“There does seem to be a new level of brazenness about how much super PACs are appearing at campaign events and vice versa,” said Saurav Ghosh, director of federal campaign finance reform at the Campaign Legal Center. MAGA Inc., the super PAC backing former President Donald Trump, began running ads against DeSantis before the Florida governor officially became a presidential candidate. The mnemonically named Trust In the Mission PAC, supporting Sen. Tim Scott’s presidential bid, has dropped millions on TV ads that happen to feature the URL of Scott’s official campaign website.
