 Casey DeSantis set to play central role in husband’s 2024 campaign

Casey DeSantis is set to play a central role in her husband’s campaign for the White House.

Florida’s first lady was front and center with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) during his campaign kickoff tour last month and earlier this month. 

The couple notably brought their three young children to Sen. Joni Ernst’s (R-Iowa) “Roast and Ride” event last Saturday, presenting a youthful, family image to GOP caucusgoers in the Hawkeye State.

Many political observers say her charismatic presence is likely to be a boon for her husband, who has drawn criticism over his perceived aloofness and reluctance to embrace retail politics.

“That’s a trait that we often see the first ladies or the first ladies to be,” said Debbie Walsh, director at the Center for American Women in Politics at Rutgers University.” They’re, in a way, humanizing their spouse and filling in some of the ways that they might not be as skilled or adept.” 

Others have praised the couple’s presence so far on the campaign trail. 

“The feedback has been really solid, and it’s not just about him, but it’s also about Casey,” said Bob Vander Plaats, an influential conservative Christian leader in Iowa. “The wife or the spouse always speaks a lot as well to the faith community.”

Born Jill Casey Black, DeSantis was raised in Ohio and attended the College of Charleston, where she received a degree in economics and was a part of the school’s equestrian team, according to DeSantis’s campaign website. She then worked as a producer and on-air host in Florida for the PGA Tour before working as an anchor and reporter at two Florida television stations.   

Looks like she got an actual degree, instead of faking an architecture degree as someone else promoted for a short while (before they had it pointed out as fake).

This comes to a surprise to The Hill that a presidential candidate's wife would campaign for him? Good grief.

Over the next nine months, you will see the usual suspect MSM outlets begin to attack DeSantis at the expense of defending Trump.  CNN had a story like that a few days ago.

From what I've read, she's a whammer-jammer, and a force to be reckoned with... Not just a pretty face...

She's a natural.
