While Trump is delivering remarks this morning to the Lilac Luncheon with the Republican Women of New Hampshire, the campaign of Ron DeSantis is reeling from some recent bad press in the Granite State:
Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign is struggling in the crucial state of New Hampshire and may have made the situation worse by scheduling an event on Tuesday in competition with a speech by Donald Trump to Republican women, prompting one prominent strategist to call the move “stupid”, Politico reported.
“It’s the worst strategic move he has exhibited thus far,” the New Hampshire Republican strategist, Mike Dennehy, told the website. “It’s just stupid, actually. You don’t take on the New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women.”
An unnamed adviser to a rival candidate chimed in, saying: “If there’s one thing you don’t do in New Hampshire, it’s piss off the grassroots women.
“Don’t mess with them, they remember everything. Rookie move.”
While it may seem like a small slight by scheduling a competing event, sometimes the little things wind up being deal-breakers down the road. DeSantis continues to struggle in New Hampshire, he’ll have a much better shot in Iowa or South Carolina.
