DeSantis Prepares for Presidential Bid Amidst Controversy and Trump Loyalty.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is set to launch his presidential campaign before the end of June, despite concerns from some donors about his recent performance and Donald Trump's repeated attacks. DeSantis is expected to enter the race with as much money behind him, if not more, than anyone in the race not named Trump, with the intention of breaking fundraising records on the day he enters the race. However, DeSantis' lofty expectations for his presidential candidacy have dramatically leveled off since his commanding reelection victory in Florida last fall, and he faces the challenge of proving he has the fortitude to go the distance and compete with Trump.
