DeSantis looks to revamp strategy amid signs of political strain | The Hill

DeSantis began the year with clear momentum in the nascent GOP presidential primary, topping former President Trump in head-to-head polling and drawing unparalleled interest from Republican voters and operatives eager to see a fresh face at the helm of the party. 

But there are signs that his momentum may be stalling: he s faced weeks of relentless attacks from Trump and his allies, fellow Republicans have criticized him for dubbing Russia s invasion of Ukraine a territorial dispute and some recent polls have shown his support in a hypothetical GOP primary slipping. 

I think for all the fanfare about DeSantis, there s still a lot of stuff he needs to work on, said one Republican strategist, who plans to back the Florida governor in the 2024 primary if he runs. That s normal when you re exploring this kind of thing. But I think he needs to rethink things a little bit.  

To some degree, that already appears to be happening.
