Not Trump. Not Biden. Most Attacked Presidential Candidate Is Desantis by Far.
The 2024 presidential race is headlined by President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Yet the most attacked presidential candidate in the 2024 election is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – by a wide margin.
Despite Trump holding a commanding lead in the polls against DeSantis, the Republican Florida governor is the number-one target for attack ads.
DeSantis has been the target of $20.2 million in negative independent expenditures – a quarter of all independent expenditures in the 2024 election cycle, according to the Washington Examiner.
Nearly all of the negative independent expenditures against DeSantis came from the Trump-supporting super PAC Make America Great Again Inc. Just $45,712 came from other groups. The Trump super PAC spent only $3.2 million on attack ads against Biden.
Only $8.1 million of negative independent expenditures was directed toward Trump. Meanwhile, $9.2 million of negative independent expenditures were used against Biden. (Read more from “Not Trump. Not Biden. Most Attacked Presidential Candidate Is Desantis by Far.” HERE)
