Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) is preparing to give a rare interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper next Tuesday.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expanding his presidential campaign’s media strategy, booking an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper for this week as he tries to close the polling gap with former President Donald Trump.
The Tuesday interview will come at the tail end of a policy rollout in South Carolina and air just days after reports indicated the DeSantis campaign had let go of roughly a dozen staffers.
Since launching his campaign back in May, DeSantis has largely limited his media appearances to conservative-friendly platforms and local outlets in early-voting states.
Critics, such as former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, have chided the Florida governor for not engaging with more adversarial reporters that are more likely to pepper him with hard-hitting questions.
“There are people within the media who are still seeking the truth; we will engage with them. And we look forward to getting our the message out there to the American people,” Bryan Griffin, a spokesperson for the DeSantis campaign, told The Post of the Tapper interview.
