Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is facing questions about his path forward in the Republican presidential primary as he leaves Iowa with a distant second-place finish and stares down yet more challenging contests in the next early nominating states.
The Florida governor came in second, behind former President Trump’s expected first-place finish Monday night. But DeSantis’s finish was still seen as lackluster, especially after his campaign and super PAC poured most of their resources into the Hawkeye State.
On top of that, the governor faces an uphill climb in New Hampshire and South Carolina, where most polls show him coming in a distant third, trailing former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.
“Realistically, it’s going to get late very early the day after New Hampshire,” said Jim Merrill, a New Hampshire-based Republican strategist. “I think it’s going to be for everyone not named Trump, and that includes Haley. It’s going to take some clear eye on what the path forward is.”
