\u2019re investing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Nevada&#8217;s Republican Party is holding a separate caucus next year, which some believe will benefit Trump. The caucus results will determine which candidate receives \u200bthe state&#8217;s delegates to the Republican National Convention next summer.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cA similar \u200bsituation in California, where they \u200celiminated the California Republicans\u2019\u2063 say in their own primary as well as\u200c making grassroots involvement impossible,&#8221; Perrine said. &#8220;Now \u2064the central committee will have\u200d a\u2063 convention and a vote at the end of September which could alter\u200b that. But\u2063 that was a Trump-inspired rigging as \u2062well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>California&#8217;s\u200c GOP changed its rules \u200cfor delegate allocation during its primary in late July,\u2064 a \u200cmove supported by\u2062 the Trump campaign. This \u2063change makes the state \u200bless competitive \u2062for other candidates, as all 169 delegates will go \u200bto the candidate who receives\u2062 more than 50% of the vote. If no candidate \u200bsurpasses 50%, delegates are\u2062 proportionally awarded based on a statewide vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so with\u200b neither state having a fair process, the door knockers that were \u2064in Nevada and California, we decided to \u2062refocus them into the first three,&#8221; Perrine explained the group&#8217;s shift in strategy.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis&#8217;s Uphill Battle Against Trump<\/h3>\n<p>DeSantis has consistently trailed Trump in most national\u2063 and \u200dstate polls, often by more than \u200b40 percentage points.
