DES MOINES, Iowa — The premier super PAC supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for the Republican presidential nomination is cutting back on staff following Monday’s Iowa caucuses.

“As of 6 am [sic] this morning, I learned I am now a free agent due to budget cuts beyond my control,” George Andrews, a DeSantis caucus precinct director, posted on LinkedIn Wednesday.

It was not immediately clear how many people were affected by the reduction, but a source familiar with the situation described the layoffs as “planned” and noted that some personnel were transferred to other early voting states from Iowa.

Andrews’ announcement was first reported by the New York Times.

Never Back Down has played a key role in DeSantis’ run for the White House so far.

In the runup to Iowa, the super PAC organized events across the Hawkeye State, featuring the Florida governor as a “special guest.”

The phrasing raised some eyebrows among watchdog groups, since campaigns are prohibited from coordinating with super PACs supporting any candidate.

The DeSantis team has dismissed those complaints as “baseless.”

The 45-year-old DeSantis finished a distant second in Iowa, trailing former President Donald Trump by just under 30 percentage points.

“Never Back Down continues to host a slew of events on the ground for Gov. DeSantis in South Carolina, New Hampshire, and beyond aligned with our core mission of mobilizing grass-roots field operations in those state,” super PAC CEO Scott Wagner said in a statement.

“We’ve mobilized several members of our robust Iowa team over to the other early primary states to help in these efforts and will continue working to help elect Gov. DeSantis, the most effective conservative leader in the race, our next President.”

Laid-off staffers are expected to be paid through the end of the month, the source told The Post.

Never Back Down has raised at least $130 million since March last year, according to the latest filings with the Federal Election Commission.

But the group has been plagued by internal fighting and tumult. Last month, chief strategist Jeff Roe announced his resignation amid an apparently bitter row with Wagner.

Over a matter of weeks, the super PAC shed at least five other notable senior officials — including the founding chief executive and board chairman, who both resigned, as well as three others who were fired.

Weeks before the Iowa caucuses, Never Back Down turned over TV advertising in Iowa to another super PAC, Fight Right.
