DeSantis' camp on Tuesday announced that it was ousting campaign manager Generra Peck and bringing in two top outside strategists.
Replacing Peck, who is now the campaign's chief strategist, is James Uthmeier, previously the governor's chief of staff.
Campaign insiders and donors say the replacement of Peck is unlikely to quell anxiety about the direction of DeSantis' campaign.
NEW CAMPAIGN MANAGER, SAME STRATEGYUthmeier's appointment had been in the works for weeks, said one person close to the process.
"With him, the governor has basically imposed his will in Tallahassee," said another person close to Uthmeier, referring to Florida's capital city.
