Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds Endorses Ron DeSantis for President

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds is set to endorse Ron DeSantis for president at a rally in Des Moines, providing a significant boost to DeSantis' campaign in the state. Reynolds' endorsement comes as DeSantis trails former President Donald Trump in Iowa and is tied with rival Nikki Haley. DeSantis sees Iowa as a crucial battleground to challenge Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential race and has focused his resources on the state. Reynolds' support, as the state's popular governor, could help DeSantis gain traction and potentially block Trump from securing the Republican nomination. This endorsement breaks with tradition, as Iowa governors typically remain neutral ahead of the caucuses.
