Never Back Down, a super PAC aligned with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, asked Republican donors to help raise $50 million just hours before he walked onto the stage for the first Republican primary debate on Aug. 23.
Leaked audio from a pre-debate meeting in Milwaukee, obtained by CNN, showed Never Back Down CEO Chris Jankowski asking donors to help get $50 million by the end of the year, and even more by the end of March.
In an hourlong meeting, Mr. Jankowski, chief operating officer Kristin Davison and chief strategist Jeff Roe discussed their outlook on how Mr. DeSantis is looking ahead of the Jan. 15, 2024, Iowa caucus, according to CNN. They told donors that the Florida governor is falling short in media exposure, and that they are pushing to lean more on Mr. DeSantis’s wife, Casey DeSantis.
The audio also revealed campaign strategies for Mr. DeSantis, including what they’re calling the “DeSantis index,” which they use to find the likelihood that someone will vote for him. “We can’t lose to Trump,” Mr. Roe told the donors. “If Trump’s the nominee, we’re gonna lose the White House. If we lost the White House, we’re gonna lose the Senate, and if we lost the Senate, we’re gonna lose the House. And [Democrats] are going to be in charge of the full House, Senate and White House for at least two years.”
“[The bill] would almost certainly lead to two new Democrats in the U.S. Senate and a permanent majority for Dems,” Mr. Trump wrote. “Why would any Republican who cares about saving our country support this???”
