The Florida governor is flexing muscle ahead of his trip to the state.
The endorsements provide a political jolt for Gov. Ron DeSantis as he readies for a likely presidential bid. | Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis is set to unveil the endorsements of more than three-dozen Iowa state legislators ahead of his trip to the state on Saturday — giving him a boost in a state that traditionally hosts the Republican Party’s first presidential nominating contest.
The endorsements, however, provide a political jolt for DeSantis as he readies for a likely presidential bid. The total haul represents more than one-third of the Iowa Republican legislative caucus, and far outpaces the amount of support received by any of the Republican candidates who ran in the 2016 GOP primary. The most received that year was by Sen.
DeSantis is set to make his second trip to Iowa on Saturday, where he will appear at a picnic hosted in Sioux Center by Iowa GOP Rep. Randy Feenstra, who has yet to endorse in the primary. Former President Trump will separately be hosting a Saturday rally about 245 miles south, in Des Moines. Ahead of his visit, the Trump campaign is expected to announce the backing of nearly 150 county leaders and grassroots activists, according to a person familiar with the plans.
