Uneasiness has been bubbling as DeSantis continues to tap dance around direct questions regarding a 2024 presidential bid.
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” DeSantis told one inquiring reporter in February when asked if he, like former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, would formally jump into the presidential race.
While the general public awaits a formal announcement, Republican megadonors are counting on it. However, the governor — as popular as he was throughout the coronavirus pandemic — is beginning to run into some issues with donors, who are growing more uneasy with the politician, per various reports citing complaints and concerns among major donors.
Rolling Stone, for instance, cites a group chat featuring many of these major donors — verified by the outlet — who expressed dissatisfaction with the way the governor has handled recent issues.
“What the f*** is wrong with RD?” one group member wrote, referencing DeSantis’s response — or lack thereof — to the major flooding in Fort Lauderdale. The governor was noticeably absent, traveling around the country and delivering speeches at the height of the historic issue. That week, he was in Ohio for the Butler County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day event and eventually declared a state of emergency for Broward County.

Tells you all you need to know about whom DeSantis got in bed with.According to Rolling Stone, one group chat participant wanted to know how to best contact DeSantis to “complain.” It also cites other complaints from these top donors, one of which included DeSantis referring to Ukraine as a “territorial dispute.”
“My understanding is that the message was: ‘If we wanted a f**king MAGA candidate, we would donate to Donald Trump,’” a source told the outlet, further demonstrating waning confidence in the governor, as others wish the governor would challenge Trump more directly, as well.

No, this tells me all I need to know about you and other Trumpettes who trust Rolling Stone and other main stream news sources.
They’ll believe anybody who tells them what they want to hear.
It tells me that DeSantis is running the long con on the GOPe while building a campaign chest for 28. And I’ll bet Trump is in on it.
Yo, 2a. Get out while you can!
Your non stop PAID astroturfing is ruining this site .
Trump is the only person qualified to understand the level of corruption the Democrats have embedded in our government and how to blow it up no more Mr. meanTweet he is going to land mine the corruption.
The only is the Con Artist who is a 5 times loser who was a 5 times draft dodger ,
6 times bankruptcy Shark who ruined his vendors and contractors , and Serial Adulterer who paid off the National Inquirer to legally shut up all
his Sleazy Adulteress flings .
Best President of my lifetime.
Same here! Trump is Macho Magnificent!
Opinions are like…
Well, I find this a good sign. These donors are GOPe and, of course, they don’t want a MAGA candidate. They’ve spent 8 years aligning with Democrat fascists communicating that fact. Believe them.
I’m for President Trump 47/2024.
So, I’m a bit leery that this is all political theater to signal there’s serious difference between DeSanctis and the GOPe that’s of the MAGA principles.
I’ll be curious to see how this progresses.
“all his Sleazy Adulteress flings .”
Of whom do you speak? She sounds like a lulu.
Other GOP donors are more forthcoming with their complaints. Top Republican donor billionaire Thomas Peterffy, founder of Interactive Brokers, told the Financial Times that he has put support for DeSantis “on hold.” Others, he said, have done the same. “Because of his stance on abortion and book banning . . . myself, and a bunch of friends, are holding our powder dry,” he said.Once again, it tells you everything you need to know about the scum that DeSantis got into bed with.
DeSantis, however, has spent significant time debunking the “book ban hoax,” holding a press conference in March overtly showcasing some of the material found in school libraries — some of which contained pornographic material that reportedly prompted some media outlets to cut their feeds during the presentation.
No republican wins a national election until they figure out what the democrats did in 2020 and 2022 and what they plan to do in 2024.
Thanks. You just listed two perfect reasons why we should support DeSantis.
According to this Peterffy fellow, he does not support DeSantis because DeSantis is anti-abortion.
And because DeSantis wants to rid our school libraries of porn.
Are you actually reading what you’re posting?
Don’t go away mad, Ron. Just go away.
You beat me to that statement. This is the media trying their hardest to spread lies and distrust among the Republicans. Reading some of these FR responses, I would guess it is working.
FREEPERS and Trump ruined a good man. I guess they really hate what DeSantis is doing in Florida. Oh well….
