New York Times says DeSantis campaign has entered the ‘hospice care’ phase of inevitable death

On Sunday, The New York Times ran an article on the status of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign, indicating that it is only a matter of time before his candidacy comes to a close.

The outlet reported that longtime DeSantis pollster and close advisor Ryan Tyson has privately revealed that the campaign is in the end stages. "Ryan Tyson, Mr. DeSantis's longtime pollster and one of his closest advisers, has privately said to multiple people that they are not at the point in the campaign where they need to 'make the patient comfortable,' a phrase evoking hospice care. Others have spoke of a coming period of reputation management, both for the governor and themselves, after a slow-motion implosion of the relationship between the campaign and an allied super PAC left even his most ardent supporters drained and demoralized."

Another anonymous insider told the Times, "You’re running against a former president, you’re going to have to be perfect and to get lucky.” They added, "We’ve been unlucky and been far from perfect.”

Communication director for the DeSantis Campaign Andrew Romeo took issue with the use of anonymous reports from the media and provided a statement from Tyson to the Times in which he denied making the hospice reference about the Governor. "Different day, same media hit job based on unnamed sources with agendas,” Romeo said.
