Chris LaCivita’s decision to bring in former DeSantis campaign staff to run the America PAC has caused frustration among Trump supporters. The PAC, funded by Elon Musk, hired Generra Peck and Phil Cox, two figures who were instrumental in DeSantis’ poorly received presidential campaign.
This shake-up comes at a critical time, just weeks before early voting is set to begin. Peck and Cox removed loyal Trump vendors and brought in their own operatives, leading to concerns that Trump’s campaign could be affected by the same failed strategies that hurt DeSantis’ chances.
LaCivita defended the decision, claiming the new team would improve the PAC’s operations. However, many Trump insiders are skeptical, pointing out that DeSantis’ campaign failed to connect with voters. They worry that adopting similar strategies could harm Trump’s campaign in key battleground states.
America PAC’s role in states like Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan is vital to Trump’s success, but some believe the PAC’s reliance on DeSantis allies could be a misstep. Critics argue that DeSantis’ campaign outsourced key operations to outside groups, which ultimately hurt his chances.
Trump loyalists have expressed concern that LaCivita’s history of favoring establishment figures over Trump supporters could weaken the campaign’s grassroots efforts.
Despite the involvement of other loyal groups like Turning Point Action, doubts remain about the effectiveness of the new team as the election draws near.
