DES MOINES, Iowa – The super PAC promoting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis plans to have dozens of staff in place in the first 18 states on the Republican presidential primary calendar in the coming weeks, a move indicating that his expected 2024 announcement is drawing closer.
The plans, shared with The Associated Press, are part of the group Never Back Down's strategy to begin political organizing for DeSantis all the way through Super Tuesday on March 5 and point to a novel approach the super PAC is attempting ahead of a likely DeSantis run.
In Iowa, where the leadoff GOP caucuses are expected to begin the 2024 voting, the group has placed about a half-dozen staff, including the former chief of staff to Gov. Kim Reynolds, as part of a broader strategy to handle on-the-ground organizing for DeSantis, a function typically done by a candidate's campaign staff.
The concept has been tried in previous election cycles, though less ambitiously and with little success.
Ahead of the 2016 Republican presidential race, a super PAC supporting former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush deployed organizing staff in New Hampshire and South Carolina. Bush, however, struggled to break through as an energizing figure in the crowded field, especially when Donald Trump began his unexpected ascent, and finished a disappointing fourth in both states before dropping out after the South Carolina primary.
The pro-DeSantis group hopes to have better luck. The super PAC spokesperson, Erin Perrine, says the moves put Never Back Down in a “dominant” position in the four early states.
"We are ahead of the game in expanding our operations outside of the first four primary states as the energy behind Governor Ron DeSantis to run for President and defeat Joe Biden in 2024 continues to grow,” Perrine said in a statement.

Nice NY Italian Racist Smear .
I am sure Ron listens to Name calling Racists
Meatball meatball meatball
hello? even God says at times to step back and let the fool in the fight expose themself.
Ron does as he is told. Occasionally it comes across as being a fighter, but he is a liar, trying to get out of his words that he would fulfill his term as gov.
Hate filled Immature Sad Trump cultist .
Another great example why we lose big in 2024 .
Please give us examples of the best Gov in the USA is a liar ?
The Dems are going to roll all over us in 24.
“You’re running for governor,” Crist said, looking at DeSantis as the governor looked forward. “Why don’t you look in the eyes of the people of the state of Florida and say to them if you’re re-elected, you will serve a full four-year term as governor. Yes or no?”
DeSantis said nothing as four seconds ticked by and the debate hall started to fall quiet. “Yes or no, Ron?” Crist asked again.
“Well, listen,” he said, “I know that Charlie’s interested in talking about 2024 and Joe Biden, but I just want to make things very, very clear. The only worn-out old donkey I’m looking to put out to pasture is Charlie Crist.”
Crist to DeSantis: Will you run for president? Florida governor refuses to say in caustic debate
Or how he lies when he says
I'm not a candidate - bobblehead desantis
When he ran for re-election as governor of florida.... for 4 years?
But we're suppose to believe he won't lie about other things, especially if it is convienent and advantages him.
Live in Iowa and have received a 1/2 dozen DeSantis for president flyers in the mail.
Knowing the globalists and establishment GOP backing DeSantis, I just can’t see casting a vote for him. He would be owned by the Establishment cabal of Romney, Bush, and McCain wing.
Anybody but Biden!
Please provide a link to that lie. No wonder you love trump. Your two peas in the pod.
Floridians don’t give a care what liberals like yourself think.
You just can’t help yourself with that love of Biden you have.
