THE MONEY: On the fundraising front, there is more evidence of a campaign losing momentum. In New Hampshire, where the DeSantis super PAC has stopped running ads, it’s 27 points. The polling in Iowa, where Trump continues to attack DeSantis mercilessly, has been limited, but what we have shows Trump up 24 points. For DeSantis, that number is in the low 20s (polling, not pounds).Įven after his official announcement in May - a moment of maximum exposure that should result in a significant bounce in polling - DeSantis was unable to reach close to his January high.

The Biden family business model is built on Joe Biden’s political career and connections with Joe Biden as the ‘chairman of the board.’ Biden family members sold access for profit around the world to the detriment of American interests. The American people deserve to know whether the President’s connections to his family’s business deals occurred at the expense of American interests and whether they represent a national security threat.Įvidence obtained by Committee Republicans reveals Joe Biden lied to the American people about his involvement in his family’s business schemes. We are committed to following the Biden family and associates’ money trail-consisting of many complex, international transactions worth millions of dollars-and providing answers to the American people.
