DeSantis lets go of more than 1/3 of campaign staff as reset continues
Source: Politico
Ron DeSantis presidential campaign is expanding the number of staff its cutting to include more than a third of his payroll as the Florida governor looks to get his primary bid back on track.
The cuts, which were confirmed by advisers, will amount to a total of 38 jobs shed across an array of departments. They will include the roughly 10 event planning positions that were announced several weeks ago, in addition to the recent departures of two senior DeSantis campaign advisers, Dave Abrams and Tucker Obenshain.
Following a top-to-bottom review of our organization, we have taken additional, aggressive steps to streamline operations and put Ron DeSantis in the strongest position to win this primary and defeat Joe Biden, DeSantis campaign manager Generra Peck said in a statement. Gov. DeSantis is going to lead the Great American Comeback and were ready to hit the ground running as we head into an important month of the campaign.
The expanded cuts are the latest sign that the Florida governors team is pivoting to a slim-down operation amid concerns over their finances. The campaign announced it had raised $20 million during the second quarter of this year. But it had spent a good chunk of that money. Much of the sum it raised, moreover, came from donors who had given the maximum amount and could not give again.
