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.

hah, sorry, he is pretty much a Jeb who is overshadowed by his aggressive wife.
Couldn't find "the newest ad" and I'm interested. You have to do better with links than that, it has to be click and there is the ad. I couldn't even find the old ad. But maybe I'm stupid.
What does that have to do with $20 million in six weeks? All I've heard is the drumbeat that Ron's campaign is dead, dead, dead. Looks like it has a heartbeat to me, EVEN by Trump's measure of things.
“He owed no fealty to Trump and Trump sure showed no respect to him.”
It’s interesting to replace the word, “Trump”, with “Florida voters”. RD goes into the same bucket as Pence. The Traitor Bucket.
OK, I found it on another thread, and it is a great ad. No doubt who that ad is crafted for and it will reach an audience out of Trump's reach unfortunately. But most still won't admit it. Most of us in Georgia get by now though.
Here is the ad: DeSantis new ad. Give it a watch.
What would have caused a normal man who had just been re-elected Governor of Florida to run for President at this time rather than fulfilling the mandate he had just sought & was given?
There is no normal about it only a desire for influence, power, money, guided by hubris. DeSantis has placed personal ambition above the welfare of the Country & shall inherit the wind.
It is called information warfare. Each side lies about the other.
The Grift must go on.
No chance at winning, but the cash flow must continue.
Do you have any idea what Hookers & Blow cost these days?
Didn’t Jeb Bush spend $150 MILLION to get 3 delegates? I think he also had lots of big name backers as well. Wasn’t Jeb also a governor of Florida?

When called out on this hogwash, the RDS campaign had to clarify that 82 million was transferred into RDS Governor campaign into his Pres campaign.
This is the kind of dishonesty that actually hurts RDS rather than helping him.
Just be honest. I know it is hard when you hire jackasses to run your campaign.
Watched it, the voice tone was not convincing, unsure of themselves.
If Ron really wanted to support mom’s he would have been deporting illegals not just sending them to other states where they can make
Problems for other moms/people.
Governors have the obligation to step up against unconstitutional laws of Fed govt, that means if prez isnt securing borders and deporting illegals then governors should do it or at least contain them. Not spread them further into the country as if that helps anyone. Desantis is Rino clown entertaining those who care to be entertained. Should he get a spine and actually lead his state properly i would maybe take him seriously. But he has many political friends who want the demise of our constitution/country.
Deep State and RINO establishment dollars. Means little to conservative voters who smell the globalist stench wafting from Tallahassee.
If he were a clear conservative as you say, why is is wasting money sending illegals further into the usa instead of deporting them? As Governor he has the ability to protect his citizens. Shipping illegals somewhere else means they can come back. Deporting and stepping up to do the jobthe Fed govt is neglecting to do would be the proper choice of someone trying to abide by our constitution.
Why you giving him a pass on poor handling of illegals for years? How will that get better as he allows the thumbs of His leaders who want US Citizens taxed to death to pay for illegals living here and bringing more?
Or maybe here:
All the money in the world did not end up with trump taking the oath in January 2021. Your right money can’t even buy another presidential term. Sad.
No voters? Holy crap I missed the election.
No. We are just sick of the rapist.
Where does Rhonda come from? Are you a transgender supporter? I don’t get the support for transgender right especially on Free Republic. I’m surprised to see you go to the dark side of sexual living.
God forbid someone challenges the king.
