Gov. DeSantis Flips 'MAGA' Megadonor From Trump

A Republican megadonor who manages an investment fund named after Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan is flipping his support to Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis.

"I'm in for DeSantis this time," Point Bridge Capital founder Hal Lambert told the New York Post. "I plan to do a lot to help DeSantis win."

DeSantis has yet to officially declare for the 2024 GOP presidential primary, but he is widely expected to do so this week, and his political team has pointed to the rising tide of campaign funding before the looming filing and announcement as proof of DeSantis' power.

"Much to the media's chagrin, this proves that donors continue to be impressed by Gov. DeSantis and support him in bringing his successes to the national stage," DeSantis political team press secretary Bryan Griffin wrote in a statement Monday to Newsmax.

"Clearly the media's shared talking points for that narrative were yet again backed by nothing but their agenda."
