"DeSantis Campaign Reboots with Pledge to Let Ron Shine"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's campaign officials admitted to overspending and discussed making changes during a meeting with donors. The campaign plans to adopt a leaner, "insurgent" posture and focus on exposing voters to DeSantis. Recent polls show DeSantis trailing former President Donald Trump, and there are concerns about the campaign's financial position. Changes will include reducing spending on fundraising and reallocating funds to early nominating states. The campaign aims to run more as an outsider, engaging with mainstream media and holding smaller events. Despite early stumbles and staff cuts, campaign manager Generra Peck's position is secure, and the team is confident in their strategy going forward.
