The Potential Presidential Run of Ron DeSantis in 2024.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been flying around the country for what appears to be campaign events ahead of his expected announcement of a 2024 presidential bid. However, he has not yet formally announced his candidacy, allowing him to avoid campaign finance rules that would require him to publicly report donations. DeSantis has been using private jets provided by anonymous wealthy allies, arranged by a Michigan nonprofit called And To The Republic, which protects the identities of those funding the trips. Ethics experts have raised concerns about the lack of transparency and the potential for powerful secret donors to influence political candidates.
