00:00:00.125 --> 00:00:03.003
Financial problems
for Ron DeSantis have forced the Florida

00:00:03.003 --> 00:00:05.839
governor's
presidential campaign to fire his wife.

3
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.008
Calling it a, quote, tough decision.

4
00:00:08.008 --> 00:00:09.300
Campaign officials said that

5
00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:13.138
the mother to the DeSantis
three children was an unnecessary luxury

6
00:00:13.138 --> 00:00:15.974
at a time when the campaign needed
to tighten its belt.

00:00:15.974 --> 00:00:20.937
Going forward Mrs. DeSantis responsibilities

00:00:20.937 --> 00:00:24.566
her husband will be divided among the remaining campaign staffers.

00:00:24.566 --> 00:00:26.818
And in additional steps to cut costs.

10
00:00:26.818 --> 00:00:28.028
the campaign has reported

11
00:00:28.028 --> 00:00:32.157
that it is already planning
to replace the DeSantis children using AI.
