DeSantis Funding Problems.
“Former Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner was among Ron DeSantis’ biggest boosters during the 2022 midterm election, giving nearly $1 million to his reelection bid. But as he has surveyed the field of GOP candidates for president, Rauner — a wealthy former private equity executive who was DeSantis’ fifteenth biggest donor in last year’s election — has not given any more money to the Florida governor. Rauner told POLITICO he thinks another candidate, former U.N Ambassador Nikki Haley, has a better shot of defeating President Joe Biden than DeSantis.”
The Ron DeSantis constant culture war does not seem to be catching on outside of the boundaries of the state of Florida. If running on culture wars is the game plan what happens if the war is won? What if women’s rights, minority rights and LGBTQ rights are turned back 50 years, then what? I think even his most ardent supporters are asking those questions and deciding that racist and anti-gay, anti-woke policies are not a Presidential launching pad. They play well at the state level, particularly in Florida that has been trending red but not in other regions of the country.
