The position assumed by Donald Trump when criticizing the support that Kim Reynolds, governor of Iowa, has given the campaign of candidate Ron DeSantis, It could cause a mismatch to the calculations that the New York politician has made to defeat his current rival in that state and even thinking about next year’s elections.
While it is true that, so far, the polls place the 77-year-old millionaire ahead of the Florida governor, the numbers could movebecause the accusations he issued against Reynolds were not well received.
Noting that the governor of Iowa has been present at various DeSantis campaign events, Trump could not resist the urge to reproach him. through a message on the Truth Social social network.
“I opened the governorship for Kim Reynolds, and when she fell behind, I SUPPORTED her, did big rallies, and she won. Now, she wants to remain ‘NEUTRAL’. I don’t invite her to events! DeSanctus dropped 45 points!“, he indicated.
The point is that Reynolds had said he would remain neutral in the 2024 primary so that all GOP hopefuls would feel welcome to campaign in Iowa; It’s just that he seems to have leaned in favor of the Florida governor and that has already caused Trump enormous displeasure.
About, Cody Hoefert, former chairman of the Iowa Republican Party, opted to support the current governor who according to opinion polls is highly respected and loved by citizens in the state.
Through social networks, the politician opened the door to seek options other than those offered by Trump.
“After this I am out of the former president. It’s time for new leadership or should I say real leadership. I am open to supporting a fresh new leader who will inspire others.” express.
The reality is that some experts point out that in Iowa, for a candidate to win the vote of the citizens, he must do more work than in other states and for this, it requires a large working group to help it spread its messages practically house to house, because when holding large events —as Trump is used to doing— they do not generate the desired impact.
The controversy for the former president is that having generated a disagreement with Kim Reynolds, it is considered difficult for him to operate without his help. to take not only the Republican candidacy, but the elections themselves next year at the state level, this in case he manages to appear on the ballot.
