SaysWho? Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds to endorse Ron DeSantis for president WWW.NBCNEWS.COM The governor’s support could lift DeSantis’ campaign ahead of the first-in-the-nation caucuses in Iowa, where he trails Donald Trump in the polls. Quote Reynolds’ endorsement is a major boost for the Florida governor, who’s gone all-in on Iowa since launching his bid for the GOP nomination in May. DeSantis currently trails former President Donald Trump by 27 points in the Hawkeye State, according to the latest NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll — and he is also tied for second place with rival Nikki Haley, with the former United Nations ambassador catching up to DeSantis after he spent months pitching himself to GOP voters as the party’s main alternative to Trump. Now, DeSantis has the support of the state’s popular governor as he tries to climb back up the ladder and challenge Trump in the Jan. 15 caucuses, the first contest of the 2024 GOP presidential race. More Iowa Republicans viewed Reynolds favorably — 81% — than any of the presidential candidates in the August NBC/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll, and her support could lift DeSantis’ chances of pulling off an upset. Quote The endorsement is a major departure from tradition: Iowa governors have typically stayed on the sidelines ahead of the caucuses. An endorsement last happened in 1996, when then-Gov. Terry Branstad threw his support behind Bob Dole — though Branstad did also step out in 2016 to say he hoped Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas would be defeated ahead of that year’s caucuses. Branstad’s move failed as Cruz won the caucuses that year, a sign of how big-name endorsements are no guarantee in a campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
