Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis is replacing his campaign manager as the Florida governor continues to reset his stagnant presidential campaign. DeSantis’ campaign confirmed Tuesday he's bringing on his Florida office chief of staff, James Uthmeier, to serve as his campaign manager. Uthmeier replaces Generra Peck, who led DeSantis’ reelection campaign last year before jumping into the same role on his presidential bid. Peck will stay on as a strategist. The changes come as DeSantis has made two big staff cuts in the past few weeks, laying off about a third of his staff in late July as his campaign faced financial trouble.
