  • A former top official in then-President Donald Trump’s administration has switched gears and will not be supporting his one-time boss for the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination.
  • Instead, Ken Cuccinelli, a former Virginia attorney general who later served as acting deputy Homeland Security director during the last two years of Trump’s administration, has launched a super PAC to support Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis instead, though he has not formally declared his candidacy.
  • Cuccinelli says the newly established Never Back Down PAC he is leading has a clear objective: to assist DeSantis in making a quicker start in his bid for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, should he decide to run, Fox News reported exclusively on Monday.
