Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will travel to New Hampshire next month as speculation mounts that he will soon launch a 2024 presidential bid.
News of his planned visit to the early primary state, which will take place on April 14, comes after his Friday visit to Iowa, which still holds the first-in-the-nation presidential caucus for Republicans, and Saturday stop in Nevada. DeSantis will travel to New Hampshire for the state Republican Party's annual Amos Tuck Dinner in the city of Manchester.
The Florida governor has remained tight-lipped about his 2024 plans and is not expected to make an announcement before the conclusion of the state's legislative session, which ends in May. A growing chorus of DeSantis allies has said in recent weeks that the governor planned to launch his White House bid sometime this summer.
Pressed about his recent travels by Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures over the weekend, and specifically whether his Iowa trip was the"first indication" that he was running, DeSantis claimed he was in the Hawkeye State to sell books. “It’s the first indication that we have got a great book that people are buying," he told the network."We had a lot of interest.”DeSantis was joined by Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, also a Republican, at his Friday events in Davenport and Des Moines.
"Your governor, Kim Reynolds, is a friend of mine, and I often tell people when they asked me in Florida, you know who else has done a good job, and I always say, you look what Iowa has done," DeSantis said."We got a great response across two different cities."

Trump looks to play catch-up to DeSantis on education in 2024 raceFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis has shown that waging cultural warfare over education can pay off with voters, and now Donald Trump is looking to get in on the action. The former president, who is making another bid for the White House in 2024, is slated to deliver remarks on education policy at a campaign event in the key early voting state of Iowa on Monday. Much of what Trump is expected to outline appears to be cribbed from DeSantis’ conservative playbook, including prohibitions on teaching so-called critical race theory and “gender ideology” while giving parents a greater say in their local schools by adopting a “Parental Bill of Rights.”
