Ron DeSantis&#8217;s campaign, successfully recruits\u2064 two \u200dgrassroots directors from Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action). The move comes after AFP Action endorsed former U.S. \u200bAmbassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, causing disapproval among some staffers.<\/p>\n<p>The two\u2064 former AFP Action directors \u200bin Iowa have joined Never Back Down&#8217;s Iowa \u200cpolitical team, signaling their support for DeSantis as a\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-us-house-races-heat-up-ahead-of-aug-2-primary\/\" title=\"Arizona US House Races Heat Up Ahead of Aug. 2 Primary\">true conservative leader<\/a>. Noah Jennings, Never\u200b Back \u2062Down&#8217;s Iowa\u2063 political director, expressed his\u200c excitement about the new additions to the team, emphasizing their rejection of Haley \u2063as an \u200cestablishment candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Dave Vasquez, Never Back\u200b Down&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ian-sams-former-kamala-aide-and-grillary-clinton-apron-model-lands-new-gig-as-bidens-covid-spox\/\" title=\"Ian Sams, Former Kamala Aide and \u2018Grillary Clinton\u2019 Apron Model, Lands New Gig as Biden\u2019s COVID Spox\">national press secretary<\/a>, took to X (formerly\u200b Twitter) to celebrate the news, urging grassroots activists to join the movement to elect DeSantis instead of supporting the\u2063 establishment candidate.<\/p>\n<p>AFP Action responded to the \u2062staff defections by stating that it is not uncommon for individuals to move to different campaigns during the primary season. They also highlighted\u2063 the positive response\u2064 they have received since endorsing Haley, with over 120 new volunteers joining their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Reports suggest \u2063that biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy&#8217;s campaign has also been in talks with some AFP Action staffers, indicating further tensions within the GOP over the choice of candidate for the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>The disagreements within AFP Action stem \u2064from their endorsement of Haley, with some staffers expressing doubts \u200babout her chances compared to former President \u200dDonald Trump. Chris Maidment, former\u2064 director of grassroots\u2062 operations for\u2064 AFP Action\u2063 in New Hampshire, was terminated after publicly criticizing the Haley endorsement on\u200b social media.<\/p>\n<p>While the\u200b staff departures from AFP\u2064 Action may be minimal, they reflect the growing tensions within the GOP\u200d regarding the party&#8217;s\u2063 standard-bearer for 2024. Never Back Down has also faced internal problems, including \u2063the departure\u2062 of key\u200b figures, but remains committed \u200dto supporting DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>AFP Action, on the other hand, stands firmly behind Haley, believing \u2063that her campaign momentum can lead to victory\u200c against \u200cPresident Joe Biden in the general election. They have already begun canvassing and mobilizing their grassroots\u200d activists\u200c in support of Haley in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-former-trump-aide-sam-nunberg-trump-considering-2024-run-i-believe-that-he-will\/\" title=\"Exclusive -- Former Trump Aide Sam Nunberg: Trump 'Considering' 2024 Run, 'I Believe that He Will'\">early primary states<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 battle for the Republican\u200d nomination continues to intensify, \u200bwith\u2064 both Never Back Down \u200cand \u200cAFP\u2064 Action vying for influence and support as the 2024 election approaches.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What expertise and experience will the former\u200b AFP Action staffers bring to Never Back Down&#8217;s Iowa \u200dteam?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  G the expertise and experience they bring to the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Never Back Down\u200c Super PAC has gained\u2064 significant attention in recent months as a formidable\u200d force in the race for the\u2064 Republican nomination in the 2024\u2063 presidential election. \u2062With their unwavering support \u200cfor Governor Ron DeSantis, they\u2064 have attracted the interest of many political \u200dfigures and activists who share their conservative values.<\/p>\n<p>The recent acquisition of two grassroots directors from Americans for \u2062Prosperity Action is a significant development for Never Back Down.
