Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is planning a private fundraiser in Utah later this month that is expected to draw some of the country's wealthiest Republican donors as he signals a possible run for president in 2024.

DeSantis is set to head to Utah the week of July 18 for the private gathering, according to people familiar with the matter. Many asked not to be identified because the campaign is trying to keep the private event from getting too much public attention.
