A super PAC created to boost Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ likely 2024 presidential bid has raised more than $30 million since launching in early March. 

Never Back Down PAC says most of the money was raised organically from small and large donors. 

“Never Back Down has seen a massive surge in support for the movement to make Gov. DeSantis … President DeSantis,” said Erin Perrine, the PAC’s spokeswoman. 

Mr. DeSantis is seen as a leading candidate for the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination. The Florida governor raised more than $200 million for his landslide re-election bid last year. 

Fresh polls in Iowa and New Hampshire show Mr. DeSantis running strongly against former President Donald Trump. 

Mr. Trump is not taking Mr. DeSantis lightly. A super PAC associated with ex-commander-in-chief is running ads in Florida dinging Mr. DeSantis for having voted for budgets that cut Social Security and Medicare when he was a member of Congress.
