The DeSantis super PAC, Never Back Down, has been highlighted for its significant failure despite substantial financial backing. A detailed postmortem analysis reveals an internal turf war within the DeSantis campaign and its super PAC, led by strategist Jeff Roe. The PAC, which promised much, managed to spend $145 million in ten months and yet failed to deliver results, leading to spectacular acrimony. This has been described as unprecedented in the history of presidential elections, where 'never has so much been spent by so many with so little results'. Additionally, a Tim Scott-allied super PAC was identified as responsible for the August leak of the DeSantis debate memo, which contributed to internal strife and may have broken laws. One consultant summed up the situation with, 'In hindsight, we were fucked from the beginning', while others suggest that a 'psyop' on DeSantis was conducted to sow mistrust.
