President Donald Trump thanked Gov. Ron DeSantis for supporting him during a donor event hosted by the governor, raising over $3 million to benefit Trump’s 2024 campaign, Florida’s Voice has learned.
The former president called into the Fort Lauderdale event and thanked DeSantis and the couple dozen supporters for their investment into his campaign efforts.
The funding is going to Right For America, a super political action committee, a source familiar with the event told Florida’s Voice. A super PAC is technically separate from the campaign, and the organization supports Trump’s bid for presidency this year.
Trump emphasized during a call with DeSantis that raising funds for the PAC is where he wants the governor to “focus” his time, the AP reported.
“Ron, I love that you’re back,” Trump said Thursday over the phone during the event, according to sources reported by the Associated Press.
The AP reported that the arrangement of funds to the super PAC, rather than directly to Trump, was set up to relieve worries that the money would simply pay the former president’s legal bills.
Sergio Gor, CEO of Right for America PAC, told Florida’s Voice the group is “thrilled” at DeSantis’ efforts.
“We look forward to ensuring President Donald Trump is elected in November,” Gor said.
Robert J. Salvador, a DeSantis donor and vocal online supporter of the governor, weighed in on the fundraising news in exclusive comments to Florida’s Voice.
“I’m not surprised at all. DeSantis recently said he would fundraise for Trump at an event with his close donors and supporters,” Salvador said. “He’s a man of his word, when he says he’s going to do something he does it, just like he did in Florida with everything from School Choice to Protecting Children.”
“This is definitely a good thing for the GOP and the USA. When the 2 best players in sports come together, they win championships. Same thing here,” he said. “Trump and DeSantis are the leaders of the party and best positioned to save America.”
“It was also great to see Trump address some of the concerns from DeSantis’ donors about use of funds and allow the raise to happen with a PAC. Very strategic of Trump,” Salvador said.
Sounds like a smart way for the monies be spent on reelection. DeSantis is incredibly smart and selfless.
congratulations... you just proved why the republicants will always be losers... you people keep eating each other instead of focusing on defeating the demonrats... fr is the poster child for this losing strategy... fr used to be a welcoming and informative site for conservatives... what happened?...
The LOSER would be you, majoring in minor things, like comments on FR, instead of major things.
He’s right, you and others spend more time criticizing and sniping at Republicans than you do helping Trump.
But I’m not the most poplar Governor in America.
The most poplar Governor in the Country can only raise $3 Million?
What a joke.
The big problem for Ron DeSantis has always been his reliance on big donors. And most of the big donors have already moved to Trump. Hence only $3m. And Trump raises $50m. The stories on Ron’s ability to raise big money for Trump may have been greatly exagerated. But keep going, Ron, prove us wrong.
thanks again for proving why republicants will always be losers...
Well, he’s got time to think over the errors he made and could be considered for VP by Don Jr. in four years.
excuses excuses
I’m glad to see this-I hope more repub come over to stand united-it is certainly a better deterrent to dem votes than whining like Liz, Romney and other RINOs. And campaign money is good, too. BTW-I think you meant to say “shuck and Jive”-as in misleading/deceptive talk and actions...
Losers? You mean like the The Chairman of the Arizona Republican GOP who was out there attempting to commit election fraud by manipulating elections when he tried to bribe Kari Lake to stay out of politics? I understand it was a huge cash bribe.
Jumping right back on those coat tails.
this conversation is about trashing ron desantis... thanks for bringing the other republicants accomplishments to our attention...
DeSantis? Oh, ya mean that rotten backstabber Trump endorsed who’s now trying to give Trump a tongue bath?
trump backstabbed desantis... get your facts straight...
Let me see if I got this right Mr. heavy mental...Trump stabbed DeSantos in the back, and now DeSantos is collecting money for Trump because he such a nice understanding, caring and forgiving person. Right?
??
trump trashed desantis and his governing of florida while trump lives in the free state of florida... that has hypocrisy written all over it...
Instead of evading the question, answer it!
desantis is attempting to unite the republicants... unlike you... get your sh*t together and stop destroying each other...
Backstabber DeSantos is going to unite the Republican party...And he's doing this by being Trump's good trusted friend and bringing him money and gifts!
