The Florida governor is aggressively campaigning in Iowa. It’s barely making a dent in the polls.
DES MOINES — Ron DeSantis had just spent two days riding on a bus all over Iowa, popping into convenience stores, shaking hands at roadside stops and recording a podcast at a bar.
In Iowa, where DeSantis is polling somewhat closer to Trump than he is nationally, the Florida governor is still trailing the former president by more than 20 percentage points. And here at the fair, even Republicans disillusioned with Trump remained skeptical of DeSantis’ prospects in the first-in-the-nation caucus state.
But the crowds for DeSantis remain smaller and more subdued than Trump’s. And even at DeSantis’ events, not all in attendance are sure, yet, that he is the candidate to beat Trump. “We set a record for people today,” Trump declared, without elaborating. “2020 was fantastic, 2016 was fantastic, … but this blows it away.”
An official with MAGA Inc., the super PAC supporting Trump, said the group was not behind Saturday’s banner in the sky. Steven Cheung, Trump campaign spokesperson, did not directly say whether they had funded the plane.
