DeSantis raises $8m in 24 hrs for presidential campaign.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Raises $8.2 Million in First 24 Hours of Presidential Campaign

Hold onto your hats, folks! Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has shattered records by raising a jaw-dropping $8.2 million in the first 24 hours of his presidential campaign. That’s right, you read that correctly – $8.2 million! This impressive feat surpasses the $6.3 million raised by President Joe Biden on the first day of his campaign ahead of the 2020 election.

The DeSantis campaign has stated that the total sum includes donations and funds raised through Ron-o-Rama, a meeting of Republican donors at the Four Seasons in Miami, as well as online donations and fundraisers. This high amount of donations will aid in financing a demanding political schedule as he is set to begin travelling and campaigning across the country.

Super PACs and Campaign Dead on Arrival Claims

But wait, there’s more! Never Back Down, a super PAC backing DeSantis, is expected to have a budget of around $200 million, half of which will be dedicated for voter turnout and strategies for the ground game. The PAC claims that they have already begun conducting their door-to-door campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire. On the other hand, Make America Great Again Inc., a super PAC supporting former President Donald Trump, said that DeSantis “was still not able to raise enough money to make up for his botched campaign launch.” A spokesperson for the PAC, Alex Pfieiffer, said that DeSantis’ track record makes his “campaign dead on arrival.”

Expert Opinions

What do the experts have to say about all of this? According to CBS News, founder of venture capital firm 8VC Joe Lonsdale, agreed that these donations will help DeSantis “establish momentum” and “accelerate the ground game” in certain states. DeSantis has now cast himself into a Republican Presidential race that has so far been led and dominated by Trump. Most experts agree that the Republican nomination race is primarily a “two-man” race between Trump and DeSantis, however, Trump is still in the lead according to recent polls.
