IA Gov. Kim Reynolds’ Pre-Caucus Endorsement of DeSantis Could Prove Costly to Kickoff Caucus State

M.D. Kittle, The Star News Network

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds’ endorsement this week of Ron DeSantis a little more than two

months before the Iowa caucuses could hurt the state GOP’s future prospects. Trump, who leads DeSantis by nearly 30 percentage points in the latest Iowa poll, has clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Reynolds’ rallying around DeSantis — especially after he accused Iowa’s governor of playing political footsie with DeSantis. Trump could make things very difficult for a state GOP that would like to maintain its first-in-the-nation caucus status.
