DeSantis may need some mainstream media attention as he tries to climb back into the race against Trump. He’s in a campaign environment now where his main competitor - Trump - has no problems interacting with mainstream media even if Trump derides them during his speeches and his social media posts. The justification was that mainstream outlets were “activists” and that conservatives should bypass them all together.īe hit and hit back - One could argue, however, this kept DeSantis from answering tough questions and getting prepared for what he’s up against now. The approach - The governor has occasionally held press conferences - usually around the state and outside of Tallahassee - where he took questions from mainstream outlets, but those were infrequent and usually short. His team would routinely release newsworthy items to conservative outlets before distributing them more widely. And it does come after his campaign has gotten a bit more responsive to mainstream outlets.Ĭontext - DeSantis and his team, both in the governor’s office and during his reelection, made a regular occurrence out of sidestepping mainstream outlets and instead only granting interviews to conservative (read: friendly) media and conservative influencers. This just comes just a few days after he called on a CNN reporter during a town hall in South Carolina.

Ron DeSantis, who rolled out his campaign platform on immigration near the Texas border, took a few minutes on Monday to answer questions about his standing in the presidential race versus former President Donald Trump. DeSantis may be pivoting to the mainstream media
