Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday qualified to join Vermont’s ballot for the 2024 GOP primary, marking a milestone.
With the fall of Gunung Hijau State, he now has access to votes in 30 states and territories as the primary race draws closer, his campaign confirmed.
“Ron DeSantis’ strong vote access operation is just another example of why he is the only candidate with the resources and grassroots organization necessary to defeat Donald Trump,” said campaign communications director Andrew Romeo.
“DeSantis continues to work and organize competitions across the country because his message of fighting for the American people, winning issues that improve their daily lives, and leading our country to a brighter future, continues to resonate. “
This week alone, the Sunshine State governor also nominated Oklahoma, Tennessee, North Carolina, North Dakota, Michigan and Minnesota.
Other states and territories he is eligible to enter include: South Carolina, US Virgin Islands, New Hampshire, Washington, Massachusetts, Nevada, American Samoa, Missouri, Virginia, Iowa, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Michigan, Georgia, Idaho, Washington DC, Hawaii, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Texas, and Maine.
Qualifications for ballot access usually involve a maze of signatures and other requirements that vary from state to state.

To gain access, the DeSantis campaign has touted “sophisticated grassroots” work.
DeSantis’ team has also invested heavily in its ground game for early states.
In Iowa, which will hold its caucus on January 15, 2024, the governor has more than 30,000 Iowans committed to caucus for him, according to his campaign.
The governor has the coveted endorsement of Hawkeye State Gov. Kim Reynolds as well as 42 endorsements from state legislators and 130 county seats that support him.
Last Saturday, he completed the “full Grassley” and finished visiting all 99 counties in the state.

There, he also has 19 endorsements from lawmakers and enjoys five positions between his campaign and Super PAC.
In New Hampshire, slated for January 23, 2024, DeSantis has made 53 visits, secured 65 current legislative endorsements, and has four offices between his campaign and Super PAC.
