Top strategist for DeSantis super PAC resigns

Details: The Washington Post, which first reported Roe's resignation, had published a piece earlier on Saturday detailing some of the tensions and disputes between Never Back Down and DeSantis' campaign.

• Hours later, Roe said he would be resigning from his position "effective immediately," via a post on X.

Roe said in his post that he "cannot in good conscience stay affiliated with Never Back Down given the statements in the Washington Post today."

• "They are not true and an unwanted distraction at a critical time for Governor DeSantis," Roe said.

Zoom out: Roe joins the growing list of people who resigned or were fired from Never Back Down in recent weeks.

• Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt had announced he would be stepping down as chair of the super PAC in a late November letter, per the New York Times.

• In November, the super PAC's CEO Chris Jankowski also resigned.
• Kristin Davison, who took over for Jankowski as CEO, was fired just days after she stepped into the role, according to Politico.
• Two others in the group were also recently fired, including a spokesperson and top official for the PAC, per Politico.

DeSantis' campaign did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment Sunday.
