Thank you @CaseyDeSantis for meeting with IL parents. Excellent discussion.
While we were literally forced to sue Gov Pritzker for violating our children’s rights, we’re so grateful @GovRonDeSantis stands for families & freedom.

Now, let’s compare these remarkable fundraising numbers to former President Donald Trump. While Trump claimed to have raised $35 million between April and June in the second quarter of political fundraising, it’s important to note that this falls short of DeSantis’ outstanding $20 million in just six weeks. It’s clear that DeSantis is the fundraising powerhouse that conservatives have been waiting for.
The numbers don’t lie, folks. DeSantis is outpacing Trump when it comes to fundraising. Not only did DeSantis raise more money in his first quarter than Trump did in his first two quarters as a candidate, but he also brought in an impressive $8.2 million within the first 24 hours of his campaign launch. That’s more money than most people will ever see in their lifetime!
But it’s not just about the money. DeSantis’ wife, Casey DeSantis, is also playing a vital role in his campaign. She has joined her husband on the campaign trail and is connecting with voters as part of the Mamas for DeSantis initiative. This program proved to be crucial in DeSantis’ successful reelection as governor last November, and it’s clear that it will be a key component of his presidential campaign as well.
While DeSantis may currently be in second place behind Trump in the polls, it’s important to remember that polls can change and are often biased. The current RealClearPolitics (RCP) numbers may show Trump with a significant lead, but DeSantis is gaining traction and has the potential to be a real contender. In fact, in a hypothetical matchup between DeSantis and President Joe Biden, DeSantis trails by just 1.0 points, while Trump only leads Biden by 0.6 points. These numbers show that DeSantis is a strong candidate who can hold his own against the Democrats.
So, let’s not dismiss Governor DeSantis’ incredible fundraising numbers and growing popularity. He is a conservative force to be reckoned with, and he has the potential to take our country in the right direction. It’s time to rally behind DeSantis and support his campaign for a stronger, more prosperous America.
