One diner stop at a time: DeSantis 実験（する）s 改造するd 2024 戦略 to （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Trump
By Gram Slattery
RYE, New Hampshire, July 31 (Reuters) - Sunday afternoon for Ron DeSantis began at a restaurant. The Florida 知事 sidled into a booth to 雑談（する） up a pair of newlyweds. Next he took questions at a barbecue outside a small red barn where onlookers munched on hot dogs.
His day of （選挙などの）運動をするing for the 2024 共和国の／共和党の 大統領の 指名／任命 ended at a lobster restaurant overlooking a 沼 where onlookers snapped photos of him 持つ／拘留するing one of the excitable crustaceans in his 手渡す.
Such was the first day of DeSantis' "reboot" of his （選挙などの）運動をする in New Hampshire, the No. 2 明言する／公表する in the 共和国の／共和党の 指名するing contest calendar after Iowa. A 勝利，勝つ in either could 供給する 勢い against 前線-走者 and former 大統領，／社長 Donald Trump.
Having 燃やすd through cash faster than 推定する／予想するd since 宣言するing his 立候補 in May and having failed to put a dent in Trump's 概略で 30-point lead in 共和国の／共和党の 最初の／主要な 投票s, DeSantis is now leaning into smaller-規模, more intimate events with 投票者s, によれば people の近くに to the 知事.
DeSantis made his 指名する 国家的に by …に反対するing many U.S. 政府 政策s to 妨げる the spread of COVID-19. He has since become a 主要な 人物／姿／数字 fighting what he argues are 極端に 進歩／革新的な polices 好意d by educators and 会社／団体s.
Now, he needs to give 投票者s an 適切な時期 to get to know him more intimately, although the new 戦略 has an inherent 危険: DeSantis himself. Even his 同盟（する）s 認める he is not known for his natural 愛そうのよさ.
The new 戦略 has the 追加するd 利益 of 存在 cheap, as the 知事 can 攻撃する，衝突する 多重の 発生地s consecutively, with 比較して little staffing and prep work, people の近くに to the （選挙などの）運動をする say.
If the （人が）群がる at the "No B.S." barbecue at the home of former 共和国の／共和党の 上院議員 Scott Brown on Sunday was any 指示，表示する物, DeSantis could be in for a 堅い slog.
Wedged into a 木造の pergola, DeSantis went through such talking points as 移民／移住 and energy, before taking at least a dozen questions from attendees standing on 激しく揺するs and sitting in 倍のing 議長，司会を務めるs.
Of the nine attendees Reuters interviewed, one had 以前 settled on supporting DeSantis. The others 全員一致で said they （機の）カム away impressed, but they were keeping their 選択s open.
These are the types of 投票者s that DeSantis will be relying on if he is to 上げる his small-dollar 出資／貢献s, which in turn is 重要な for the health of his （選挙などの）運動をする. About two third of the $20 million DeSantis raised in the second ４半期/4分の1 （機の）カム from individuals who "maxed out" in （選挙などの）運動をする parlance, meaning they 寄付するd the 最大限 permitted 量 to DeSantis and can 与える／捧げる no more.
Before DeSantis began his speech, Michael Lunder, a 67-year-old 実業家, said he was "probably going to support (DeSantis) financially."
After the speech, Lunder was more circumspect, 説 he was impressed, but that he took 問題／発行する with several of DeSantis' 政策s, 含むing his 対立 to 沖合いの／海外の 勝利，勝つd energy and 批評 of electric 乗り物s.
"I learned a few things that I didn't agree with, but, in general, I think I might support him," Lunder 結論するd.
CAMPAIGN REBOOT
In the last two weeks, the DeSantis （選挙などの）運動をする has undergone a shake-up both in style and 職員／兵員, によれば several people の近くに to the （選挙などの）運動をする.
Having spent 概略で $7.9 million in the first six weeks after its May 24 開始する，打ち上げる, the （選挙などの）運動をする is 強化するing its belt, making sure travel is more efficient by scheduling 支援する-to-支援する （選挙などの）運動をする stops and spending いっそう少なく on events, they said.
On Tuesday, the （選挙などの）運動をする 公表する／暴露するd it had let go 38 従業員s in 最近の weeks, more than a third of the staff. の中で other changes, the （選挙などの）運動をする 取って代わるd the 長，指導者 財政上の officer and 上げるd the remit of that position, one person said, hoping to keep a lid on costs.
For the time 存在, the （選挙などの）運動をする will be trying to scoop up 支持者s, one diner stop and lobster restaurant at a time, a 過程 that even the 計画（する）'s proponents 収容する／認める will be grueling.
Frank Cimler, an 弁護士／代理人／検事 in 出席 at the "No B.S." barbecue, gave DeSantis high 示すs, 説 he would be formidable on a 審議 行う／開催する／段階 against Democratic 大統領 Joe Biden, who will be 捜し出すing a second four-year 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語.
He 同意しないd with DeSantis' position that support for ウクライナ共和国 in its war with Russia is not a 決定的な U.S. 国家の 安全 利益／興味. He also 同意しないd with the notion that the 司法（官） system has been "weaponized" against 保守的なs, an oft-repeated 主張 of DeSantis and some of his 対抗者s.
As he left, a volunteer asked Cimler if he would commit to supporting DeSantis.
Not yet, Cimler replied, but he would 堅固に consider it. (報告（する）／憶測ing by Gram Slattery; Editing by Ross Colvin and Howard Goller)
