Is Ron DeSantis's Super PAC Struggling for Funds?

Ron DeSantis's super PAC, Never Back Down, is facing financial challenges as it competes against Donald Trump in the race for the Republican nomination. In an audio recording obtained by The New York Times, the super PAC's chief strategist, Jeff Roe, made an urgent plea for $50 million from donors. He emphasized the need to beat Trump in the next 60 days and separate from other rivals. The audio recording revealed that the super PAC is making significant investments now and hoping that donors will cover the expenses later. The group is particularly focused on Iowa, where it needs $5 million per month to sustain its operations. However, the super PAC recently ended door-knocking efforts in Nevada and California, as well as other Super Tuesday states, to concentrate its resources on the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. This decision was made in light of the real opportunities that lie in these states and their influence on the overall nomination process. The super PAC's financial challenges and strategic decisions highlight the uphill battle it faces in trying to overtake Trump in the campaign.
