’ presidential run asked deep-pocketed donors last week to contribute $50 million more to help the Republican candidate overtake former President Donald Trump as the GOP front-runner — warning that DeSantis had just two months to do so.
Most of the contributions were needed before the second GOP debate on Sept. 27, he added, to help the 44-year-old Florida governor separate from the other Republican candidates and to pull ahead of Trump, who Roe warned would both lose to President Biden in a rematch of the 2020 election and kill Republican chances of retaking the Senate.
Reps for Pence and Haley did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesman for Scott declined to comment. He also quipped that he would be willing to collect checks from the donors in the TSA line at the Milwaukee airport, saying the effort to elect DeSantis “doesn’t run on, you know, fumes.”
Reps for Never Back Down and the DeSantis campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Never Back Down has aggressively spent money on ground operations for the governor, but is barred from officially coordinating with the DeSantis campaign.
