As Republicans seek an alternative to Donald Trump, the influential Charles Koch network has endorsed Nikki Haley, further complicating DeSantis's bid. Some senior campaign aides are pessimistic about their chances, while DeSantis's struggles as a candidate and his strategy of appealing to Trump supporters have drawn attention. Despite the challenges, DeSantis's team remains optimistic and is focusing on Iowa, where he has high-profile surrogates and is attempting to peel away Trump supporters.

Internal Turmoil: Resignation of Never Back Down Super PAC Head Reveals Cracks in DeSantis Team

Chris Jankowski, the chief executive of Never Back Down, the main super PAC supporting Gov. Ron DeSantis's presidential bid, has resigned amid internal disputes and the creation of a new outside group supporting DeSantis. The Never Back Down super PAC has been pushing the boundaries of what super PACs typically do, including paying for DeSantis's travel and attempting to build a field operation. Allies of DeSantis have raised concerns about the negative ads aired by Never Back Down and its close connection to the candidate. Jankowski's resignation comes after tensions flared at a recent strategy meeting, and concerns were raised about the handling of a $1 million transfer to a new entity for attacking DeSantis's rival, Nikki Haley.
