Allies of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis outlined a strategy for next week’s GOP presidential primary debate in a memo encouraging him to defend former President Donald Trump from attacks by rival Chris Christie and to call upstart contender Vivek Ramaswamy “fake.”
The two-page memo, authored by leaders of the pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down, was published to the website of Axiom Strategies and dated Aug. 15. It also urges DeSantis to share personal anecdotes, “about family, kids, Casey, showing emotion.”
