DeSantis Super PAC Cancels Ad Buys, Shifts Focus to Grassroots
As Never Back Down pulls TV ads, Fight Right and newly formed Good Fight ramp up support for DeSantis' campaign.
- Never Back Down, the super PAC supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign, has cancelled $2.5 million in ad buys in Iowa and New Hampshire, key early voting states.
- Following a series of departures and internal disagreements, the super PAC is shifting its focus to grassroots operations, while another pro-DeSantis super PAC, Fight Right, takes over TV advertising.
- Fight Right plans to spend over $2.5 million on TV ads in Iowa, including a $1.3 million anti-Nikki Haley ad.
- Despite the support from these super PACs, DeSantis is currently trailing behind former President Donald Trump in the polls in both Iowa and New Hampshire.
- A third pro-DeSantis super PAC, Good Fight, has recently formed and begun placing ad reservations targeting Iowa.
