DeSantis' Presidential Ambitions Take Him Across the Country

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is set to visit Washington D.C. next week to meet with Republican members of Congress and conservative leaders for a "meet and greet policy discussion" as he ramps up for an expected run for president. DeSantis has rarely spent time in Washington since leaving Congress in 2018, and his return is likely to be closely watched for the reception he receives among elected Republicans. DeSantis has continued his travel ahead of a potential bid, including upcoming stops in New Hampshire and South Carolina, both of which historically hold early nominating contests.
