Exclusive: PAC targets DeSantis-Trump relationship in first such 2022 ad

Remove Ron, a PAC that wants Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to lose in 2022, will launch an ad on Fox News in Sarasota to be broadcast around former President Trump’s rally there on Saturday.

• The PAC, chaired by Daniel Uhlfelder, an attorney and public health advocate you might know better for his crusade as the Grim Reaper on our beaches during the pandemic, has received 8,000 donations from mostly small donors.

State of play: This is the earliest TV ad to air in the 2022 governor's race — and it doesn't even mention DeSantis' opponents. Instead, it aims to exacerbate the tension between the former president and the governor elected with his help.
