Ron DeSantis’ presidential bid has taken a significant hit with the departure of key figures from the main super PAC, Never Back Down. Just over a week into her tenure, Kristin Davison, the chief executive officer of Never Back Down, was replaced by Scott Wagner, a longtime ally of DeSantis. Davison’s sudden departure has raised concerns about internal divisions among DeSantis’ allies, specifically senior campaign officials who have reportedly lost confidence in the group over the last few months.
The drama at Never Back Down is a significant issue for DeSantis’ presidential bid, considering the super PAC’s ability to receive unlimited donations. Never Back Down has played a critical role in supporting DeSantis’ election efforts, but its sudden departure is a sign of internal divisions among DeSantis’ allies, which has led to the formation of a new super PAC, Fight Right, focused on attacking former UN ambassador Nikki Haley. Haley has overtaken DeSantis in some key states in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

DeSantis’ senior campaign officials have reportedly lost confidence in Never Back Down, likely due to its failure to effectively support DeSantis’ election efforts. The instability of DeSantis’ presidential bid is reflected in the drama at Never Back Down, which has led to concerns about the stability of his overall campaign. The timing of the departure is also significant, as it comes as DeSantis is struggling to gain traction in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
DeSantis and Haley currently trail former US president Donald Trump in national polls by over 40 points, making the internal squabbles at Never Back Down a major setback for DeSantis’ chances. The drama at Never Back Down is a sign of the chaos and uncertainty that has plagued DeSantis’ presidential bid, and it is likely to make it even more challenging for him to catch up to Trump in the polls. The departure has also raised questions about the ability of Never Back Down to effectively support DeSantis, which has significant implications for his campaign’s financial and political viability.
