A super PAC urging Florida Gov. As the race heats up between DeSantis, former President Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, a super PAC has hired Jeff Roe as a top Republican strategist.
Roe will join Never Down PAC according to a source. This super PAC was created by Ken Cuccinelli who is a Trump administration official who defected for 2024 and is playing an important role in laying the foundation for DeSantis’ widely anticipated White House bid.
A source close to Never Back Down PAC stated that Jeff Roe and Axiom have the experience, knowledge and resources to elect the next president of America. Roe’s team can help DeSantis win the primary by letting him know that he is running.
This news was first reported on Politico.
The DeSantis team declined comment.
Roe is a hot commodity within the GOP world. Roe is the founder of Axiom Strategies. He is most well-known for Glenn Youngkin’s unexpected victory in the Virginia governor’s race. Youngkin has been speculated to be a potential 2024 hopeful, although he has yet to make a statement.
Roe was the 2016 presidential campaign manager for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and led him to victory at the Iowa caucuses. This gave him some experience running against Trump.
Roe joins the team at a crucial time. DeSantis has been speaking at early voting states and promoting his book . However, he is also starting to be criticized and questioned by his party about his responses on multiple issues — from Trump’s possible indictment to Ukraine or slipping vote numbers.
