TL;DR

Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign faced mismanagement and wasted efforts from the start, with internal chaos, financial struggles, and a failed ground game in early states. Despite initial momentum and a landslide re-election victory in 2022, DeSantis now faces a likely blowout in New Hampshire and significant polling deficits. The campaign's heavy focus on culture war fights cost DeSantis donor support, while a reliance on Never Back Down super PAC led to in-fighting and negative headlines. DeSantis is now battling to be the last person standing against Trump, but his path forward appears near impossible.
