DeSantis to Host Fundraiser for Trump in Florida and Texas

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is reportedly planning to fundraise for former President Donald Trump in the near future, a move that aligns with his commitment to support Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential nomination race. Sources familiar with the matter shared that DeSantis has begun reaching out to donors and is coordinating a fundraising schedule that may include events in Florida and Texas.

DeSantis is demonstrating his willingness to mend political ties with Trump, despite previous tensions between them. By leveraging his fundraising network, DeSantis could potentially benefit from this alliance if he decides to run for president in the future.

Roy Bailey, a former co-chairman of DeSantis’ national finance committee, expressed confidence in DeSantis’ leadership and suggested that donors would likely support him in his efforts to raise funds for Trump. Bailey emphasized the value of targeting past DeSantis donors who have not yet contributed to Trump’s campaign.

DeSantis’ team has not provided any official comments on this fundraising initiative at this time.

Following a successful reelection in 2022, DeSantis emerged as a potential contender for future political races. His previous fundraising efforts, including raising over $183 million for his 2022 presidential campaign, showcase his ability to attract substantial financial support.
