DeSantis wins over Pennsylvania grassroots activists, leaves no doubt he's running
“We have a responsibility to preserve what the founders of our country called the sacred fire of liberty,” the Florida governor said in his closing remarks of the nearly hourlong speech that brought attendees at the Penn Harris conference center, even those with red MAGA hats on, to their feet several times.
Longtime Cumberland County conservative activist Alex Anastasio said she loved the speech: “Especially the ending. I looked at another gal who's been doing this with me for a long time, and we both said at the same time, ‘Boy, that was the closest thing to an actual announcement,’” she said. Despite supporting Trump in both 2016 and 2020, like many in attendance here at the Penn Harris Convention Center, she has moved on to DeSantis for the future.
That kind of robust grassroots support might matter more than it usually does, explained former state party Chairman Bob Gleason, who is also a current state committeeperson. “It looks as though the legislature is going to move our primary up from May to perhaps as early as around Super Tuesday,” Gleason said of the legislation introduced in January to move the date to a more meaningful one in the winter of next year.
