10 Days

The Iowa Caucus is ten days away and Florida Gov Ron DeSantis continues to swing for the fences against his top two presidential primary opponents—former President Donald Trump and Ambassador Nikki Haley.

DeSantis is locked with Haley for second place behind President Trump, and during a recent CNN town hall event, the popular governor from Florida questioned Trump’s campaign strategy in Iowa, and blistered Haley as being a “phony.”

DeSantis has invested the most of all 2024 GOP presidential candidates and has the most to lose, and it shows.

Trump has been campaigning in Iowa of late, but not in the way Haley, DeSantis, and Ramaswamy have.

DeSantis has been all over the place and that could pay huge dividends for him with Iowans, and could pull an upset in Iowa.

Donald Trump is running on his issues, Nikki Haley is running for her donor’s issues,” said DeSantis.

Miami- The Miami-Dade Republican Executive Committee, which is lead by Rep. Alex Rizzo, a staunch supporter of Gov. Ron DeSantis,  held a 2024 presidential preference straw poll during the group’s planned monthly meeting, and members of the committee resoundingly voted in favor of former President Donald Trump over Governor Ron DeSantis.

The vote tally was small, but telling.

Of the 65 votes submitted, President Trump received 53, DeSantis 5 votes, Nikki Haley 3 votes, and Vivek Ramaswamy 1.

Gov. DeSantis has used his 2022 midterm reelection results on the presidential campaign trail, pitching his 11-point victory in Miami-Dade as an indicator of the support he enjoys from Republicans in the state’s most populous county.

Republicans like the idea of DeSantis being president one day, but they love the possibility that President Trump could be reelected to a second term

"Florida is Trump country! #MAGA," stated Laura Loomer, a conservative journalist and supporter of Trump.

With the 2024 Iowa Caucuses less than two weeks away, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has kicked his presidential campaign into high gear, traversing the Hawkeye State trying to cram in as many meet and greet events in hopes of upsetting former President Donald Trump, or at the very least, come in a respectable second place. During a town hall interview with Gray TV in Des Moines, Iowa, Gov. DeSantis continued to try to contrast himself with President Trump on issues, particularly with the ongoing illegal immigration crisis along the southern border with Mexico.

As more than 300,000 illegal immigrants came across last month alone, DeSantis reaffirmed his position that he would “declare” the border crisis a “national emergency on day one.”

DeSantis is vowing to deport all those who have crossed over illegally.

I'm going to have the military on the border to stop the invasion cold. But one of the things we have to do is, people come illegally, we've had millions under Biden, I'm going to deport them back to their home country,” said DeSantis.  You have got to do that.”

In contrasting himself to Trump on border security, DeSantis said that under his administration, Mexico would pay for the border security wall by charging Mexican workers employed in the US “fees” on the remittances they send back home.

In addition, DeSantis swiped at Trump for not delivering on his promise to deport more illegal aliens than any of his predecessors.

“Donald Trump promised the largest deportations in history. He deported less, believe it or not, than Barack Obama even did. So I'm going to do that. Number two, we are going to build the wall and have Mexico pay for it. How do you do that? Mexico is not just going to give us money. You charge fees on the remittances that workers send overseas. That'll raise billions. We'll build the wall,” added DeSantis. “But most importantly, we're going to hold the Mexican drug cartels accountable. I'm going to categorize them as foreign terrorist organizations. That's going to give us an ability to use deadly military force against them.”

Trump did deport fewer illegal aliens than Obama, but that was because there were significantly fewer attempts by migrants to cross into the U.S. illegally during his first term as president.

Under Trump, both legal and illegal immigration drastically slowed down.

DeSantis first stated that he would use military force against Mexican drug cartels when The Floridian pressed him on the issue at an official executive office event in Miami prior to his run for president.

He did it His Way

Happy New Year! Feliz Año Nuevo! While the 2024 Florida Legislative session begins next week, we are all still focused on Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Republican presidential primary race, which could begin or end for him when Iowans caucus on January 15^th.

There could be an Elvis sighting soon.

And now the end is here

And so I face that final curtain

My friend I'll make it clear

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain...

It’s not looking good for Gov. DeSantis, even though his so-called “influencers” or “zombies” are desperately trying to spin a potentially massive election night loss in Iowa and New Hampshire.

If DeSantis loses badly in both states, there is a good chance he will drop out and concede to Ambassador Nikki Haley and former President Donald Trump.

The latest state-level polls taken in Iowa Show President Trump with a commanding lead over both Haley and DeSantis, who are battling it out for second place with 16 and 18 percent support from those surveyed, respectfully.

The polling is worse for DeSantis in New Hampshire, where he is currently in 4^th place,  polling in single digits behind former Governor Chris Christie, Haley, and Trump.

What caused DeSantis’s presidential campaign to derail?

DeSantis.

