CONCORD, N.H. — Wednesday was a good day for Rick Perry.
The Texas governor, who is facing new questions about turmoil within his mistake-prone presidential campaign, was repeatedly interrupted by applause as he delivered a booming speech to the New Hampshire House of Representatives.
“He looked and sounded presidential,” said Josh Davenport, a Republican state representative from Newmarket. “It left me more confident in his abilities.”
But Perry faces new questions about a staff shake-up and fundraising struggles. Staffers privately cite internal finger- pointing. And Perry himself acknowledges a shift among his senior staff, even while denying a report that he has demoted his top political strategist and campaign manager.
“The best I can tell, everybody’s working hard and getting the work done,” Perry told reporters after a New Hampshire campaign stop earlier in the week.
