“DeSantis’s Striking, Risky Strategy: Not Trying to Trick Small Donors”

NYT:

Although his campaign has not directly called out Mr. Trump’s methods, on the day Mr. DeSantis declared he would run for president, his website prominently vowed to eschew “smoke and mirrors,” “fake matches” and “lies” in its fund-raising.