We have accurately pointed out that DeSantis’s communications and online efforts will lead to his campaign demise because he decided to hire rookie political operatives with a total of two weeks of on-the-job experience.

But while the likes, amateurish antics of Andrew Romeo and Christina Pushaw pushed him over the cliff, it was DeSantis's initial “birdbrain” idea of trying to run a top-to-bottom presidential campaign instead of the traditional bottom-up approach that so many Republican presidential candidates before him have successfully done.

Instead of DeSantis jumping in an old pick-up truck and cruising around shaking hands and kissing babies, DeSantis started with a bloated and Swamp-like bureaucratic campaign that kept him at a distance from the media, and limited access to potential voters.

After the campaign almost went bust (reboot), DeSantis switched it up a bit, but the damage was already done.

Regardless of his position as Governor of Florida, DeSantis is just a regular dude who has always been reclusive, but 2024 showed many Americans that he, like most politicians, is all about himself.

Forget about non-immediate family. Forget about friends. Forget about who got him to where he is today.

If you don’t have something immediate to offer DeSantis, you are irrelevant to him.

DeSantis is the epitome of a transactional career politician, who has entrusted amateur spokespeople to guide his political career along.

Yeah, it seems like DeSantis will lose in Iowa and the rest of the states, but this is American politics, anything can happen.

We will say it again, if DeSantis can finish at a respectable second place in all of the early voting states, all bets could be off in the contentious race.

Meanwhile, the State-of-the-State address will be next week, it will be interested to hear what DeSantis focuses on before jetting back out to Iowa.

There is a high probability that DeSantis will miss a bulk of the legislative session because he is campaigning in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, and in Super Tuesday states.

Kat Cammack-Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy New Year! As we bid farewell to 2023 and welcome 2024, I look forward to connecting and working with my constituents as we face the challenges that lie ahead together.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz-I join the Dallas community and all those Americans touched by former Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, a trailblazing legislator, devoted public servant and champion for vulnerable populations and stronger healthcare for all. May her memory be for a blessing.

The End

It's that time of the year. Happy Year!

The beginning of the 2024 Florida legislative session is less than two weeks away, and the writers at The Floridian are ready to tackle whatever Tallahassee throws at them.

The team has expanded and will have four members focused on the legislative process over the next couple of weeks.

Liv Caputo has signed on, joining Jackson Bakich, Mateo Guillamont, and myself to cover the Republican-led legislature and all of the antics that usually occur in the two months.

We will also continue our coverage of the 2024 Presidential primary election, regardless of how long it lasts.

Expect to see live reporting from both Iowa and New Hampshire in the coming weeks, as well as in South Carolina.

From our family to yours, Happy New Year!

U.S. Senator Rick Scott (R) announced on his social media that unknown individuals deliberately and illegally harassed him by calling in a false criminal police claim, causing the Naples Police Department to respond to his residence "Last night, while at dinner with my wife, cowards “swatted” my home in Naples. These criminals wasted the time & resources of our law enforcement in a sick attempt to terrorize my family," stated Sen. Scott.

The act of falsely calling the police is called "swatting," which is extremely dangerous considering that the false allegations are made so that a maximum police presence arrives, usually heavily armed with a "SWAT" team.

There have been instances of swatting that have resulted in death as a result of police discharging their weapons or by the victim sustaining a heart attack.

This is a developing story

The post Last Squeeze🍊—12.27.2023—DeSantis Rolls Big Dice in 2024. Did He Place the Wrong Bet?—More... appeared first on The Floridian.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has bet his massive grassroots 2024 presidential campaign on winning Iowa, banking on the tens of millions of dollars he transferred over from his 2022 gubernatorial reelection campaign to his Never Back Down PAC, in hopes of mounting a winning door-knocking campaign.

At first, the money spoke volumes and momentum seemed insurmountable with NBD steamrolling across Iowa’s plains and touching just about every registered Republican voter.

According to the PAC, which is under scrutiny along with the DeSantis campaign for potentially colluding with one another, it has hit 812,00o doors in Iowa, 968,000 homes in South Carolina, and 385,000 doors in New Hampshire.

These are big grassroots numbers, but the ground game DeSantis and his supporters have put together has failed to move the needle in any of the public opinion polls conducted within the early voting states.

Now, with less than a month before Iowans caucus to choose the next Republican presidential nominee, DeSantis’s unmatched ground game facing more political challenges.

Not only does DeSantis have to deal with the existing and unwavering support for former President Trump, but he is now being challenged by Ambassador Nikki Haley.

Back in October, after DeSantis rebooted his campaign (again), a large group of present and former staffers of DeSantis’s administration converged on Ankeny, Iowa to lend a helping hand to the fledgling presidential campaign.

Several members who traveled to Iowa told The Floridian that they traveled on their dime, but that knocking on doors for DeSantis seemed futile because of the overwhelming support for former President Trump they were receiving.

DeSantis Rising in Iowa

“We are in big trouble,” said one source who spoke to us on the condition of anonymity.

