Ron DeSantis, under pressure to raise more money for his struggling presidential bid, is facing donors who are growing reluctant to bankroll him further.

Some donors who have supported the Florida Republican’s campaigns for governor and who had planned to donate to his presidential run are holding off until they see his poll numbers and operation improve. Others who had donated to DeSantis are regretful and aren’t planning to contribute more to groups supporting him.
