Adam Laxalt, the ex-Nevada Attorney General affiliated with the Republican Party, has resigned from his position as the head of the pro-DeSantis super PAC, Never Back Down. This information was confirmed by a representative of the organization.
In a letter dated November 26th, Adam Laxalt expressed the need to redirect his focus to his family and legal practice after an intensive campaign period lasting almost 26 consecutive months.
Laxalt mentioned that he continues to endorse DeSantis’s 2024 presidential candidacy. In response to Laxalt’s departure from the PAC, DeSantis’s campaign released a statement asserting that the combined strength of Team DeSantis remains unparalleled.
DeSantis’s deputy campaign manager, David Polyansky said “As the last three Iowa Caucus winners have shown, it takes a combination of hard work, air support, and grassroots organizing to win. Never Back Down boasts an impressive field operation and ground game. Working alongside their independent efforts, we will all celebrate hitting our 99th Iowa County tomorrow and carry the support of the most robust turnout operation in modern Iowa history into success on January 15.”

“Never Back Down’s main goal and sole focus has been to elect Governor 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,” Jankowski stated.
Jankowski’s exit was disclosed subsequent to an NBC News report detailing a tense disagreement among Never Back Down members during a budgetary deliberation. This development coincided with the establishment of the latest pro-DeSantis super PAC, Fight Right, which obtained a $1 million injection.
These occurrences arise as Republican presidential campaigns approach the concluding phase leading up to the Iowa caucuses scheduled for January.
Before entering the race, DeSantis was viewed as the primary contender to challenge former President Trump in the Republican primary.
Nevertheless, DeSantis has not surpassed Trump in polling, and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has edged closer to his second-place position. In certain state-level polls, she has even surpassed him.
