DeSantis's campaign announced it has raised $8.2 million within the first 24 hours of announcing his run for the 2024 White House
Just an hour after announcing his candidacy for the 2024 presidential race, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) raised nearly $1 million in response to vowing donors with the utmost respect when it comes to their hard-earned money.
DeSantis Press secretary Bryan Griffin said that the governor's "Great American Comeback" campaign was accumulating millions the day following his big announcement on Twitter with Elon Musk.
>>"There was so much enthusiasm for Governor DeSantis' vision for our Great American Comeback that he literally busted up the internet. Washington is next," Griffin tweeted. "$1 million raised online in one hour … and counting!"
According to his campaign site, DeSantis promises donors there will be “no smoke and mirrors, no fake matches, and no lies.”
>>“Our donors are part of our team; they are NOT our personal piggy bank,” the site reads, adding that they pledge to treat low-dollar donors with respect and have no tricks up the campaign’s sleeves to get Americans to donate more than they can afford.
>>“A lot of campaigns try to guilt trip or mislead you into a donation. Frankly, it is dishonest, and it is not us,” DeSantis’s donor site continues. “That is why you will never receive a solicitation from this campaign that promises a fake match or degrades you for not donating.”
