Cash Infusion Alters GOP Presidential Race

Republican candidates and groups have already spent almost $30 million on ads in the party's primary this year, with the bulk of the spending coming from super PACs. The competition between former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis promises to be an all-out brawl, with both candidates taking advantage of loose campaign finance laws to prepare for the race for years before announcing campaigns. Super PACs and megadonors are playing a bigger role than ever, and the accelerated pace of spending underlines key dynamics shaping the Republican race for the White House.
