DeSantis faces tough competition in New Hampshire political season.

Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor and Republican presidential candidate, is facing challenges in New Hampshire, a state where he previously polled well. DeSantis has stumbled in the state since formally entering the presidential race, with his first visit as a candidate drawing more headlines for what he didn’t do than for his politicking. The New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women has criticised DeSantis for planning an event at the same time as their annual fundraising lunch, which Donald Trump is headlining. DeSantis’ culture-war platform has more natural appeal in Iowa and South Carolina, and the anti-Trump lane is crowded in New Hampshire.
