Ron DeSantis outpaced former President Donald Trump in fundraising during the first half of 2022, new data reportedly shows.<\/p>\n<p>Trump raked in approximately $36 million during the first six months of the year through online donations, a $20 million dollar decline compared to the same period during 2021, Newsweek <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/donald-trump-fundraising-dips-below-ron-desantis-strategist-blames-fatigue-1725229\">reported<\/a>.
