An Iowa state senator has flipped his endorsement from Donald Trump to RonDeSantis in the wake of two recent blunders by the former president. State Sen. Jeff Reichman, a Republican, announced the move on Thursday.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement, “There is no room for weak-kneed and lily-livered people on Team Trump. Ron DeSanctimonious’ failing campaign is so desperate that he’s willing to offer buyouts in the form of fundraisers for endorsements. The truth is that those who have been promised financial support are now regretting their deal with the devil because none of them have been able to schedule fundraisers with DeSantis.
The mention of Gov. Kim Reynolds in Reichman's endorsement is notable, as Trump recently earned criticism for calling her out on social media, unhappy with her choice to remain neutral during the campaign season leading up to the Iowa caucuses. News broke earlier this week that Trump would additionally be absent from a prominent event for evangelicals in Iowa, the Family Leadership Summit, which is taking place on Friday. The Trump campaign attributed this to a scheduling conflict — he will be speaking Saturday evening at a Turning Point Action event in Florida.
