TALLAHASSEE (FCV) – The November 2021 fundraising totals for Florida gubernatorial candidates have been announced: Ron DeSantis (R) leads with $6,000,000 while Charlie Crist (D) trails with $800,000 and Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried (D) with only $200,000.

Ron DeSantis has been criticized by many on the left for “being on vacation,” although he worked for the vast majority of December, except for select days like Christmas. 

Nikki Fried incorrectly reported that DeSantis shut down the state government for “two plus weeks while COVID raged,” when the state government did not shut down and DeSantis continued to work.

Democrats have continuously blamed DeSantis for COVID-19, whether it be case totals, testing, or monoclonal distribution, even though President Joe Biden (D) has been behind the artificial shortages of monoclonals and controls many aspects of test distribution.
