Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s own ‘Never Back Down’ super PAC could soon morph into ‘Not Backing DeSantis’, with controversial consultant grifter Jeff Roe reportedly telling donors unhappy with the Florida Governor’s dismal polling that he may pivot to supporting Tim Scott, or even Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin.
The National Pulse’s own sourcing on this matter was also confirmed by Caroline Wren, senior advisor to Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, who says Roe has been telling disgruntled donors that Never Back Down could “support other candidates than just Ron DeSantis, which is a strange thing to say unless you’re starting to lay the groundwork of a potential DeSantis exit.”
Wren told Steve Bannon’s War Room show on Thursday: “I think it’s because some donors are starting to ask: ‘Hey, why am I giving to you? You have $120 million already cash on hand in this PAC, and DeSantis’s numbers are just crumbling.'”
“I think it’s a tool that they’re using to leave an opening to say, hey, if [DeSantis] gets out, we can just morph this into a different PAC – and does it get morphed into a PAC to run candidates against America First Senate candidates and House candidates? Or does it become an entity that supports a new candidate that gets in? Or does it become an entity that supports Tim Scott?”

Senator Scott, who used “never back down” as his slogan in 2022, is going slow in the polls at present, tied for fourth place alongside Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, and Chris Christie on three percent.
Meanwhile, a number of sources close to Team DeSantis have told The National Pulse they expect Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, also a client of Roe’s, to jump in the race and benefit from the consultant’s backing.
