Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is becoming more popular with Republican donors, just as former President Donald Trump appears to be losing favor with them.
The presumed 2024 candidates both have fundraising committees that assist in their election efforts. DeSantis’ raised a whopping $45 million in the first 6 months of 2022, while Trump’s raised $36 million – the first six-month stretch since his presidency ended that it raised less than $50 million.
Trump’s fundraising ability appears to be falling as his presidency slowly fades from the minds of Republican voters and supporters, and the Jan. 6 committee’s investigation into his actions continue apace.
In contrast with his $36 million haul this year, Trump raised more than $56 million in the first 6 months of 2021, and another $51 million in the last 6 months of the year.
The dip in donations to Trump could potentially play a role in when the former president announced another run for the White House, whose launch he has signaled is imminent.

Nobody is fooled. The people want Trump.
Republican governor of a “purple” state (and the third largest in terms of population, after California and Texas). Of the electable Republicans, he seems the best positioned to hold on to Trump supporters, while keeping the traditional Republican base in line and winning enough others to the election.
Trump running in 2024 creates the danger of the Democrats not only keeping the White House and both houses of Congress, but feeling free to interpret the Republican’s failure to oust them, even if by a tiny margin, as a mandate for everything woke they have ever dreamed of. This is terrifying to the Republicans.
If Trump wins primaries – Biden will actually have a chance.
the Mob walks too closely with this one…..I don’t trust anyone who bows to one group of peoples and then stabs them in the back….no different than a cartell
