On Tuesday, Mr. DeSantis was on a three-stop fund-raising swing through Tennessee when his four-car motorcade had a pileup after traffic suddenly slowed.
On Thursday, Mr. DeSantis is set to return to Iowa for two days of events and his first bus trip in the state.
His main super PAC is doing so instead, inviting Mr. DeSantis as a “special guest.”The payroll reduction came on the heels of a donor retreat in Park City, Utah, where Mr. DeSantis convened about 70 top supporters.
They enjoyed s’mores on the deck and cocktails as campaign officials and super PAC advisers made presentations about the state of the race.
Instead, they focused on the notion that they were steadying the ship, making adjustments and trying to find ways to help Mr. DeSantis spread his message.
