I am paying attention, I’m just not sure how many others are. It’s weird how the left side of the screenshot doesn’t include the date of the Tampa Bay Times article (September 14, 2018) but the right side CNN part does. Then the title “how it started how it’s going” - it’s giving the impression to people that this just happened recently in this election cycle (you can tell by reading the comments here). I think OP should change the title of the screenshot to “how it started four years ago, how it’s going” to be more accurate and transparent. A lot of people in this thread seem to be just reading the headline and not the article.

Other very important context from the article that I think will help people make an informed decision on this:

Jeanette Nuñez, a Kendall-area state Representative running as DeSantis' lieutenant governor, will also be at the event, which should raise some badly-needed dollars for DeSantis.

Democratic nominee Andrew Gillum outpaced DeSantis in fundraising during the first days of the general election campaign thanks in part to tens of thousands of small-dollar donations. The Tallahassee mayor reported raising eight times what DeSantis, a now-former congressman, raised over the three days in August following the primary election.

But the Republican Governor's Association has said it plans to spend $10 million backing DeSantis, and Republican boosters have typically had open wallets when it comes to supporting top-of-ticket candidates like DeSantis.

I will remind everyone that DeSantis barely won the governors race in 2018, 49.8% to 49.2%, likely only because of his Trump endorsement. If he owed his governor career to anyone, I would say it’s Trump, not JEB! It’s hard to imagine a world where Andrew Gillum was the governor of Florida from 2018 through the pandemic.

Giving the impression that DeSantis is owned by the RINOs now over $50k feels a bit like when Hillary claimed Russia stole the 2016 election with $50k in Facebook ads. I think it’s a little difficult to sell that given his record since becoming governor and over the pandemic, but anyone is certainly entitled to that opinion. I can’t think of a governor who has a better record than him post-pandemic.
