Salem, N.H. — Voters who turned out to Ron DeSantis’s early campaign events in the traditionally libertarian leaning state of New Hampshire were unanimously supportive of his ongoing feud with Disney, dismissing arguments made by much of the rest of the 2024 GOP field that the governor’s targeting of Disney’s legal protections represents government overreach.

After kicking off his campaign with a swing through Iowa earlier in the week, DeSantis made stops in Laconia, Rochester and Salem on Thursday for three intimate events with voters at a Veterans of Foreign War outpost, an American Legion, and an Elks Lodge. He touted his achievements as Florida’s governor and joked that he had brought Florida’s sunshine with him on the scorching hot day.
