Former President Trump's attack on Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds hints at a vulnerability in the state.
Still, Trump hung a lantern on his own problem by ripping into Reynolds, the popular second-term governor, for failing to reciprocate his political support for her and showing up at DeSantis events.
"I opened up the Governor position for Kim Reynolds, & when she fell behind, I ENDORSED her, did big Rallies, & she won," Trump wrote on the Truth Social media platform Monday,Reynolds' embrace of DeSantisLast month, Trump said more explicitly that Reynolds — the state’s first female governor, who won 95 of Iowa's 99 counties last year — owes her position to him.
Will Rogers, a former chairman of the Republican Party in Polk County, which is home to the state capital, Des Moines, said the endorsements DeSantis hasshow that Trump hasn't been able to corner as much of the market on institutional backing in Iowa as he would have liked. “Gov. Reynolds as well as the rest of our delegation not endorsing candidates in the presidential process is a sound policy that really makes sense not just for Iowa, not just for them, not just for the candidates, but for the country,” Rogers said.
