Days after sending two planeloads of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis flew 1,000 miles across the country to speak to voters in a Kansas hotel ballroom.
OLATHE, Kan. - Days after sending two planeloads of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis flew 1,000 miles across the country to speak to voters in a Kansas hotel ballroom.
“He’s not backing down, and that’s one of the things I appreciate about him,” said Bill Burns, 60, of Olathe. DeSantis, 44, became the national face of resistance to COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates. He has taken the lead on hot-button cultural issues such as the teaching of race relations and gender identity in public schools.
More than $70 million of DeSantis' total has come from out of state, according to the site’s analysis. He has collected checks from several ultra-wealthy donors, including hotelier and space exploration entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, who contributed $10 million in July, and hedge fund manager Kenneth Griffin, who gave $5 million last year.Trump, 76, has long been considered the favorite for the Republican nomination should he run again.
"We think he's the guy," Backer said. "I love Trump - I think Trump was a fantastic president. But that's not what we're about. We're about getting Ron DeSantis to run and electing him so we beat Joe Biden and save our country." “He's clearly catching the president's ire along the way, but I would argue that he should just tread lightly but definitely continue to tread," Thomas said.
