Published April 9, 2022 1:02am ET



Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis may have become the first-ever candidate in the United States to raise more than $100 million only in donations, according to a new report.

The Republican star, who is running for reelection this year, notched $96 million as of last month between his campaign and political committee, Friends of Ron DeSantis, which is expected to report a $6.1 million haul for March on Monday, according to CNN. The funding comes from a variety of people and groups, including former President Donald Trump’s donor network, state and national parties, Florida businesses, and small donations from across the country.
