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.

I hope so because trump has been unnecessary vicious towards DeSantis.
You know you probably ruined DeSantis for 2028 as well. I’m sure you couldn’t be more thrilled with yourself.
You are a CINO
It’s the Botrim of the 1st.
Don’t worry. If/when Trump losses in 2024 we will be rid of all these sycophants. They may still be on this site, but they will be totally irrelevant. They are cult members worthy only of our scorn and laughter.
I rather doubt one FReeper has ruined Ron’s 2028 prospects.
People around here are acting ridiculous.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
DeSantis must stay in Florida. It hangs by a thread.
Oh cmon, “only person qualified to understand dem corruption”? Then why isn’t he still President. Even if he did understand, he has proven to be 1, and unfortunately the most important 1, that doesn’t have a clue what to do about it. He complained for 5 years, ran on draining the swamp and they still walked out onto the play ground and pulled down the pants of the most powerful person in the world. Seriously read what you are writing. Precisely cause he DIDN’T understand is why he lost and his lack of ability to communicate the fact of corruption to his own appointees sealed his fate.
I can’t help it.
Shh. Don’t tell anybody. IT’s voices in my head.🤡🤡🤡🤡
Meatball has done good things in FLA.
Much easier to get things done with Both FLA State Houses and A Governor
Controlled by Republicans
He should stay in FLA and continue to do good things.
Trump had both houses of congress. How’d that work out? Nothing is guaranteed. You need leadership to ensure your agenda is passed.
i read that article word for word, and only a small part was from rolling stone ... brietbart wrote the majority of the article using their own sources ...
