DeSantis Super PAC Chairman Resigns, Adding to Campaign Woes

Adam Laxalt, chairman of the super PAC Never Back Down supporting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign, has stepped down from his role. Laxalt, a close friend of DeSantis, cited the need to focus on his family and law practice after being involved in the campaign for nearly 26 months. This departure follows the exit of Never Back Down's CEO, Chris Jankowski, and highlights ongoing tensions between DeSantis' political operation and the super PAC. The launch of a rival super PAC, Fight Right, Inc., was reportedly prompted by negative ads associated with Never Back Down. The super PAC has already spent over $41 million supporting DeSantis.

DeSantis Super PAC Faces Major Setback as Chairman Resigns

Adam Laxalt, a friend and former roommate of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has resigned as chairman of the Never Back Down super PAC, which supports DeSantis's presidential campaign. Laxalt's departure comes after the recent resignation of the group's CEO, Chris Jankowski. The DeSantis campaign has embraced a new outside group called Fight Right to handle negative attacks on his competition, while Never Back Down continues its door-knocking operation. DeSantis and his wife have expressed discontent with some of Never Back Down's advertising, and certain ads tying former Gov. Nikki Haley to China have backfired. The group was initially funded with $82.5 million from DeSantis's political funds, and a transfer of $1 million was made to Fight Right.
