“DeSantis’s first network interview will take place amid questions about the strength of his candidacy, ongoing attacks from the former president, and as he attempts to shift from campaigning as an incumbent governor to an insurgent candidate,” a statement from NBC News reads.
Casey, the First Lady of Florida, has been on the receiving-end of criticism over some of her public stances, such as education and parental rights in the Sunshine State, all-the-while continuing in a reported role as a main adviser to the White House hopeful.

The DeSantis team also came under scrutiny in for its recent firing of more than two dozen staffers, in addition to the shake-ups among some of its top leadership brass.
DeSantis, as it stands, steadily trails behind leading Republican front-runner, former President Donald Trump, according to recent polling.
