DeSantis Faces Massive Opposition Research and Super PAC Funding.

Democrats have released 500 pages of opposition research on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, compiled by American Bridge 21st Century, in an effort to brand him as a "MAGA extremist" and convince voters that he is unfit for office. The research covers DeSantis' record on various issues, including abortion, election denialism, crime, Ukraine, and the economy. DeSantis has been polling second in the 2024 presidential race, but has insisted that his focus will be on running against President Biden, not former President Trump.

DeSantis Super PAC Raises $30 Million for 2024 Bid Despite Opposition Database Launch

American Bridge 21st Century, a Democratic Super PAC, has launched an opposition research hub targeting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is considering a 2024 presidential bid. The "Ron DeSantis Research Book" compiles existing reporting on the governor's views and record on various issues, including abortion, entitlement programs, education, COVID-19, and the economy, as well as his past comments on the legitimacy of elections and former President Donald Trump. The site will also include information on DeSantis' record as a federal prosecutor. DeSantis is viewed as a formidable potential challenger to Trump, but national polls show Trump with a healthy lead over DeSantis and other potential challengers for the 2024 GOP nomination.

"Trump's Opposition File and Campaign Questions"

Donald Trump's team and allied PAC are preparing an extensive opposition research file on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, poring over his record as a prosecutor, member of Congress, and governor. They plan to accuse him of being an "extremely lenient prosecutor" in cases involving child pornography. Trump's team has conducted focus groups and looked at polling to hone in on the best messaging to take on DeSantis. The preparations are the latest sign of a bruising primary fight to come, one that could make the 2016 primary fireworks look tame in comparison.
