Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made his first trip to the early nominating state of Iowa as he tests the waters for a presidential bid, coming to the state only days before Trump is slated to campaign there
Girts, who said he did not vote for Trump, said he was looking for a younger candidate and would consider voting for DeSantis next year.
Robinson cautioned that if DeSantis hopes to win the state and strike an early blow against Trump, he will have to engage in the kind of extensive retail campaigning that has paid off for other Republican candidates. Trump has already begun to put a campaign team together in the state that includes Eric Branstad, the son of former Republican Governor Terry Branstad, according to his campaign.
The Iowa events will be the closest the men have come to a head-to-head match-up ahead of a Republican contest that is still taking shape.
