Campaign finance reports for the second quarter of 2024 presidential race reveal potential trouble for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who raised $20 million but is burning through cash at a rapid rate and has a small share of contributions from individuals in amounts of $200 or less. Former Vice President Mike Pence's fundraising numbers were lackluster, raising less than $1.2 million, raising questions about his ability to gain traction. Former President Donald Trump leads the GOP field in polling and raised $17.7 million, while South Carolina Senator Tim Scott and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley also have significant cash on hand. President Joe Biden raised $72 million with the Democratic National Committee, nearly as much as all major GOP contenders combined.
