Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis is scheduled to attend a fundraiser on Cape Cod and make multiple stops in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire this weekend.
The Florida governor's first scheduled stop on the trip is on Saturday at 4 p.m. in Concord, New Hampshire, where he'll meet with members of the New Hampshire Home Builders Association for a "Beer With Builders" event. That night, he's expected to attend a $3,300-per-person fundraiser in Cotuit, Massachusetts. The event is being hosted by several unnamed Massachusetts donors at a private location, according to Politico.

The visit is notable because Cotuit is only a short distance away from Martha's Vineyard, where DeSantis infamously had migrants flown from Florida as part of a campaign stunt earlier this year.
Democratic State Rep. Dylan Fernandes, who represents Martha's Vineyard, sounded off on DeSantis's upcoming visit in a tweet earlier this week.

DeSantis is scheduled to be back in New Hampshire on Sunday, where he'll be the latest GOP presidential hopeful to attend the "No B.S. Backyard BBQ" series at the home of former Sen. Scott Brown and his wife Gail Huff in Rye.
Then on Monday morning, DeSantis is slated to hold a press conference in Rochester. His campaign has not yet revealed the purpose of the event or said where it will be held.
