Florida Gov. DeSantis is in such high demand that donors are lining up to give him money, allowing him to set a target at the level of a sitting president.
It's going to cost a lot to get Ron DeSantis to show up in person to collect political checks: about $1 million.
Organizers of a spring fundraising event for DeSantis in a mid-size city have been told to collect $1 million, according to a person familiar with the planning.The figures may be less consequential than the political truth they represent. DeSantis is in such high demand that donors are lining up to give him money rather than waiting for him to beg for it, allowing him to set a bar at the level of a sitting president or vice president.
Still, DeSantis, who held a donor retreat last weekend in Palm Beach, has the look of a fundraising juggernaut at this early stage in the process. Longtime political operatives say that such targets are seldom set in stone because it's hard to ensure that everyone who promises to make a contribution actually shows up and writes a check. In practical terms, that means that event organizers try to demonstrate to a politician's aides that they can deliver — usually through their own track records and those of the prospective donors — in order to get on the schedule.
