A recently formed pro-Ron DeSantis super PAC is bringing on board a veteran GOP strategist who’s served as the top consultant for Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas
with another White House run in 2024, he’s made it clear in recent months that he’s running for re-election in the Senate next year.
Sen. Ted Cruz speaks at a donor conference hosted by the Club for Growth, on March 3, 2023, in Palm Beach, Florida. Super PACs, known as independent expenditure-only committees, are legally allowed to raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, and to spend unlimited sums to support or oppose political candidates. Unlike traditional PACs, they are prohibited under long-standing federal rules from either coordinating or contributing directly to a candidate or candidate's campaign.
Two sources familiar with DeSantis’ political world told Fox News this month that Never Back Down PAC would likely have the governor’s blessing should he go forward and run for the White House. DeSantis saw his popularity soar among conservatives across the country over the past three years due to his forceful pushback against coronavirus pandemic restrictions and his aggressive actions as a culture warrior going after the media, corporations and teachers' unions. The governor scored an overwhelming 19-point gubernatorial re-election victory in November, and in recent speeches he has pitched policy victories in Florida as a roadmap for the entire nation.
