Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been consistently viewed as the candidate with the best shot of ensuring Trump doesn’t win the GOP nomination.
DeSantis himself warns that Trump’s candidacy would not only be high risk and low reward, but he’d also be a lame duck on day of getting back into office. To boot, the Florida governor doesn’t believe Trump could defeat Biden in 2024 either.
As the GOP primary plays out, various political pundits continue discussing what they perceive as DeSantis’ best chance to win the Republican Party’s nomination. As it turns out, the outcome of the Iowa caucuses will be critical for the Florida governor.
A make or break?
With the Iowa caucuses coming up, DeSantis is spending quite a bit of time in the state. Fresh off of winning the coveted endorsement from Gov. Kim Reynolds, DeSantis has visited nearly every single one of Iowa’s 99 counties.
Various commentators project that having Reynolds’ support is a major asset for DeSantis. Not only is the Iowa governor highly popular in her state, but voters likewise feel inclined to listen to her. Reynolds likewise committed to remaining on the campaign trail, urging the folks of her state to back DeSantis.
