DeSantis gains support from GOP figures in NH, KY, and FL.

Four New Hampshire Republican legislators who endorsed Donald Trump 19 days ago have now pledged their support to Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, as he prepares to launch his presidential campaign. The endorsements come as DeSantis seeks to build momentum in early-voting states, including Iowa and New Hampshire. However, one of the legislators, Juliet Harvey-Bolia, said she was endorsing both candidates. DeSantis' poll numbers have flatlined in recent months, and he faces an uphill battle to supplant Trump as the Republican Party's standard-bearer.
