Overview
- Never Back Down, the main super PAC supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign, has seen a series of high-level departures in the last month, including CEO Chris Jankowski, Chairman Adam Laxalt, and interim CEO Kristin Davison.
- Amid the turmoil, a new pro-DeSantis super PAC, Fight Right, has been formed, which is expected to focus on television advertising.
- DeSantis' campaign has relied heavily on Never Back Down for basic campaign functions, but the recent shakeups and the formation of Fight Right have raised questions about the super PAC's role in the campaign.
- Despite the internal conflicts, DeSantis continues his presidential campaign, recently completing a tour of all 99 counties in Iowa.
- DeSantis is currently running a distant second to former President Donald Trump in national polls for the GOP nomination.
