Recent reports and commentary indicate that Ron DeSantis's presidential campaign is struggling, with some analysts suggesting it's time to admit the campaign has failed. Austin Petersen and others have declared the campaign effectively over, and David Marcus has recommended DeSantis drop out for his own sake. The Orlando Sentinel described how DeSantis's costly ground game has sputtered. Justin Stapley labeled it the most expensive failed campaign in history, with DeSantis's support peaking before his announcement and dwindling consistently thereafter.

The Daily Beast reported that morale within the campaign has gone from bad to worse, and Shane Goldmacher of the New York Times highlighted the strategic miscalculations that led to DeSantis's loss in 2023.
