The biggest donor to a pro-Ron DeSantis super PAC, who once said he'd 'go without food' to support the Florida governor, is halting his donations until the candidate moderates his stances.
As its coffers grew, the PAC started taking over tasks that are traditionally handled by an official campaign, stretching federal rules that bar super PACs, which can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money, from coordinating with a candidate. Never Back Down has staged events featuring DeSantis as a “special guest,” run a bus tour through Iowa, and funded a pro-DeSantis door-knocking effort.

In a statement to Reuters, a DeSantis spokesperson said the campaign was "grateful" to donors for "the capacity to compete for the long haul," but did not explicitly address Bigelow’s comments.
