Which means that after Day One, he raised an average of just over $300,000 a day for the next 36 days of the fundraising quarter.

DeSantis raised $20 million in Q2 despite only being a candidate for six weeks of the reporting period. THE MONEY: On the fundraising front, there is more evidence of a campaign losing momentum. In New Hampshire, where the DeSantis super PAC has stopped running ads, it’s 27 points. The polling in Iowa, where Trump continues to attack DeSantis mercilessly, has been limited, but what we have shows Trump up 24 points. For DeSantis, that number is in the low 20s (polling, not pounds).Įven after his official announcement in May - a moment of maximum exposure that should result in a significant bounce in polling - DeSantis was unable to reach close to his January high.
