MANCHESTER, N.H. — Last Friday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis trekked to New Hampshire, which is set to host the first Republican presidential primary next year, to rally support for the state GOP — and for his prospective campaign — under the guise of a book tour.

On his first trip to New Hampshire as a possible 2024 contender, DeSantis packed a large event room at the Doubletree in Manchester for the state Republican Party's major annual fundraiser, the Amos Tuck Dinner.

His speech was not without a hiccup: He stoically dismissed a handful of protesters who rushed the stage and unfurled a banner reading “Jews against DeSantis” during his speech, saying “You gotta have a little spice in the speech, right?” The handful of protesters were quickly removed by security, and the Florida governor stuck close to a stump speech tailored to New Hampshire’s brand of libertarian-leaning of conservatism.

DeSantis said he was told, “‘Keep your head down, don’t make any waves, bide your time and lay low.’ I understood that advice, it was not crazy advice. But I rejected that advice.” Trump remains the person to beat in most polls of early primary states like New Hampshire, and the rank and file of the party still speak highly of the former president, but that doesn’t mean they’ve closed the door on alternatives to Trump. Throughout the room, activists said they hadn’t decided yet who they would vote for, but were interested in DeSantis’ brand of cleaned-up Trumpism.
