TALLAHASSEE — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been calling high-profile donors this month ahead of two fundraisers President Donald Trump's campaign is scheduled to hold this week in the state.
The money effort is a show of loyalty by the governor, who has clashed with Trump over a campaign hire and is coping with a surge of coronavirus infections that have made Florida the worst-hit state in the country, with more cases than New York and California. The virus has killed more than 6,300 Floridians.
DeSantis has shut down his own fundraising efforts, in one case even returning a $25,000 check his political committee received. Donors who have asked about giving financial support to the governor have been told to wait.
But the Republican governor, whose 2018 victory was boosted by Trump's endorsement ahead of the Republican primary, has been calling donors in the last week to 10 days to ask them to donate to the president’s reelection campaign, three people familiar with the fundraising told POLITICO.
Trump is scheduled to hold fundraisers at a Tampa golf club on Friday and at his own Trump National Doral Miami golf resort on Saturday.
“The governor has completely shut down his fundraising operation to steer us through the pandemic, but given the proximity of the presidential election he made it a priority to make calls to donors around the state to make the Trump Tampa and Miami events successful,” said Nick Iarossi, a Tallahassee lobbyist and DeSantis fundraiser.
The governor's helping hand comes shortly after the Trump campaign hired Susie Wiles to assist with its Florida operation. Wiles helped engineer Trump’s narrow 113,000 vote victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016 and played a crucial role in DeSantis’s come-from-behind win in the 2018 governor’s race over Democrat Andrew Gillum.
Wiles was fired from the Trump campaign last year after DeSantis suspected she bore responsibility — unfairly her friends say — for the leak of internal correspondence suggesting that the new governor appeared to be selling access to special interests on golfing trips.

Pharmacy Board Retracts Hydroxychloroquine Ban a Day After Issuing It
One day after the Ohio Board of Pharmacy acted to ban the use of the drug hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, the board reversed its decision.
The anti-malarial drug has shown promise as a treatment for individuals infected with the coronavirus, although the jury is still out on its overall effectiveness. Its use has been supported by President Donald Trump, which has led to extensive media pushback criticizing the virus.
The action to allow the drug to be prescribed came as the Ohio Department of Health reported the state had more than 1,100 people hospitalized who have been diagnosed with COVID-19, according to Fox News. The 1,122 people reported hospitalized on Tuesday topped a previous state high of 1,103 in April.
A terse note on the board’s website said that as “a result of the feedback received by the medical and patient community and at the request of Governor DeWine, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy has withdrawn proposed rule 4729:5-5-21 of the Administrative Code. Therefore, prohibitions on the prescribing of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in Ohio for the treatment of COVID-19 will not take effect at this time.”
“This will allow the Board to reexamine the issue with the assistance of the State Medical Board of Ohio, clinical experts, and other stakeholders to determine appropriate next steps,” the notice said.
The rule had been scheduled to take effect Thursday, and the board did not further explain its reasoning for the change.
Gov. Mike DeWine said Thursday he sided with Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, that decisions on treatments should be made between patients and their doctors, according to the Dayton Daily News.
“Therefore, I am asking the Ohio Board of Pharmacy to halt their new rule prohibiting the selling or dispensing of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19,” DeWine said.
“The Board of Pharmacy and the State Medical Board of Ohio should revisit the issue, listen to the best medical science, and open the process up for comment and testimony from experts.”
The reversal of the ban on hydroxychloroquine came as the state was revising its coronavirus rules by limiting the hours of bars to deal with a recent spike in cases.
Cameron McNamee, director of board policy and communications, told the Columbus Dispatch the initial ban on hydroxychloroquine was “a patient safety issue.”
McNamee said Trump’s advocacy concerning the drug was not the reason the board was trying to restrict its use.
“We’re looking at the best science to determine what’s best for the patients of Ohio.”
“The long and short of it is, we want people to focus on what works, such as social distancing and mask use,” McNamee said. “We ultimately want to make sure people are being safe and not exposing themselves to drugs that have shown not to be effective in treating COVID-19.”
