In a strategic move ahead of the South Carolina primary, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has shifted his campaign focus to the Palmetto State, leading some to believe he may be neglecting his chances in New Hampshire. Despite criticism, DeSantis maintains that his decision is justified and that he will perform well in both states.
DeSantis' choice to prioritize South Carolina has raised eyebrows among his opponents, particularly in New Hampshire where the primary is a mere three days away. Critics argue that his heavy time investment in South Carolina suggests he has given up on the Granite State. South Carolina's more conservative voter base and its status as former Governor Nikki Haley's home state make it a potentially more favorable battleground for DeSantis.
