Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Allies Press For a Campaign Shake Up
Criticism Mounts Against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ Campaign Manager Due to Funding Shortage.ย Generra Peck, DeSantisโ top aide, is โhanging by a thread,โ said a DeSantis donor who is close to the campaign.
Many allies have notified DeSantis, to consider firing Campaign Manager Generra Peck, or “layering’ her to a less public demotion in which she would have to report to a new senior authority. According to DeSantis Allies, It is clear that the campaign is struggling. A DeSantis money-bundler said. โIt is the chatter among donors, and it extends beyond the first rung of the bundler class. Money people are losing confidence quickly, A DeSantis Fund Manager, said โItโs time for that kind of change. Itโs time for a shake-up at the top.โย
The idea that DeSantis needs a shake-up is widely held among Republicans, according to conversations NBC News had with roughly a dozen strategists and donors, both affiliated with the campaign and not.ย But a DeSantis-aligned Republican directly familiar with the governor and his wifeโs thinking predicted that Peck will stick around โ at least for now.ย
โGovernor DeSantis and Casey very much support her. I wouldnโt say itโs never going to happen, but right now her job is safe,โ the DeSantis ally said.
Campaign spokesman Andrew Romeo responded to a request for comment about Peckโs status and DeSantisโ level of confidence in her by criticizing the media.
โThe media has tried to destroy Ron DeSantisโ campaign since day one because they are scared to death he will beat Joe Biden,โ Romeo wrote. โThe governor has never cowed to false media narratives and he isnโt about to start now. We wonโt be deterred and are going to win the nomination.โ
