DeSantis' 2024 Campaign Obstacles: Car Accident And Money Woes Leave Donors Anxious

Republican presidential candidate and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was involved in a car accident in Tennessee on Tuesday, according to his press secretary, Bryan Griffin.

Griffin stated, "This morning, the governor was in a car accident while traveling to an event in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He and his team are uninjured." Griffin expressed gratitude for the nation's prayers and well wishes for DeSantis' safety on the campaign trail.

Details regarding the crash are currently unavailable, leaving the public with limited information about the incident.

In other news, it has been reported by Fox News that top officials in DeSantis' 2024 presidential campaign have informed major donors that a campaign "reset" is underway. During a meeting with leading campaign contributors and bundlers, the officials acknowledged that they had spent excessive amounts of money since DeSantis announced his candidacy for the White House two months ago. Sources familiar with the gathering confirmed that changes were promised as DeSantis seeks to recover from what has been described as a disappointing start to his campaign.
