He raised a whopping $8.2 million in the first 24 hours following his campaign announcement, beating President Joe Biden&#8217;s fundraising haul from his campaign launch in 2019. <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s campaign team said that they raised $1 million in just one hour following his announcement on Twitter. In a livestream that was initially plagued by tech glitches, DeSantis laid out his vision for a &#8220;great American comeback.&#8221; The donation haul cements DeSantis&#8217;s position as the leading alternative to former president Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary.<\/p>\n<p>Comparatively, Biden raised $6.3 million in the first day after his announcement in 2019. Trump raised around $9.5 million in the six weeks after his November announcement on his 2024 campaign. He raised another $4 million after his indictment in New York City in February.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis Campaign Plans Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>The DeSantis campaign is earmarking some of the funds for the general election, assuming he wins the nomination, the New York Times reported:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bryan Griffin, a DeSantis spokesman, said the campaign was raising both primary and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-says-he-almost-would-prefer-to-have-the-democrat-win-against-republicans-who-voted-to-impeach-him\/\" title=\"Trump Says He \u2018Almost Would Prefer To Have The Democrat Win\u2019 Against Republicans Who Voted To Impeach Him\">general election funds<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The campaign can raise $3,300 per donor for both the primary and general election.<\/li>\n<li>He declined to say how money was earmarked for use only in the general election, should Mr. DeSantis become the nominee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The sum does not include any of the funds that the pro-DeSantis super PAC, Never Back Down, has raised in recent months into a Draft DeSantis account that can be directly transferred to the campaign, according to Mr. Griffin. It is unclear how much money is in that account.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis vs. NAACP<\/h3>\n<p>The fundraising totals come after a spat between DeSantis and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which warned black Americans against traveling to Florida over &#8220;openly hostile&#8221; policies. DeSantis fired back, noting that board members of the organization have vacationed in his state.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can tell you since I&#8217;ve been governor, some of the people who&#8217;ve contributed to our record tourism have been board members of the NAACP,&#8221; DeSantis said in a Fox News appearance Wednesday night after his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-campaign-selling-dark-brandon-t-shirts-as-merchandise-for-reelection-bid\/\" title=\"Biden campaign selling 'Dark Brandon' T-shirts as merchandise for reelection bid\">2024 presidential announcement<\/a>. &#8220;They put pictures of their Florida vacation on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sickening-video-shows-antifa-allegedly-stab-4-trump-supporters-in-washington-dc\/\" title=\"Sickening Video Shows Antifa Allegedly Stab 4 Trump Supporters in Washington DC\">social media accounts<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ron DeSantis, the Republican presidential candidate, raised $8.2 million within 24 hours of announcing his campaign, surpassing President Joe Biden&#8217;s fundraising record from 2019.
