The DeSantis Super PAC issued an urgent plea to donors that the campaign needs $50 million by the end of the year, during a private meeting on August 23 in Milwaukee right before the last Republican primary debate, according to reports.
During the meeting, chief strategist for the Super PAC, Jeff Roe, told donors, “Now let me tell you a secret — DON’T LEAK THIS,” according to a recording reviewed by the New York Times.
“The day after Labor Day we’re launching and we need your help to stay up and go hard the rest of the way. We need 50 million bucks,” he reportedly said.
“We just need your help getting $50 million more by the end of the year, and $100 million more by the end of March,” he said. “I’m not worried about the second 50. We need the first 50.”
Roe painted the situation as dire, according to the Times’ report.
He said DeSantis needed to beat former President Donald Trump “IN THE NEXT 60 DAYS” and separate from all of his other rivals “now.”
He even told donors that he would meet them in the T.S.A. line at the airport to collect their checks, saying, “This doesn’t run on, you know, fumes.”
“We’re going to go spend this money right now, betting that our donors won’t let us down. And I’ve been let down by donors a lot. And I’ve already lost once to Trump and we can’t do it again,” he said, referencing 2016.

$100m x 15% grifter fee = $15m more for the big guy, Jeff Roe.
Just think of all the money, time, and effort that the democrats, republicans, and media are spending to defeat Trump, it boggles the mind.

Too many people are benefiting from the corrupting in Washington DC.
I think people would open up the wallets just to never again hear Casey do her stand-up routine about her ill-behaved children who have two adults frazzled.
They certainly are tone deaf about Trump SUPPORTERS.
Is that the same Jeff Roe that worked for Lying Ted?
“ we’re launching and we need your help to stay up and go hard the rest of the way”
Really? LOL, for such a wimpy candidate?
Jeb! was a better candidate tbh
Again without trying>Trump Wins Again!
Love it~ ;)
Yep.
And his media companies and axiom strategies got about 1/2 if the spending that the desantis campaign and neverbackdown spent in media buys, about 18 million or so...
And currently, neverbackdown has about 70-100 million in it’s bank, so they want another 150 million for the campaign...
So many of the team desantis people are going to become multi millionaires.
It’s all about the grifting, with team desantis....
Has anyone else noticed that the DeSanctimonious Online Influencers are eerily silent today?

Its like they all got a “stand-down” message from DeSantis Campaign Headquarters!
Meanwhile, Biden has already spent over $500 million of our tax dollars trying to put Trump in prison. I find that far more important than the campaign coffers of any of the candidates.
Returnable beverage cans and bottles. The rounded up change from buying fast food. The coins in the places behind the couch and chair cushions. Sell some clothes on consignment.
He needs the money.
Ronnie’s Campaign can’t afford to pay the Online Influencers here anymore.
I'm guessing even DeSantis wants this over by now ...
