Gov. Ron DeSantis has seen his Republican presidential marketing campaign flatline, and he’s refusing to verify or deny that he’s being flown to marketing campaign occasions by a rich supporter.
Politico reported:
This week, Ron DeSantis flew to New Hampshire for a marketing campaign swing that coincided almost precisely with the trail of a non-public airplane related to a rich supporter.
Daniel Doyle, Jr., who runs a printing firm in Central Florida, owns a airplane whose flight path traces up with DeSantis’ July 4 journey to the Granite State, based on public data. Neither DeSantis’ presidential marketing campaign nor representatives for Doyle would say if DeSantis was aboard.
It’s a recurring sample the place DeSantis and the organizations helping him stay quiet about who’s bankrolling his travels and his frequent use of personal constitution jets.
Marketing campaign finance regulation is evident. Any journey that DeSantis accepts should be disclosed, and the marketing campaign should reimburse the proprietor of the airplane for the price of the combat. It doesn’t matter what legal guidelines the state of Florida has handed to cover who’s paying for Ron DeSantis’s journey. Governor DeSantis is a federal election candidate who’s topic to federal marketing campaign finance legal guidelines.
The state of affairs must be very uncomplicated. DeSantis must be paying for his journey. If he and his marketing campaign are permitting rich donors to fly him round and so they aren’t reporting and reimbursing for the flights, DeSantis is breaking the regulation.
The DeSantis marketing campaign has stalled. The chatter in Republican circles is rising and notion is rising that Ron DeSantis just isn’t the candidate who can beat Trump.
The very last thing that DeSantis wants is a journey scandal, however that’s what his marketing campaign’s lack of transparency is creating.
