Ron DeSantis (R) has raised $100 million in the 2022 election cycle as he gears up to face off against one of his potential Democrat challengers, likely Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL), in this year\u2019s gubernatorial race.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis, the popular Florida governor who has taken the Sunshine State by storm, gaining significant criticism from the establishment media for prioritizing personal liberty throughout the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, has raised an estimated $100 million through Friends of Ron DeSantis, his reelection campaign. According to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>, this figure may have DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/desantis-raises-monster-100-million-for-reelection-campaign\">earning<\/a> the title of the \u201cfirst-ever candidate in the United States to raise more than $100 million only in donations.\u201d However, other outlets point out that former President Donald Trump continues to lead the pack in this area through his Save America PAC.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ballotpedia.org\/2022\/03\/31\/florida-gov-desantis-receives-109-8-million-with-republican-governors-association-as-top-donor\/\">Ballotpedia<\/a>, the Florida governor \u201creceived $109,869,159 in total contributions and spent $13,706,657 between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021,\u201d giving him a massive war chest going into the 2022 election.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cDeSantis continues to be a top draw with the high-end dollar market,\u201d Republican fundraiser and lobbyist David Tamasi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2024-watch-in-the-fundraising-fight-ron-desantis-is-the-100-million-man\">told<\/a> Fox News. \u201cThe trick will be to translate an expected November win into a monopoly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recent polls show DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/03\/poll-rep-charlie-crist-emerges-as-frontrunner-in-floridas-democrat-gubernatorial-primary\/\">crushing<\/a> his potential Democrat challengers by double digits. Rep. Crist, who served as the Sunshine State\u2019s governor from 2007-2011, is leading in the Democrat primary. However, recent surveys show DeSantis soundly defeating his potential challenger by double digits. A late-March Saint Leo University survey, for instance, showed DeSantis leading Crist by 16 percentage points and Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried (D) by 24 points:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"et\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SaintLeoPolls?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SaintLeoPolls<\/a> <br \/>2022 FLORIDA GOVERNOR POLL:<\/p>\n<p>Ron DeSantis (R): 49% (+16)<br \/>Charlie Crist (D): 33%<\/p>\n<p>Ron DeSantis (R): 51% (+24)<br \/>Nikki Fried (D): 27%<\/p>\n<p>Ron DeSantis (R): 49% (+19)<br \/>Annette Taddeo (D): 30%<\/p>\n<p>February 28-March 12 \/ 500 RV<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U9QXHGgKJl\">https:\/\/t.co\/U9QXHGgKJl<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8j7Dgqq4SL\">pic.twitter.com\/8j7Dgqq4SL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IAPolls2022\/status\/1508849180105715720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 29, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis recently made waves after signing the state\u2019s Parental Rights in Education Bill, which bars classroom discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity for children in kindergarten through third grade.
