Donors frustrated at DeSantis’ inability to gain traction, take ‘hard look’ elsewhere for Trump alternative

Rumblings are growing that GOP donors are concerned about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's lack of traction and are looking to other "Trump alternative" candidates.

"As a result, a lot of them are taking a hard look at Nikki Haley. They realize the field needs to consolidate and any opportunity to beat President Trump is going to be predicated on it being a two-person race. There are folks who are seriously considering shifting away from DeSantis and over to Nikki Haley." Andrew Mark Miller is a reporter at Fox News.

"There’s definitely a lot of people talking," a top dollar donor supporting DeSantis, who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, told Fox News. "I think there’s a lot of frustration with the DeSantis campaign. We were like this pedigree thoroughbred on the starting and it just didn’t happen."
