The sum includes online donations and money raised by fundraisers at a gathering in Miami to dial for contributions, DeSantis' campaign confirmed.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has raised a record $8.2 million in the first 24 hours after announcing his 2024 presidential campaign, as he barrels toward an expensive and combative primary led by former President Donald Trump.
In Miami on Thursday, DeSantis"bundlers," or fundraisers who could collect money from a network of contacts, asked donors for a federal maximum donation of $3,300 for use during the primary election, and a maximum donation of the same amount for the general election, for a total of $6,600. Donors could also make the maximum pledge amounts through the DeSantis campaign website, though it is mostly expected to help raise smaller funds.
"Governor DeSantis has built the strongest, most sophisticated organization in the history of American politics, and the tremendous support we've experienced in the last 24 hours will be critical as we hit the ground running in the early nominating states to share Governor DeSantis' plan to revitalize the American Spirit," DeSantis campaign manager Generra Peck wrote in a statement.
"Once they got going, once we got through the several 100,000 people in the waiting room there that crashed Twitter, which is kind of an exciting moment, people were pretty excited," said Brandon Rosner, a bundler from Milwaukee that supported Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaigns.
