Jeff Roe, main strategist for DeSantis super PAC, resigns

Jeff Roe, chief strategist for "Never Back Down" — the super PAC backing the presidential run of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — resigned from the group on Saturday night. 

Roe is the highest profile staffer to leave the PAC in recent weeks, after several top officials were fired following the arrival of the PAC's new chairman, Scott Wagner. 

Roe, a seasoned GOP operative who was the architect of the PAC's ground game operation in Iowa for DeSantis, announced his departure after a Washington Post story published Saturday contained a statement from Wagner that was critical of some former employees.
