DeSantis has nearly tapped out on maxed out donors
The Florida governor is going to have to find new big donors — fast.

Ron DeSantis has a money problem: Most of the cash in his campaign’s account is off limits, and the donors who have fueled his strong fundraising so far are people he can’t ask again for more money.
A POLITICO analysis shows that roughly 75 percent of all money raised by DeSantis came from donors who can no longer give again for the primary: DeSantis raised $31.3 million through the end of September, and of that, $23.8 million came from more than 3,800 donors who have each given at least the maximum primary amount of $3,300.
No other candidate comes close to those figures. For Nikki Haley, that number is 44 percent; for Tim Scott, it’s 36 percent; for Vivek Ramaswamy, it is 23 percent, excluding his self-funding.
