Private Plane-Lover Ron DeSantis Lays Off a Third of His Staff
"‘DeSantis fired 40+ people because he and the First Lady refuse to fly Delta or American to Des Moines and Manchester," one GOP operative told a reporter.

The struggling presidential campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has now laid off more than one third of its staff, as reports pile up that DeSantis loves traveling by private jet so much that he spends lavishly on travel when he can’t get donors to fly him around.
DeSantis, for the past few months, has been tanking in the polls because he’s deeply flawed candidate with the charm of an Android who’s managed to alienate local conservative groups and big donors with his terrifying stances on abortion and banning books. As a result, his campaign is burning through cash on travel and payroll. A reasonable person would think he’d cut costs by flying commercial. But nope! He’s firing people.
Last week the candidate fired about a dozen staffers, reportedly to cut costs. Before he started the culling, DeSantis had as many as 92 people on the payroll; the next-largest campaign, that of Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), has 54 staffers. Politico reports that a total of 38 DeSantis staffers have been laid off in recent days.
