"Resignation of Jeff Roe Shakes DeSantis Super PAC"

Jeff Roe, the chief strategist for the "Never Back Down" super PAC supporting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign, has resigned following the firing of several top officials. Roe, who played a key role in DeSantis' ground game operation in Iowa, announced his departure after a statement critical of former employees was published in The Washington Post. The PAC's new chairman, Scott Wagner, initially claimed that senior officials were terminated due to mismanagement and conduct issues, but later revised his statement. Roe cited the false statements as the reason for his resignation, stating that he cannot stay affiliated with the PAC. Polls show DeSantis trailing both former President Donald Trump and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley in Iowa and New Hampshire.
