DeSantis dominates Iowa as Trump's rally is cancelled.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis visited Iowa to secure endorsements from Republican lawmakers for his potential presidential campaign. He received endorsements from 37 Republican Iowa state senators and representatives, including the Iowa senate president and the state house majority leader. DeSantis touted his conservative accomplishments in Florida and took a veiled jab at former President Donald Trump, saying that the Republican Party must reject the culture of losing and focus on the future. However, Trump still holds a commanding lead in polls and is hosting an outdoor rally in Des Moines, Iowa, which many Iowa Republicans are expected to attend.
