Florida Governor Ron DeSantis‘ presidential campaign raised more money in its first quarter than former President Donald Trump’s current campaign raised in its first two quarters combined, according to newly released data.

The DeSantis campaign announced that it raised $20 million in its first six weeks, which it boasted was “the largest first-quarter filing from any non-incumbent Republican candidate in more than a decade.”

“It bests the $18.3 million former president and quasi-incumbent Donald Trump’s campaign raised during its first two fundraising quarters as a candidate ($3.8 in Q4 2022 and $14.5 in Q1 2023),” the campaign added.

All of the aforementioned figures only include money donated to each candidate’s individual campaigns and not their allied fundraising committees.

The campaign must be desperate to boost this about and draw attention to exactly who is donating.

When you being in tons of money and no voters, it’s a clear case of the Establishment vs. the People.

DeSantis needs the money to get recognized and produce ads. Everyone knows and has an opinion formed on Trump already.

Hillary had all the money in the world and still lost. Money isn't everything.

Like Trump, he has donations from the general public, as well as from the wealthy. Partial names and amounts scroll down the screen on his campaign website.

The People’s President – Trump Campaign Raises $35 Million, With Average Contribution $34.20
The Last Refuge, Jul 6, 2023

According to Trump campaign officials talking to Politico about recent fundraising, in the second quarter of this year the Trump campaign raised $35 million with an average contribution of $34.20 per donor. Doing the math, that’s over a million small donors, average Americans, supporting President Trump.

This level of small donor fundraising reminds us of the summer of 2016 when former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus first saw the scale of small donors for President Trump and suddenly realized no political candidate before him had ever assembled such a massive level of grassroots support. Many of those donors contributing for the first time in their lives.

The reality of the “people’s president” is inside this jaw-dropping data-point. While all other candidates need to fundraise from the grass roots only to water down the scale of the big donors behind them, President Trump builds his political empire from the bottom up.

Florida Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has the backing of the Wall Street, billionaires and hedge fund managers, a select small group of very affluent donors with massive financial resources.

They’ve done well. Historic. Now, will they use it with equal success?

It’s a lie. $80 million was transferred from his governors reelection campaign funds to this new presidential pack. Need to subtract 80 million from his total.

Yes, $35 million in THREE MONTHS compared to $20 million in SIX WEEKS.

And probably a similar mix of donors once that data is released.

Good for DeSantis. However, People forget that The Donald benefits from his rallies and tweets which continues to build his brand. He’s in the news 24/7. The others do not have those marketing characteristics.

And “Please clap” had no energy and other problems, like being a Bush. DeSantis is no Jeb! and Trump supporters fool themselves thinking he is.
