Even though it’s early and he isn’t officially a candidate, Florida Gov. DeSantis’ team is already plotting out a strategy to run against former President Trump for the long haul.
with the Republican National Committee’s rules and calendar, so state party leaders are considering a later caucus or state convention to allocate delegates.
State parties have until Oct. 1 to submit plans to the RNC for allocating delegates. In the past, rules have ordinarily required convention delegates to be awarded proportionally in the caucuses and primaries held before March 15. Winner-take-all contests, in which first-place candidates can win all of a state’s delegates, traditionally come later in the calendar.
“I think if you have the resources to play on the larger playing field and not just focus on the early states, then it’s smart to do so,” said a Republican strategist who has held senior roles in past presidential campaigns but is for now unaligned in the 2024 race. “The caveat is you need to close the deal in the early states first. Gov. DeSantis hasn’t done that yet, so he runs the risk of acting too much like a front-runner when he hasn’t cemented that place yet.
“Those states obviously have reputations for being Democratic, but in a GOP primary they have a lot of delegate potential,” said one of the DeSantis advisers who was granted anonymity to speak freely about the thought process. “He has polled really well in California, and we think there is potential.”
