Former President Donald Trump, who is a frontrunner for the GOP nomination in 2024, has issued orders to down-ballot Republican candidates not to hire GOP strategist Jeff Roe or his political consulting firm, following Roe's work to elect Ron DeSantis. Four people familiar with the conversations reported this targeted campaign against the consultant and his firm. Furthermore, Trump has publicly criticized DeSantis's presidential run, labeling it 'one of the greatest self-destructions' he has ever witnessed.

Trump is the former POTUS and frontrunner for the GOP nomination in 2024. Now, he is on a campaign against a former consultant for DeSantis-aligned super PAC and his firm, ordering down-ballot candidates not to hire him/them. He’s spending time going after staff. Incredible. https://t.co/xPkzAq0eZy
