The Rise and Fall of Ron DeSantis' Controversial Super PAC

Ron DeSantis' Never Back Down super PAC, initially hailed as a "Death Star" with $100 million in funding, has collapsed due to fatal flaws and internal conflicts. The PAC, designed to propel DeSantis to the presidency, faced strict federal rules that prevented coordination with the campaign. Officials have resigned or been fired, top strategists have clashed, and a breakaway PAC has formed. Despite the massive spending, DeSantis is struggling in the polls, leading some to question the decision to outsource critical functions to the super PAC. The PAC's dysfunction and DeSantis' own flaws as a candidate have contributed to its downfall, serving as a cautionary tale for future presidential campaigns.
