EXCERPT:
WHITFIELD: “All right, in the presidential race for 2024, a campaign spokesperson for Ron DeSantis says the Florida governor has raised more than $8 million within the first 24 hours of launching his presidential bid. DeSantis threw his hat into the ring earlier this week on Twitter, but the campaign launch got off to a rather glitchy start after technical issues delayed his announcement. Joining us right now, Nancy Ancrum, she is the editorial page editor for The Miami Herald. Nancy, so great to see you. So these are early fundraising numbers. And I wanted to know, is $8 million a lot in the last 24 hours? And if you look at some of the recent reports involving some of his competition, Trump’s fundraising, $4.1 million online, within weeks of his announcement, according to an online donation processer, which is often used by the GOP. And then Nikki Haley, she has raised some $11 million over six weeks, according to her campaign. So is this pretty impressive for Ron DeSantis, $8 million in 24 hours?”
