Jeff Roe, who co-founded Axiom Strategies, a Republican political consulting firm, has signed on with Never Back Down, a DeSantis-aligned political action committee expected to be a boost for the Florida governor's potential 2024 presidential campaign, according to multiple reports.Axiom Strategies helped Youngkin eke out a victory in a strongly blue state back in 2021, which fueled Republican hopes that they would surf a red wave in the midterm elections that failed to materialize.
Roe, who also served as a top strategist for Sen. Ted Cruz during his 2016 campaign, previously conveyed his belief that the 2024 GOP primary was a two-man race. He later clarified that those remarks were not intended to diminish Youngkin, who is term-limited as governor. Youngkin is also slated to head to Texas to be a guest of honor at an event held by a billionaire Republican donor, in a trip that is set to coincide with a speech at former President George W. Bush's presidential library, NBC reported.
