A super PAC created to boost Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ likely 2024 presidential bid has raised more than $30 million since launching in early March.
Never Back Down PAC says most of the money was raised organically from small and large donors.
“Never Back Down has seen a massive surge in support for the movement to make Gov. DeSantis … President DeSantis,” said Erin Perrine, the PAC’s spokeswoman.
Mr. DeSantis is seen as a leading candidate for the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination. The Florida governor raised more than $200 million for his landslide reelection bid last year.
Fresh polls in Iowa and New Hampshire show Mr. DeSantis running strongly against former President Donald Trump.
Mr. Trump is not taking Mr. DeSantis lightly. A super PAC associated with ex-commander-in-chief is running ads in Florida dinging Mr. DeSantis for having voted for budgets that cut Social Security and Medicare when he was a member of Congress.
