The release of the latest quarterly fundraising figures for 2024 presidential hopefuls has led to a now-familiar dynamic: people associated with businessman Vivek Ramaswamy battling those associated with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, as both men fight to occupy the narrowing lane for a non-Trump candidate while sounding like the voice of “We the People.”
The latest spat concerned $15.2 million in debt owed by the Vivek 2024 campaign, per its filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The campaign is also down to $4.2 million cash on hand from $9 million at the beginning of the quarter.
