DeSantis Netting Large Cash Haul From Trump's Circle of Big-Money Donors

Only time will tell if Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis throws his proverbial hat into the ring for the 2024 presidential race.
But that hasn’t stopped some of the wealthiest Republican donors from kick-starting DeSantis’ unofficial campaign for the nation’s highest office — some of whom remain active financial boosters for former President Donald Trump.
According to a Politico report, a DeSantis-aligned political committee, Friends of Ron DeSantis, has received $3.4 million this election cycle from 10 donors who also earmarked $24 million for Trump’s reelection bid in 2020.
In all, citing the same Politico piece, DeSantis’ fundraising arm for Florida’s gubernatorial election in November has raised more than $100 million — a record-setting pace for a single election cycle within the state.
