Florida Republican presidential candidate and conversation killer Ron DeSantis’s campaign problems continue as he was forced to lay off a third of his campaign staff over the last two weeks due to ongoing cash flow problems, Politico reports. At least 38 campaign staffers have been laid off since the beginning of July.
As DeSantis flies around the country doing appearances and trying to shore up his plummeting White House hopes, he has been draining the limited cash reserves of his campaign, which is largely supported by big-dollar donors; only 15% of DeSantis’s donors gave less than $500.
