Ron DeSantis is replacing his presidential campaign manager as he struggles to close his polling gap with former President Donald Trump and faces growing concerns from top donors.
Political strategist David Polyansky, who was working for the pro-DeSantis super political action committee Never Back Down, is being hired as Uthmeier's deputy campaign manager, the campaign confirmed Tuesday.
Peck will remain as DeSantis' chief campaign strategist, according to The Messenger, which first reported on the change in management.
Uthmeier has no prior experience running a political campaign.
