According to a recent news article from Fox News, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis played a key role in helping to haul in $4.3 million in funds for the Republican Party. DeSantis attended a fundraiser held at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, where he delivered a speech that was well-received by the attendees. DeSantis is a rising star within the Republican Party and has been touted as a potential presidential candidate in the 2024 election.
DeSantis' fundraising efforts come as the Republican Party seeks to regain control of the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections. The party is hoping to capitalize on the popularity of figures like DeSantis and Trump, who have built a strong base of support among conservative voters. However, DeSantis' ties to Trump could also prove to be a liability for the party, as many voters remain divided over the former president's role in the 2020 election and the Capitol riot that took place on January 6th. Nonetheless, DeSantis' ability to raise substantial amounts of money for the Republican Party demonstrates his influence within the party and his potential as a major player in national politics.
