At the end of last month, the Florida governor had $88m (£71m) in a fund, Friends of Ron DeSantis, that was raised for his Florida re-election campaign and can be transferred to his presidential bid.

He also reportedly has about $30m (£24m) controlled by an independent committee that his allies can use to support his campaign.

Donald Trump, by contrast, reported a combined $18.8m (£15m) in fundraising over the first three months of 2023, with $13m (£10m) in his main campaign account.
