The end of the second fundraising quarter marks a new glimpse into how campaigns are faring ahead of November's high-stakes elections.
Most of the Republican presidential hopefuls and President Biden had not yet officially declared their candidacies by the end of the first quarter in March. Campaigns had two weeks past the end of the second quarter to report their contributions to the Federal Elections Commission.
Here are the winners and losers from the second fundraising quarter of 2023. |

Former President Trump is seeking unprecedented delays as he faces prosecution for mishandling classified documents, arguing his status as a candidate and other factors require punting the case indefinitely. The strategy, if successful, would postpone Trump's trial into a window that could be more favorable for him. If Trump were reelected, his administration's Justice Department could withdraw the charges, or another newly elected Republican president could pardon him. |

Former President Trump accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Saturday of neglecting his home state while out on the campaign trial, as insurers flee Florida over increased risks from natural disasters. "We are totally dominating DeSanctus right here in the state of Florida," Trump said at the Turning Point Action Conference in West Palm Beach. "So, we want him to get home and take care of insurance because you have the highest insurance in the nation." |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R) 2024 campaign is reorganizing amid its struggle to meet fundraising expectations — including shedding staff, a campaign spokesperson confirmed to the Hill on Saturday. The team let go fewer than 10 employees on Thursday, primarily from its event-planning team, as was first reported by Politico. The campaign spokesperson said the decision would help boost the governor's chances of defeating President Biden if he wins the Republican nomination. |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said on Saturday during a campaign event that he would consider Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) for his running mate in the 2024 presidential election if he were to win the GOP nomination. "Of course," he said, when asked if Reynolds would be on the shortlist. "I mean, she's one of the top public servants in America." |

The battle over abortion rights is set to play out with several ballot measures across the country going into next year as the issue shows no signs of waning among voters. The first big fight is in Ohio, where Republicans in next month's special election are looking to increase the voting threshold to 60 percent to amend the state constitution. If passed, that move could hinder Democrats' efforts to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution in a potential ballot box measure in November. |

Former Vice President Mike Pence said abortions in the case of nonviable pregnancies should be banned, taking a hard stance on abortion policy, which has served as an emphasis of his campaign. "I'm pro-life. I don't apologize for it," Pence said in a recent interview. "I just have heard so many stories over the years of courageous women and families who were told that their unborn child would not go to term or would not survive. And then they had a healthy pregnancy and a healthy delivery." |

The end of affirmative action, which followed a lawsuit brought by an organization that said Asian American and white students were being discriminated against, has highlighted the starkly differing viewpoints of Asian American lawmakers. While some are warning Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students will face additional challenges in applying to elite institutions, others are celebrating the end of what they say were discriminatory practices. |

Heat waves are the most deadly climate disaster, killing far more people every year than wildfires, hurricanes and floods combined. But rising temperatures aren't the only reason that extreme heat is becoming a bigger risk. Here are five reasons — aside from climate change — why heat risk is worsening. |

As El Niño conditions settle in — with a more than 90 percent chance of lasting through this winter and into next year — the globe may feel the heat. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center officially declared the arrival of El Niño, a climate phenomenon marked by warmer sea temperatures, in early June. |

OPINION | The war between Russia and Ukraine becomes not only more surreal and unstable by the day, but also more threatening to the rest of the world. More threatening because the possibility of a tactical nuclear missile either being deliberately or accidentally launched grows by the day. Should that occur, the potential for an all-out nuclear conflict grows with it. |

OPINION | It took decades of challenging systemic barriers and exclusion for disabled Americans to secure their right to exist and participate fully in our society. Thirty-three years ago, Congress passed the American with Disabilities Act to protect people with disabilities from ableist discrimination. At its core, the law was intended to facilitate access to transportation and public accommodations, like restaurants and workplaces. Yet, people with disabilities still face a myriad of challenges that infringe on their right to survive and thrive in our society, and mass surveillance technology is only making the problem worse. |
