At the top of WaPo’s list: “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spent nearly $8 million during the first six weeks of his campaign and he is relying heavily on big-money backers to fund his effort, according to the new disclosures detailing the $20 million haul that he reported for the second quarter of the year, covering the period between April and June.” Also, “the new disclosures suggest that contenders such as Pence and former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson are struggling to hit a fundraising pace that would get them to that 40,000-donor threshold [for making the debate stage].”

In related news from NYT: “Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida has started cutting campaign staff just months into his presidential bid, as he has struggled to gain traction in the Republican primary and lost ground in some public polls to former President Donald J. Trump.”
