There was supposed to be a deluge of support for the Florida governor in Congress. It hasn't worked out that way.

For a candidate who seemed to encapsulate GOP officials’ hopes to move on from Trump—and who served in Congress himself—DeSantis' disappointing showing might be shocking, but not surprising. But the governor’s rocky campaign launch and slow start in the polls, Republicans say, seems to be keeping those would-be DeSantis supporters in the shadows.
In the early primary states, where endorsements from state lawmakers, mayors, and civic leaders are highly sought after—if something of a chore to land—DeSantis isn’t faring too much better. Ward, a GOP stalwart who tends to keep her cards close to the vest and is unlikely to endorse a candidate anytime soon, said she’s already reaching her limit with the endorsement outreach. When asked if DeSantis or anyone else has stood out to her, she said she’s heard from several different campaign representatives, but not the Florida man himself.
But this time, on a sticky Tuesday morning in Concord, New Hampshire, the relatively trimmed-down press corps could only talk about one thing at the New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women luncheon.The grumbling was prompted when “They’re here to see the president, not you guys,” one of the bathroom escorts yelled at the reporters after repeating the ground rules for a third time.
