Trump Targets GOP Strategist Jeff Roe in Political Retribution
Roe's Consulting Firm, Axiom, Unfazed by Former President's Attempt to Isolate Them
- Former President Donald Trump and his inner circle are advising Republican candidates not to hire strategist Jeff Roe or his consulting firm, Axiom, as an act of political retribution.
- Roe, who was a top strategist for the DeSantis super PAC, Never Back Down, resigned in mid-December after a story detailing internal conflicts within the super PAC was published.
- Trump's attempt to isolate Roe is seen as a measure to enforce loyalty within the GOP, with candidates warned that hiring Roe could create a political problem for them with the Trump team.
- Axiom, founded by Roe in 2005, is the country's largest Republican political consulting firm, working for almost 500 statewide and down ballot candidates, including 100 current Republican House members or other GOP candidates for House seats, and almost a dozen candidates for Senate.
- Despite Trump's efforts, Roe and his team at Axiom are reportedly unfazed, with Roe stating that they are 'getting a kick out of it.'
