Documents posted online by a firm affiliated with a pro-DeSantis super PAC lay out advice for the Florida governor in advance of the first Republican presidential debate.
, were posted earlier this month to the website of Axiom Strategies, a firm owned by the chief strategist of the pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down. Federal law prohibits super PACs from coordinating with political campaigns on spending and messaging, but super PACs have typically worked around such rules by publicly posting memos containing research and strategy.
“We’re all running against him. I don’t think we want to join forces with someone on this stage who’s auditioning for a show on MSNBC,” the memo suggests for DeSantis’s response if former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, another GOP presidential candidate, attacks Trump on the debate stage. The pro-Christie “Tell It Like It Is” super PAC sent an email to supporters Thursday mocking DeSantis’s debate prep memo, with a subject line “Debate Strategy for CJC,” and only one sentence in the body of the email: “Be yourself, and Tell It Like It Is.”
