Politico says the move comes after his campaign failed to hit fundraising targets.The Florida Governor’s long-anticipated campaign has not soared in the way he and his team surely hoped it would.
An anonymous insider on the campaign said around a dozen staff members were let go on Thursday. Some may pick up new roles in ‘Never Back Down’ and other super PACs affiliated with DeSantis.Another Republican source told NBC that DeSantis’ possibly hired too many people at the start of his campaign.“They never should have brought so many people on; the burn rate was way too high.
People warned the campaign manager but she wanted to hear none of it.”DeSantis raised an impressive $20 million in the second quarter, according to new filings.
The ‘Never Back Down’ PAC told Fox News it also raised $130 million since March.However, there are signs that DeSantis’ fundraising has slowed in recent weeks.
