"DeSantis Shifts Focus to South Carolina, Skips New Hampshire Primary Week"

TL;DR Summary
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is shifting his campaign focus to South Carolina and will be leaving New Hampshire before its primary, aiming to pressure Nikki Haley to win her home state and potentially exit the race if she doesn't. DeSantis' decision comes after canceled debates in New Hampshire and a desire to consolidate the GOP contest into a "two person" race between himself and Trump. This move follows his second-place finish behind Trump in the Iowa caucuses and a lack of significant polling growth in New Hampshire.