The concerns from one of DeSantis’s core supporters who spent a whole weekend interacting with voters, echoed the poll results of the Iowa St. Civiqs poll taken that very weekend in Iowa.

DeSantis was only garnering 16 percent of Iowa Republicans surveyed, while President Trump held a commanding 55 percent support.

An NBC News. Des Moines Register poll, which historically has been seen as the gold standard for gauging how Iowans could potentially vote, showed DeSantis with only 16 percent support and Trump with 43 percent support.

Trump lost support because Ambassador Nikki Haley has begun to surge. In those two polls, Haley garnered 11 and 16 percent support, respectively.

“People underestimated the core support [for Trump],” said a Republican field operative who worked on the pro-DeSantis effort in an early state, noting that “everyone pinned their hopes” on the door-knocking effort being able to move the polls. “And it could not be overcome.”

Since those two Iowa-centric polls were conducted in October, Trump has soared, opening up his overall average of support over DeSantis from 16 percentage points to 34 percentage points.

Considering how fluid American politics can be, there is still a good chance DeSantis finishes a respectable 2^nd place if the ground game can overcome the Haley surge.

Both DeSantis and Haley have resumed their campaigning in Iowa this week.

Because Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis decided to run against former President Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential primary race, no love is lost between the two men, as the amount of disdain that is spewing out from both camps against each other is almost Biblical.

President Trump has been targeting Gov. DeSantis since before he announced his presidential run for office earlier this year.

Sources close to the Trump campaign say that the former president loathes DeSantis and his lack of “loyalty.”

The attacks against DeSantis have ramped up over the past several months as Trump’s surge in all the public opinion polls has elevated his primary election status to almost unbeatable status.

It hasn’t always been this way between Trump and DeSantis.

We all can remember when both men would trip over each other in praise before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The lovefest between Trump and DeSantis was almost nauseating, at least to Progressive Democrats who were very bitter that Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, and DeSantis beat uber-Progressive Andrew Gillum.

Many of you will not remember Trump’s grandiose tweet of support for DeSantis during his first congressional race in 2012.

I do because I was probably the only reporter to write about it for our Shark-Tank website.

In 2012, Trump was simply a billionaire land developer with TV personality status.

His endorsement didn’t really go far then, but speaks volumes now after he catapulted himself to be the undisputed leader of the national Republican Party and kingmaker to Republican candidates for elected office.

Trump tweeted our story here, listing DeSantis’s accolades and calling him “very impressive.”

Ron DeSantis, Iraq vet, Navy hero, bronze star, Yale, Harvard Law, running for Congress in Fla. Very impressive

At the time, Trump told me he was not ruling out a run for office as an Independent candidate, but said he would probably stay in the Republican Party.

He did just that and thee rest is history.

Iowa’s Caucus is on January 15, and New Hampshire’s primary election is January 23.

DeSantis Wishes Everyone a Merry Christmas, His Campaign Say 'Bah Humbug' to Sununu

As Christmas is now in everyone’s rearview mirror, the 2024 Republican presidential candidates are still on break and gearing up for one last push in Iowa and New Hampshire, as those states will vote on who they feel should be the GOP presidential nominee in the coming weeks. While Gov. Ron DeSantis is tripping over his kid's toys (I can relate), and ambassador Nikki Haley is celebrating her daughter's wedding, former President Donald Trump is relaxing at Mar-a-Lago and relishing in his “yuge” lead in all the public opinion polls.

Haley and DeSantis are in a fight for second place.

Team DeSantis and its surrogates have turned on NH Gov. Chris Sununu after he abruptly pivoted and endorsed Haley over DeSantis.

It was assumed by many that Gov. Sununu would have endorsed DeSantis considering how often the two men appeared together on the campaign trail, and how glowingly Sununu spoke of DeSantis.

But the moment Sununu backed Haley, the political knives came out over at the DeSantis campaign.

At every turn, Team DeSantis has pushed back against Sununu’s praise for Haley.

Whether it's praising her over “crisis management” or ”fiscal Responsibility,” or “school choice,” DeSantis surrogates and so-called “influencers” have been trying to knock down Sununu’s words by contrasting them to DeSantis’s record.

Yeah, we all get it. It’s politics, but know that if Sununu had backed DeSantis over Haley, Sununu would be revered as the second coming of Jesus Christ.

But that is not the case, and DeSantis Nation appears to just be saying, “Jesus, it's Crist,” not Christ.

Get it.

Meanwhile, Haley is surging as is Trump. DeSantis needs to hope the heavy lift he has done on the ground in Iowa pays off and helps him come in a respectable second place in Iowa, which would help him a week later in the New Hampshire primary election.

If not, DeSantis could be served a batch of maple syrup-covered flap jacks to go along with this cooked goose.

Iowa’s caucus is January 15^th and New Hampshire’s primary election is January 23.
