Ron DeSantis, capitalizing on his rising star status, is embarking on a major out-of-state fundraising effort.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/states\/florida\/story\/2021\/06\/07\/desantis-cashes-in-on-rising-star-status-with-big-money-blitz-1385334\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a> noted that DeSantis will use the fundraising swing to raise money for his reelection efforts and cultivate a national donor network that could propel a prospective presidential run in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican governor is set to host a half-dozen reelection fundraisers this week in southern California. His stops will include fundraisers in Los Angeles, San Diego, Irvine,\u00a0and Manhattan Beach. He is also scheduled \u00a0to appear in Las Vegas for a big bucks event.<\/p>\n<p>Politico said\u00a0that in the weeks ahead, DeSantis is also expected to make a fundraising tour through the Northeast.<\/p>\n<p>The outlet noted Republican Party donors have praised him for his anti-coronavirus lockdown policies, while looking for the next generation of party leaders.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;DeSantis is very smart to use his reelection and his national ascendancy to travel the country, raising money and building a network that could serve him well in 2022 and beyond,&#8221; said Scott Jennings, a former top political adviser for President George W. Bush. &#8220;Circumstances are coming together for him quite nicely, and his operation appears agile enough to understand it all and take advantage of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Republican donors are treating DeSantis as a national figure, according to Politico. Invites to a Thursday\u00a0fundraiser, co-hosted by former San Diego County GOP Chairman Tony Krvaric and real estate investor Cathy Herrick, call DeSantis &#8220;America\u2019s Governor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Those invited are being asked to donate as much as $100,000.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The interest is sky-high and we expect a very successful visit,&#8221; Krvaric said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Politico,\u00a0a recent event in Kentucky raised about $300,000 for his reelection bid<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just felt he was a perfect fit to come into Kentucky, especially with the group that we had,&#8221; said GOP megadonor Kelly Craft. &#8220;A lot of the folks have places in Florida and the reception was amazing.\u00a0This is a guy who has a national name but at the same time is focused on Floridians.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump said Monday he\u2019d consider \u00a0DeSantis as a 2024 running mate.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on the Fox Business Network show &#8220;Varney &#038; Co.,&#8221;\u00a0Trump said \u00a0&#8220;there are numerous people that are great&#8221; for the No. 2 spot on the ticket \u2014\u00a0but quickly said &#8220;sure,&#8221; when asked about a possible run with DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/politics\/trump-desantis-2024\/2021\/06\/07\/id\/1024191\/\">certainly consider Ron<\/a>,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I was at the beginning of Ron. I\u00a0was the first one to endorse him\u00a0when he came out as a\u00a0congressman that a lot of people\u00a0didn&#8217;t know and my endorsement\u00a0helped him tremendously and I\u00a0know him very well.\u00a0He&#8217;s a great guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
