Florida Governor Ron DeSantis When it comes to the likely Republican presidential candidates in 2024, Wall Street’s money is on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis—not former President Donald Trump, who’s been teasing another run at the White House. A fifth of the $55 million that DeSantis has raised this year came from hedge fund billionaires, private equity bankers, investment managers, and other finance industry donors.
Main Idea: Wall Street donors are helping Ron DeSantis build a large campaign fund, while Donald Trump relies more on small-dollar support.
Key Points:
Wall Street money backing Ron DeSantis can give wealthy donors more influence over public policy, which may leave workers, consumers, and small businesses less heard.
Strong fundraising can help a candidate compete in elections and give voters a clearer choice.
