Cash-Strapped Ron DeSantis Moving a Third of Campaign Staff to Iowa, Betting It All on Hawkeye StateNick Gilbertson 5 Oct 2023
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is betting his campaign on an all-or-nothing bid in Iowa, as he is moving a third of his campaign staff to the Hawkeye state while he has around $5 million in available primary funds in his war chest, according to a New York Times report.
The move marks a pivotal moment for DeSantis, as Iowa is the first Republican-voting state in the nation, and its caucus next January represents one of only a few opportunities to reverse narratives surrounding his campaign, given his collapse in the polls since the spring.
During that time, frontrunner former President Donald Trump has been indicted four times and coalesced a majority of support regularly reflected in national polls.
Staking it all on Iowa appears to be a daunting endeavor for the DeSantis campaign, considering Trump is above 49 percent of support in the RealClearPolitics (RCP) polling average of the Hawkeye State as of this writing and reached 51 percent in a CBS News poll conducted a few weeks ago.
