reporting about ron desantis s ambitious campaign strategy, one that s fueled by big money but framed by some equally big assumptions about his opponents. any campaign starts with cash and desantis has already raise add ton of that, $8.2 million in the first 24 hours according to his team. nearly as much as trump raised in the first six weeks of his campaign. now, team desantis says they ll use that money to focus on the first four primary states, underscoring their belief this race could be over by mid-march. according to nbc news his strategy also rests on a potentially shakier premise. first, that it will end up being just a two-person race and second, big donors who talk to the team tell nbc they believe trump will be bogged down by his league woes providing them the opening they need. i want to bring in nbc s dasha burns in miami, she s been writing about the desantis strategy, nbc s senior national politics reporter jonathan allen

to over £3000. these energy experts will update that figure this week, and it could well go even higher. their forecast is usually a pretty good guide to what ofgem, the regulator, ends up doing. charities are worried. they say if this figure is right, it could push around 8.2 million people or one in three british households into energy poverty. that s when homes spend more than 10% of their total income on energy. that figure has been calculated after considering the impact of the £400 discount due to every household in the uk. that will start arriving in october, and there s extra cash for the most vulnerable. but is it enough? this could have massive implications for customers, particularly the poorest households. if they move towards a three month cap, it could be very likely that could happen as quickly as january and we could see significant increases in bills in
