“Ron DeSantis is dining with dozens of wealthy fundraisers at the Florida governor’s mansion in Tallahassee this week and next, people familiar with the meetings said. The visits are giving top supporters more face time with the Republican governor as he prepares to launch his presidential campaign following criticism that he’s neglected the personal side of politics,” the Washington Post reports.
“Small groups of ‘bundlers’ — who raise money from their own larger networks of donors — are getting briefings from the governor’s advisers and having dinner with DeSantis and his wife, Casey DeSantis… The gatherings are a chance for DeSantis to build relationships and introduce his likely campaign staff, one of the people said, while another said they help address a ‘supply and demand’ challenge of DeSantis’s national tour the past few months — too little time to sit down with everyone interested.”
