Timed perhaps to fall after most people have left for Thanksgiving trips to see relatives, the head of Ron DeSantis’s Super PAC handed in his resignation on Wednesday, leaving the Florida Republican governor short of leadership heading into the holiday weekend.
Chris Jankowski, the head of Never Back Down PAC, the main Super PAC backing DeSantis, called his position “untenable” in a statement to Reuters, hinting at internal division about strategy and spending. “Never Back Down’s main goal and sole focus has been to elect Gov. Ron DeSantis as President. Given the current environment it has become untenable for me to deliver on the shared goal and that goes well beyond a difference of strategic opinion.”
