The Florida governor has replaced his
2024 presidential campaign manager,
Generra Peck, CNN reports.
James Uthmeier, DeSantis' current chief of staff, will now manage the campaign.
James Uthmeier has been one
of Governor DeSantis’ top advisers for
years and he is needed where it matters most: working hand in hand with Generra Peck
and the rest of the team to put the governor
in the best possible position to win this
primary and defeat Joe Biden, Andrew Romeo, spokesperson for Ron DeSantis, via statement.
Peck will reportedly serve as
the campaign's chief strategist.
.
The move represents DeSantis' latest attempt to breathe new life into his bid for the White House.
His momentum from winning reelection as governor slowed over the summer as he failed to hit fundraising goals, trailing behind Donald Trump.
Six weeks into his campaign, payroll reportedly hit $1 million.
.
Last month, DeSantis was forced to let go of over a third of his campaign staff.
You have an intent about what you want to see.
When it’s not there, then you just adjust and go forward, but at the end of the day, it’s a lot of it is the same stuff.
, Ron DeSantis, via statement.
You’re putting out a vision.
You’re putting that in front of voters, and you’re asking them to support you, Ron DeSantis, via statement

Biden Asserts Executive Privilege , Over Audio of Interview With Robert Hur.
In February, Hur's yearlong investigation
into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.
In February, Hur's yearlong investigation
into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.
House Republicans were provided a
transcript of Biden's interview with Hur, but they wanted the audio, which the DOJ denied.
As a result, House Republicans were
moving to hold Attorney General
Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
On May 16, the Department of Justice told House Republicans that the president asserted executive privilege over audio from his interview with the special counsel.
The move protects Garland from criminal exposure as GOP lawmakers seek to hold him accountable.
Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte
explained the DOJ's actions in a letter.
The Attorney General must draw a line
that safeguards the Department from
improper political influence and protects
our principles, our law enforcement work,
and the people who carry out that work
independently, without fear or favor, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
The Committees seek to hold the
Attorney General in contempt
not for failing in his duties,
but for upholding them, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
With the information you now have,
the Committees ought not to proceed
with contempt and should instead avoid
unnecessary and unwarranted conflict, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
White House Counsel Ed Siskel also wrote a letter supporting the assertion of executive privilege. .
The absence of a legitimate need
for the audio recordings lays bare
your likely goal—to chop them up,
distort them, and use them for
partisan political purposes, White House Counsel Ed Siskel, via letter
