Ron DeSantis' campaign angered some members of a New Hampshire women’s group by scheduling a town hall around the same time as their event for Donald Trump.
FILE-President Donald Trump, right, listens as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis speaks during an executive order signing ceremony in Washington, D.C. in 2020. Former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will hold dueling campaign events Tuesday in New Hampshire after some squabbling over the close timing of the appearances.
Two members of the women's group, however, posted on Twitter that they disagreed with the statement. One, former state lawmaker Melissa Blasek, said she was resigning her membership in the group over what she called "a cheap campaign stunt" that appeared to be motivated by the Trump campaign, which sent out its own press release sharing the statement.
Since launching his campaign last month, DeSantis has largely sought to project himself as more conservative than the former president in an attempt to dethrone him as the party's dominant figure. The governor has asserted he would appoint more conservative Supreme Court justices than the three Trump appointed to the court, criticized Trump for implying the six-week abortion ban in Florida is "too harsh" and accused Trump of having generally "moved left.
