Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently reached out to his supporters for the first time since ending his presidential campaign. Just hours before his scheduled appearance at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, DeSantis sent a text message to his followers, urging them to watch his upcoming remarks.
In the message, DeSantis invited his supporters to tune in to his speech at the RNC, but notably did not mention former President Donald Trump. The text read, 'Free tonight, Friend? Ron DeSantis is speaking tonight at the RNC & he wants YOU to tune in,' and included a link to DeSantis' fundraising page for his Restore Our Nation PAC.
The fundraising page prominently features a live feed of the convention, providing supporters with a direct link to watch DeSantis' address. This outreach marks a significant re-engagement with his base, as DeSantis had not communicated with his supporters via text since the conclusion of his presidential campaign.
DeSantis' decision to reconnect with his supporters ahead of his RNC appearance suggests a strategic effort to rally his base and garner support for his political initiatives. By leveraging the platform of the convention, DeSantis aims to amplify his message and engage with a broader audience of conservative voters.
As DeSantis prepares to address the convention, his outreach to supporters underscores the importance of mobilizing grassroots support and maintaining a strong connection with his base. The text message serves as a reminder of DeSantis' political ambitions and his ongoing efforts to advance his agenda within the Republican Party.
