Former President Donald Trump held a meeting with Nevada State GOP officials at his Mar-a-Lago club on Thursday, his first direct outreach to party leaders of the early primary state. At the same time, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made a closed-door speech to donors, accusing fellow GOP leaders of sitting back in the cultural fights “like potted plants.”
The dinner was part of the Trump campaign’s aggressive outreach to state and local party officials in the early primary states like Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and beyond. During the meeting, Trump discussed political strategy and campaigning in the battleground state and said he would make a trip within the next couple months, or sooner, to the Silver State.
DeSantis’ remarks come as the Club for Growth searches for a new 2024 party standard-bearer to support over the next election cycle. During his speech, DeSantis said he was “going on offense” and that some Republicans were letting the media define the terms of the debate.
The Trump campaign also briefed the Nevada GOP leaders on their 2024 path. It is unclear what the Trump campaign’s strategy is for the next election cycle, but it is clear that they are actively engaging with state and local party leaders to ensure they have a strong presence in the early primary states.
