DeSantis Presidential Campaign Continues To Falter

US

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' (R-FL) 2024 presidential campaign continues to falter despite a recent attempt to streamline his staff, limit incurred costs which have spooked donors, and reset his policy objectives.

  • According to Smarkets, there is now little between DeSantis and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy who has entered the conversation in recent weeks with a hardline platform designed to win the support of the former President Donald Trump's base.
  • News yesterday that the Department of Justice has added two additional criminal charges to Trump's classified documents indictment has done little to affect Trump's frontrunner status.
  • According to Smarkets, Trump's implied probability of taking the Republican nomination increased slightly, to around 72.5%, in the wake of the announcement.
