The $3,300-per-person fundraiser is being hosted by several big-name Massachusetts donors.
BOSTON — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is set to attend a fundraiser for his presidential campaign on Saturday on Cape Cod, where the migrants he had flown to Martha’s Vineyard last year were voluntarily taken to receive services on a military base.
DeSantis’ administration took credit ahead of Florida’s 2022 gubernatorial election for relocating South American migrants from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha’s Vineyard, in a bid to highlight what he called President Joe Biden’s “open border” policy. The stunt sparked outrage from Democrats across the country and drew legal challenges from immigrant advocacy groups and a Democratic state senator.
Now DeSantis is turning to the same blue state for cash to prop up his presidential campaign that’s bleeding money and recently laid off more than three dozen staffers. The $3,300-per-person fundraiser is being hosted by several big-name Massachusetts donors at a private location, according to an invitation obtained by POLITICO.
