DeSantis raised $8.2M in 24 hours after 2024 launch, campaign says
By Victor Nava

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hauled in $8.2 million in the first 24 hours of his 2024 presidential campaign despite a lackluster launch on Twitter.
The impressive sum dwarfs the $6.3 million raised by Joe Biden in his first 24 hours as a presidential candidate back in 2019.
The donations started to roll in despite audio and server issues during DeSantis’ much-anticipated presidential launch on Twitter Spaces event with Elon Musk.
The issues delayed DeSantis’ long-anticipated announcement by about 30 minutes.
But after the hour-long conversation between DeSantis, Musk, and entrepreneur David Sacks, the Florida governor urged supporters to flood his campaign with contributions.

While that's a decent amount of money to pull in, I was hoping for double that at least.
