Pro-Ron DeSantis super PAC makes a big hire with top GOP strategist

A super PAC urging Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to run for president has brought on top Republican strategist Jeff Roe, giving it a significant boost as the battle heats up between DeSantis and former President Donald Trump.

Roe is joining Never Back Down PAC, a source familiar with the plans said. The super PAC was launched this month by Ken Cuccinelli, a Trump administration official who has defected for the 2024 race and is playing a major role in laying the groundwork for DeSantis’ widely expected White House bid.

“Jeff Roe and the Axiom team have the experience, know-how and the resources needed to elect the next president of the United States," a source close to Never Back Down PAC said. "If DeSantis announces he’s running, Roe’s team will make the difference in getting him to overtake Trump in the primary.” Pro Roe T-Shirt
