MIAMI — The Ron DeSantis donor event at a luxury Miami hotel brought an unwelcome amenity: noisy protesters outside denouncing the Republican presidential candidate.
“All of us against DeSantis,” a row of people people sang while snaking through a Brickell Avenue sidewalk across from the Four Seasons Miami, where the Florida governor’s campaign team was launching his fundraising push for the GOP nomination. “Take him down, take him down, take him down.”
The turnout of more than 100 people for the demonstration offered the first glimpse of what a DeSantis presidential campaign might register in terms of protests. The candidate himself was not inside but is expected in Miami at some point during the two-day celebration involving some of his biggest fundraisers and donors.
