MIAMI — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign announced Thursday that it raised $20 million in the first six weeks of his candidacy.
Meanwhile, Never Back Down, the main super PAC supporting DeSantis’ White House bid, said that it pulled in a staggering $130 million since its launch in early March, adding a massive amount of financial power to DeSantis’ presidential ambitions. Both fundraising totals were first reported Thursday by Fox News.
The combined financial windfall — amounting to $150 million — illustrates how DeSantis and his allies have maintained a breakneck fundraising pace throughout the opening weeks of his campaign, even as his chief opponent in the Republican primary, former President Donald Trump, continues to dominate in public polling.
