The Florida governor is the Republican primary opponent who coup-attempting Donald Trump appears to fear the most.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis has formally entered the 2024 presidential race, after building expectations for nearly a year among Republicans eager to move beyond coup-attempting former US president Donald Trump.
The endpoint for that money is likely the Never Back Down committee, which said it has already raised $30 million on its own. The group has recruited volunteers in multiple states to persuade voters to cast their primary ballots for DeSantis. The New York Timesthat Never Back Down is prepared to spend more than $100 million on voter outreach, with a plan to hire 2,600 field organisers by Labor Day.
DeSantis, 44, was leading in some polls shortly after his 19 percentage point re-election victory was a bright spot for his party as Republicans nationally underperformed expectations. He had already spent months campaigning with Republican candidates around the country and then began a months-long tour to promote his book, with multiple stops in states with early contests in the 2024 GOP calendar.
Further, DeSantis, at least thus far, seems to have based his approach to a presidential bid on pulling away some of Trump’s most loyal supporters rather than trying to consolidate the 60-70% of GOP primary voters who are open to abandoning someone widely seen as likely to lose a general election.
