Strong polling for GovRonDeSantis in Virginia is getting attention from Republicans and Democrats alike, with some using the Florida governor’s high numbers for their own benefit in campaign fundraising ads.
Sen. Tim Kaine , who is running for reelection in the blue state of Virginia, cited DeSantis’s strong polling in a fundraising email sent to supporters on Friday, warning voters that “Democrats can’t afford to lose here.” The polling shows DeSantis tied with President Joe Biden in a hypothetical matchup in 2024, indicating Virginia could emerge as a key battleground state for the presidency.
The email asks supporters to donate to Kaine’s reelection campaign as the two-term senator builds a grassroots coalition across Virginia to elect Biden and other Democrats down the ballot. “Thank you for anything you can give,” the email reads. “The polls are clear — we cannot afford not to invest every penny we can into Virginia.”Kaine is running for reelection in a contest that is expected to lean heavily Democratic in 2024, according to the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.
The fundraising plea comes as DeSantis is expected to announce his presidential bid next week, joining a crowded field of contenders fighting for the GOP nomination. Former President Donald Trump leads the group in polling so far, but DeSantis is expected to emerge as his top challenger over the coming months.
