"Ron DeSantis's Campaign Funding Experiment: A Dramatic Collapse"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' ambitious plan to change campaign funding by relying heavily on a super PAC called Never Back Down has hit major roadblocks. The super PAC, which was supposed to fund DeSantis' advertising and field programs, has been plagued by internal conflicts and a string of high-level departures. DeSantis and his campaign staff have expressed frustration with the group's leadership and ad strategy. The situation highlights the risks of depending on emerging loopholes in campaign finance laws and ceding control to outside entities. Despite the setbacks, DeSantis is still polling in second place in Iowa, but faces tough competition from Nikki Haley and Donald Trump.
