In Iowa this weekend, GovRonDeSantis made the case for why he is the conservative who can take down Biden at two different events in Sioux Center and Cedar Rapids, while Trump was forced to cancel his own rally in Des Moines due to inclement weather.
SIOUX CENTER, Iowa — Ramona Nitz met Gov. Ron DeSantis for the first time on Saturday while attending the Feenstra Family Picnic hosted by Rep. Randy Feenstra . Nitz, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Cherokee, Iowa, is like most attendees who showed up for the picnic on a cloudy weekend morning: She's a conservative who wants a candidate who will defeat President Joe Biden during next year's presidential elections.
But in Iowa this weekend, DeSantis made the case for why he is the conservative who can take down Biden at two different events in Sioux Center and Cedar Rapids, while Trump was forced to cancel his own Iowa rally in Des Moines due to inclement weather. DeSantis even made a surprise visit to Jethro’s BBQ Southside in Des Moines late Saturday night.
He also declared the GOP"must reject the culture of losing that has infected our party in recent years." Afterward, he spent time meeting with voters, shaking hands, signing poster boards, and then flipping burgers with both Feenstra and Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds . Yet, Never Back Down, the super PAC supporting DeSantis, has gone up with a seven-figure ad buy in the four early-voting states: Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. The group also unveiled 37 endorsements from Iowa state Republicans, a strong showing of the support DeSantis is gaining in the Hawkeye State.
