Ron DeSantis is kicking his 2024 campaign-in-waiting into higher gear as a handful of his would-be Republican rivals gather this week for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, the likely 2024 hopeful held a retreat for Republican donors and elected officials in West Palm Beach, Fla. He\u2019s also kicking off an aggressive public schedule that includes a book tour through Florida, a speech at the Club for Growth\u2019s annual donor retreat and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earances in Alabama, Texas and California in the coming days.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The flurry of activity comes as GOP luminaries and presidential contenders \u2014 including former President Trump, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy \u2014 gather outside of Washington, D.C., this week for CPAC, the high-profile gathering of conservatives and a longtime mecca for Republican White House hopefuls.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis, who hasn\u2019t formally launched a presidential bid yet, will be notably absent from the conference. But his jam-packed schedule is the latest \u2014 and perhaps clearest \u2014 sign that he\u2019s entering a new, more aggressive phase of his 2024 preparations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat you\u2019re seeing is that DeSantis has found a way to run without officially throwing his hat in the ring,\u201d said Ford O\u2019Connell, a Republican strategist. \u201cThe book deal, putting himself in front of donors \u2014 and at the same time he\u2019s also back home reminding Floridians of who he is and what he\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s finding a way to make that balance work,\u201d O\u2019Connell added. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t want his hand forced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A campaign announcement from DeSantis is still likely months away; the governor said last week that he would make a final decision sometime after the Florida state legislature wraps up its regular session in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s little doubt among Republicans that he will jump into the race. His advisers have been reaching out to potential campaign staff hires for at least several weeks. And in another sign that DeSantis is preparing for a campaign, he released a new book \u2014 \u201cThe Courage to be Free\u201d \u2014 on Tuesday, taking a step that several other prospective candidates have already taken.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>DeSantis is scheduled to attend two fundraisers in Texas on Saturday before jetting off to California on Sunday to speak at a reception for the Orange County GOP. He will also be the keynote speaker at the Alabama GOP\u2019s annual Winter Dinner on March 9.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And there are signs that DeSantis will soon begin a swing through the early primary and caucus states that will be crucial to deciding the GOP\u2019s 2024 nominee. The New York Times reported on Tuesday that he will make stops in Iowa in the first half of March, followed by <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>s to Nevada and New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>Yet DeSantis and his team have signaled that they will move at their own pace when it comes to an official campaign launch, despite the fact that the primary field already includes three other candidates and is expected to grow larger in the coming weeks and months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Former Vice President Mike Pence has said that he will make a decision on a 2024 run \u201cby the spring,\u201d while former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who\u2019s scheduled to speak at CPAC, is expected to announce his intentions in a matter of months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) has begun to prepare for a possible campaign. He traveled to Iowa last week, where he delivered a pair of speeches outlining his vision for a revamped GOP.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Eberhart, a Republican donor, acknowledged that \u201cthere\u2019s some nervousness among donors\u201d that DeSantis hasn\u2019t announced his 2024 intentions yet. But he also said that the Florida governor\u2019s hands are tied until the end of the state legislative session, arguing that DeSantis is doing what he can to keep his momentum up.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cGov. DeSantis can\u2019t officially launch his campaign for the GOP nomination until after the legislative session ends in May, so he\u2019s doing what he can now to keep one foot on the national stage,\u201d Eberhart said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s some nervousness among donors that DeSantis isn\u2019t out there more, but we still have a long way to go before the nomination is decided,\u201d he added. \u201cI don\u2019t have any doubt that DeSantis will make a big splash in the pond of candidates when he does officially announce. In the meantime, those other candidates can decide how they want to take on Trump.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For now, DeSantis appears to have at least some room to set his own schedule when it comes to a 2024 campaign. Early polling shows him and Trump running far ahead of every other Republican candidate, either current or prospective. In multiple hypothetical head-to-head match-ups against the former president, DeSantis has emerged as the favorite.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But there are still some key challenges facing DeSantis. Some recent polls have shown Trump coming out ahead of the governor in a GOP primary. One Republican consultant with deep experience in Florida politics said DeSantis \u201cdoesn\u2019t have all the mechanics in place\u201d for a campaign; he\u2019s still trying to build out a more robust staff, while his massive political war chest remains tied up in state accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another GOP strategist questioned DeSantis\u2019s decision to skip CPAC, saying that it\u2019s a missed opportunity to put himself in front of the Republican Party\u2019s conservative activist class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a well-known Beltway commodity. Trump is going, Haley is going, so why not show up?\u201d the strategist asked. \u201cHe knows where he wants to be, so I guess he doesn\u2019t see it as a big deal. But if Trump\u2019s going to be there, why cede that ground to him?\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Other Republicans, however, argue that DeSantis is a special case, having managed to draw the kind of national attention that most would-be presidential contenders crave without going through the typical motions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been able to generate national attention and national <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> coverage without going to these sort of cattle call events, and he\u2019s risen to the top of the polls without having to do the sort of stuff that other candidates have to do,\u201d said Kevin Madden, a Republican strategist who served as a senior aide to Mitt Romney during his 2012 presidential run.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019ll be a test for sure,\u201d he added. \u201cBut it strikes me that he\u2019s running the sort of race he wants to run, not running one driven by the formula of past rollouts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
