Between staff layoffs and depleting funds, Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign is slowing down before it even really started.
The Florida governor fired roughly a dozen staffers over the weekend — after just six weeks on the campaign trail. More layoffs are expected in the coming weeks as part of cost-cutting measures, according to Politico.
Sources close to the DeSantis campaign said that the firings are related to its unsustainable spending habits, which were also revealed this weekend when DeSantis filed his campaign fundraising and spending details from April 1 to June 30.
In his first six weeks, DeSantis raised $19.7 million, with $16.9 coming from contributions of over $200, signaling a reliance on large donors, as well as an absence of grassroots support. The filings also show that the campaign is rapidly spending money, blowing through $7.9 million in just its first six weeks.
