Tech Glitch Doesn’t Stop DeSantis from Tallying Eye-Popping Fundraising Haul in First 24 Hours, Blowing Past Trump and Biden

While he got a lot of static for a glitch-filled campaign debut Wednesday on Twitter, Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis got a lot of campaign cash as well.

The DeSantis campaign said Thursday that it received $8.2 million in donations over the campaign’s first 24 hours.

The New York Times noted that the amount outstripped the $6.3 million President Joe Biden raised in the first 24 hours after he announced his candidacy for the White House in 2019.

Former President Donald Trump raised about $9.5 million in six weeks after announcing his candidacy in November — a number DeSantis is almost certain to surpass.

The most recent 24-hour yardstick for Trump was the $4 million he raised in the first 24 hours after he was indicted by a New York grand jury on felony charges of falsifying business records.

The numbers for DeSantis include online donations and those from bundlers making fundraising calls Thursday.

  1. It’s just soros and other globalist psychopaths in panic mode. The real President has them all petrified and are desperately trying to eliminate him in the primaries and keep him off the ticket.
