 Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds to endorse DeSantis: NBC News
by Miranda Nazzaro - 11/05/23 10:35 AM ET

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) will endorse Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for president at a rally in Des Moines on Monday, according to a NBC News report.

Citing sources close to the governor, NBC reported the move as DeSantis’ campaign anticipates a win in Iowa, which holds its caucus on Jan. 15, will keep former President Trump from securing the GOP nomination.

The endorsement would mark a significant shift for the Iowa governor, after previously vowing to remain neutral in the 2024 primary so that all candidates would feel welcome to campaign there.

Reynolds had pledged to remain neutral in the 2024 race, but Trump has taken aim at Reynolds for doing so, and also when she appeared with DeSantis and his wife Casey on the campaign trail last summer.

Shortly after the NBC News report was published, Trump’s campaign emailed a statement blasting Reynolds, saying she was backing a candidate that had no chance of winning the White House.

“Kim Reynolds apparently has begun her retirement tour early as she clearly does not have any ambition for higher office,” the campaign wrote. “Earlier this year, she promised her constituents that she would remain neutral in the race, yet she has completely gone back on that promise. Regardless, her endorsement will not make any difference in this race.”

IIRC Trump has already gone after her.  DeSantis needs to take IA, otherwise IMHO, he needs to drop out.

NAH. IA would put him IN for sure... BUT IA is just the beginning. Everything prior to IA is all bullshit. I would say if he don't pick up steam in the Southern primaries, then he's done. If he can't make it through the South, then the Midwest and West don't have enough to help him.

Personally, I hope he stays in almost to the end, one way or the other, just in case Tumpy can't get it done - which is a very real thing.

Agree with @roamer_1  that IA isn't super critical to win, just place well and above expectations. SC is far more important. IA and NH if anything weed out the losers.

Not surprised  that the Gov did this. Throw enough poo at someone, especially Iowans, and they'll say screw you. Really stupid unforced error on Trump's part.

I hope he stays in a well as voting for Trump may not even be an option.

Hey, all caps means it’s truer.

Reynolds is a great governor. Makes me jealous of those living in IA. Terrific endorsement for DeSantis.

Now you tell me.

Add some bad 'gramer" and you have a Trumpier burn.

Kim Reynolds caved to the left amid a crime wave and signed a police reform bill after George Floyd died of fentanyl

She said the death of Floyd “opened the eyes of a nation and sparked a movement”

Lol

He’s emotionally collapsing. Imagine that back in the White House. All these angry outbursts will be used against him by the DNC when the election season really heats up. Remember all those wonderful polls in early to mid 2022 that foretold of a massive red wave but said wave was wiped out by a simple “ MAGA Republican” speech just weeks before the election?

And bragging about ethanol subsidies? Really?

I hate the ethanol subsidies!

I hate the ethanol subsidies!

And Trump’s support of them reflects his governing philosophy

We are just not going to get any reductions in spending or a reigning in of the size and power of the Federal monster in a Trump second term. Even his most unquestioning supporters don’t even try to argue that point.

They just want to wield its power

Ethanol subsidies are nothing more than payoffs to big corporate political donors AKA one of the multitude of ways politicians have devised to siphon money from the public treasury into their campaign coffers.

In strict scientific terms producing ethanol from corn is a big-time losing proposition. When all inputs are considered, it takes 1.4 units of energy to produce one unit of energy from corn-based ethanol. (It's insane!) @deb

Agreed. I avoid purchasing it if I can. There are many gas stations who offer only ethanol products.

Too little too late.   The GOP has allowed Tumpy and his Stone/Pecker slime machine to control the narrative.

We're screwed until they tar/feather/rail these turds into political oblivion.

You can huff and puff PomPoms but you'll never blow the Reynolds house down sitting from the cheap seats.

Remember Trump didn't win Iowa the last time either. Must suck having no control over what happens here.
