A POLITICO analysis shows just a substantial drop off in giving.

Most congressional reps from red states rarely seek to willingly help out blue states. DeSantis was far from the only one then. MAGA having revisionist history moment from end of Oct 2012 with Obama meeting Christie in NJ.
My recollection on the Sandy Bill was that they loaded it up with things that were not directly related to Sandy and that's why DeSantis supposed it.

“Anyone from New York or New Jersey who contributes one penny to congressional Republicans is out of their minds. Because what they did last night was put a knife in the back of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans. It was an absolute disgrace,” Peter King, who is himself a congressional Republican—he represents part of Long Island in the House—said on Wednesday.My recollection on the Sandy Bill was that they loaded it up with things that were not directly related to Sandy and that's why DeSantis supposed it.

I am sure every donor in the United States will be looking up quotes from 2013 and basing their donation strategy on that. 🤣😲
Riiiiiiight.

It's just politics. Desantis was playing his angle as a fiscal conservative on a bill which was going to pass anyway. Not really that big of a deal.
That said, he's still a bad candidate and I hope to see more of his donors switching to Haley.
Haley sees biggest lead over Biden among GOP rivals in hypothetical matchup, poll finds
A new poll finds President Biden in a dead heat with every major 2024 Republican presidential candidate except Nikki Haley, once the margin of error is factored in.
