"DeSantis Faces Make-or-Break Moment in Iowa as Presidential Campaign Intensifies"
TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has heavily invested in Iowa for his presidential campaign, but he faces a 36-point polling deficit with former President Donald Trump. DeSantis has been trading attacks with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who has a clear advantage over him in New Hampshire. While Iowa is not a "must win" for DeSantis, he must come within ten points of Trump to have a viable path for the GOP nomination. DeSantis' campaign has faced personnel drama and a widening poll gap with Trump, but they remain confident in their long-haul strategy.
