Huckabee was one of the lower-funded candidates in 2008, spending just $1 million and becoming a contender for a little while before he ceded the nomination to McCain. He said his 2016 campaign will need “a whole lot more money,” according to the report.
In the meantime, he’s been reaching out to donors to figure out how much funding he could raise in order to keep the campaign from running out of steam, saying that he doesn’t want to “jump in a pool that doesn’t have any water in it.”
Huckabee said he would likely rely on a super PAC, which can raise and spend unlimited money, although it cannot coordinate with his campaign after he declares his candidacy.
