The Rise and Fall of Ron DeSantis: A Campaign Fund Comparison

Despite recent attacks from Donald Trump and criticism from some fellow Republicans, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis remains a powerful force in the 2024 Republican primary, with a strong fundraising base and significant influence. DeSantis's allies point to his success as governor and recent polls showing him outperforming Trump in hypothetical matchups against President Biden. While Trump remains the front-runner, no other Republican candidate has come close to DeSantis's level of support. DeSantis is expected to formally announce his candidacy later this month or next.
