CNN —Facing a long summer of running from behind former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov.
Ron DeSantis is for now resisting calls to dramatically change course in his presidential campaign, instead targeting the first debate in late August as his opportunity to alter the trajectory of the race.
DeSantis’ campaign has already surpassed the donor threshold requirement of 40,000 unique donors and appears on track to meet the polling threshold as well.
DeSantis’ political team expects his activity in the coming weeks may look subdued compared to other candidates who may need an attention-grabbing moment to attract donors and support to meet the debate requirements.
“People want to support Ron but don’t like this kind of stupid stuff,” the fundraiser told CNN.
