Ron DeSantis' presidential primary campaign raised $15 million over the past three months, while burning through around $11 million during the same period, according to Federal Election Commission records. The totals represent both the DeSantis campaign and a joint fundraising committee called Team DeSantis 2024. DeSantis' campaign reported finishing the quarter with a little more than $12 million in cash on hand. The $11 million that the campaign reported spending was roughly equivalent to how much the DeSantis campaign alone raised over the same period, without the help of the joint fundraising committee. DeSantis' campaign also reported spending at least $250,000 on private airfare.

Changes to zoning laws forced a South Carolina business owner to lay off three of his five workers. Rafael Chinchilla, the owner of Tires 2 Go, a tire retailer in Simpsonville, South Carolina, was told in August 2022 to stop offering U-Haul rentals or face "ruinous fines and jail time." But under South Carolina law, "a property owner has a vested right to continue a nonconforming use in existence when his property is rezoned, barring a factual showing that continuing the use would harm the public health, safety, or welfare." The order forced the business owner to lay off three of his five employees as it had "drastically reduced the income from his business," the nonprofit wrote in its letter to the city Friday. It added that "his use as a U-Haul rental business was grandfathered in, and the City should not violate South Carolina law to destroy it."
