Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will host a gathering this weekend for powerful donors and social media influencers. The action raises the possibility of a Republican primary challenge to former President Donald Trump in 2024.
On May 24 and 25, Governor DeSantis called a meeting, which might go on for longer. Top supporters of DeSantis will receive a pre-briefing before the event. According to a source who received an invitation and spoke with Fox News, DeSantis’ officials have asked participants to save these days on their calendars.
According to Reuters, “DeSantis will likely file paperwork declaring his candidacy on May 25 to coincide with a donor meeting in Miami, with a more formal launch the week of May 29, according to a source.”
DeSantis can interact with potential donors to provide them with information about his 2024 goals without explicitly collecting donations, despite campaign finance laws prohibiting him from doing so until he launches his candidacy.
Following a number of key recent developments, DeSantis’ 2024 presidential campaign start is very likely. His political team moved to new offices, his old press secretary joined his political team, and he severed links with his long-standing political state committee in order to adhere to federal campaign funding laws are a few examples. The meeting with donors scheduled for next week will cover these developments.
As he gears up for an anticipated presidential run, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is making news after inviting a small group of around 150 affluent Republican contributors and conservative social media influencers to a three-day event at the Four Seasons resort in Palm Beach. According to a source who requested to remain unnamed, DeSantis’ team has been actively recruiting these people lately. For developments on this story, keep checking back.
Trump has recently intensified his criticism of DeSantis and used social media to question DeSantis’ assertion that he is responsible for Florida’s economic prosperity, which is a key component of DeSantis’ potential campaign approach.
At a gathering in West Palm Beach, Trump referred to DeSantis as his “enemy” and underlined the importance of going after opponents right away. DeSantis, however, is not reluctant to return the favor.
The political team of Governor Ron DeSantis set itself apart from former President Donald Trump on Wednesday after winning the support of 99 Florida state legislators.

“Ron DeSantis’s support among Republicans in the Florida legislature is nearly universal due to their collaboration in passing the most comprehensive conservative agenda in the state’s history,” a senior official from DeSantis’ political organization told Fox News Digital. Florida now leads in all major measures thanks to this accomplishment.
The use of the phrase “nearly universal” by the official was a direct allusion to a previous remark made by former President Trump in April. After earning support from over half of Florida’s Republican congressional delegation at the time, Trump had stated at the time that he had “almost universal” support in the state.
99 out of the 113 Republican lawmakers in Florida have publicly endorsed Governor Ron DeSantis, constituting a sizable majority. It’s interesting to note that only one lawmaker supported former president Donald Trump.
DeSantis has a sizable following in the state legislature, despite the fact that he has not yet declared his candidacy for president. However, he currently has just one endorsement.
