A two-page memo from the pro-Ron DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down was recently published to the website of Axiom Strategies. The memo, dated August 15th, outlines a strategy for the upcoming Republican presidential primary debate on August 23rd in Milwaukee.
The memo encourages Governor DeSantis to defend former President Donald Trump from attacks by rival Chris Christie and call upstart contender Vivek Ramaswamy “fake”.
According to RealClearPolitics, Trump is the top choice with 54.7% of GOP voters, while DeSantis trails behind at No. 2 with less than 15% of the vote. Axiom Strategies founder Jeff Roe also leads the pro-DeSantis’ super PAC.
However, it appears that DeSantis is not willing to go after Trump, and risk alienating the former president’s supporters. If DeSantis wants to gain the Republican presidential nomination, logic dictates that he will have to attack Trump at some point.
The first Republican presidential debate will be held on August 23rd in Milwaukee. It remains to be seen whether DeSantis will follow the advice of the memo and defend Trump, or if he will choose a different strategy.
