“This campaign is built for the long-haul. We intend to compete for every single available delegate in New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina and then into March,” DeSantis campaign spokesperson Andrew Romeo said in a statement. “That begins on Monday’s Iowa Caucus, and the next day we will kick our campaign into overdrive in both South Carolina and New Hampshire.”

DeSantis is looking for a strong second-place showing in Iowa to boost his campaign heading into the next nominating contests. He’ll need it in New Hampshire, where support for DeSantis has tanked over the past year. He started 2023 beating Trump in one poll of likely GOP primary voters in the state, but entered the election year with a string of surveys showing him stuck in the single digits.

Haley has spent both more money and more time in the state, having earned the support of New Hampshire’s popular governor, Chris Sununu. DeSantis, meanwhile, was absent from New Hampshire for long stretches last year as he focused on Iowa.
