What does "keep chosen candidates afloat" mean in this following paragraph? "There is a slate of politicians vying for that position. Because of loosened campaign-finance rules it will be much easier for deep-pocketed backers to keep chosen candidates afloat during this election season than it has been in the past." THANK YOU

The key is in the words 'finance' and 'deep-pocketed'. These backers are supporting their chosen candidates financially during the campaign. They are keeping the candidates' campaigns going by injecting money into them.
