"DeSantis Outpaces Trump in Fundraising, But Campaign Faces Challenges"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis raised more campaign cash than former President Donald Trump in the last quarter, but concerns arise about the financial stability of DeSantis' presidential campaign. While DeSantis raised $20 million compared to Trump's $17.7 million, Trump has more cash on hand with $22.52 million versus DeSantis' $12.24 million. DeSantis has been spending at a rapid rate, leading to layoffs and a focus on early-voting states. Additionally, a significant portion of DeSantis' fundraising is restricted to the general election, and he will need to find new donors as two-thirds of his current donors have already reached the maximum allowable contribution. Other non-Trump candidates trail behind in fundraising but run more modest campaigns.
