Pro-DeSantis Super PAC Faces Ongoing Turmoil as Officials Depart

Three senior members, including the CEO, communications director, and director of operations, have left the pro-DeSantis super PAC group, Never Back Down, just weeks before the Iowa Republican caucuses. The departures come as DeSantis faces pressure to challenge former President Donald Trump's lead in Iowa and nationally, with some voters and donors considering backing Nikki Haley. The super PAC, which has been crucial to DeSantis' campaign, is now under the interim leadership of Scott Wagner. The shake-up is seen as an attempt by DeSantis' loyalists to regain control over Never Back Down, which has been funded by over $80 million from DeSantis' political accounts.
