The chairman of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “Never Back Down” SuperPAC has stepped down after several weeks of reports of internal turmoil within the organization.

Adam Laxalt has known DeSantis since they were roommates during the governor’s naval officer training and had DeSantis’ support for his unsuccessful 2022 Nevada Senate campaign. Laxalt joined the PAC about a month after it was launched in early March of this year, controversially taking in millions of dollars that were originally raised for a state-level PAC for DeSantis’ gubernatorial re-election effort and then bolstering that with millions of dollars from GOP megadonors.

Laxalt’s involvement in the PAC was “widely seen as Mr. DeSantis and his wife seeking to have someone they trusted monitoring the activities of the well-funded group,” reported The New York Times’ Jonathan Swan, Shane Goldmacher, and Maggie Haberman — and Never Back Down has been a crucial part of Team DeSantis’ strategy, again attracting controversy for taking over the role of providing event planning and transportation services for the cash-strapped campaign.
