Campaign Check-In: How Are The Non-Trump Candidates Making Their Pitch?

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was once seen as the biggest threat to former President Donald Trump. But his campaign got off to a rocky start and is struggling to gain traction. In this episode, we look at how three non-Trump candidates — DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Mike Pence — are selling themselves to voters. And whether there is a market for anyone not named Donald in the GOP primary.

This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, political correspondent Ashley Lopez, and political correspondent Sarah McCammon.

The episode was produced by Lexie Schapitl and Elena Moore. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
