A pro-Ron DeSantis super PAC showed him as former President Donald Trump's replacement in a recent ad.

The Never Back Down PAC showed video of a voter putting a "DeSantis for President 2024" on his truck over an old "Trump for President 2016" sticker.

"We will be courageous," DeSantis says during the video. "Here I stand. I'm not backing down."

According to ABC News, the Never Back Down PAC will start airing ads in the GOP's early-primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina starting next week. The PAC has raised more than $30 million since March.
