The Financial Woes of Ron DeSantis’ Campaign Continue.
He’s in a pretty rough spot.
Ron DeSantis is struggling, and I for one absolutely love it.
As much as I despise Donald Trump, it’s undeniably satisfying to see someone like Ron DeSantis seemingly unable to get out of the mess he essentially created for himself. He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t, and that’s exactly what he deserves for making the decision to attach himself to the likes of Trump in order to get his career going. His campaign as he attempts to fight Donald Trump for the GOP nomination has, unsurprisingly, not gotten off to the start he would like and unfortunately for him, the red flags only appear to be getting worse.
Jessica Piper with Politico writes:
“Ron DeSantis has a money problem: Most of the cash in his campaign’s account is off limits, and the donors who have fueled his strong fundraising so far are people he can’t ask again for more money.
A POLITICO analysis shows that roughly 75 percent of all money raised by DeSantis came from donors who can no longer give again for the primary: DeSantis raised $31.3 million through the end of September, and of that, $23.8 million came from more than 3,800 donors who have each given at least the maximum primary amount of $3,300…”
