Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday to federal charges that he plotted to overturn the 2020 elections. Trump is the GOP presidential frontrunner and has been indicted three times since launching his 2024 campaign. The former president is spending big on legal fees and that's one reason he's burning campaign cash fast. The big picture: Trump isn't the only one blowing through money. Other Republican candidates have an even higher so-called "burn rate." We take a closer look at the numbers and why they matter for this phase of the campaign. Plus, checking back on the health of America's downtowns. And, the Hollywood strikes' economic impact – by the numbers. Guests: Axios' Stef Kight and Alex Fitzpatrick.
