Trump, DeSantis take their brawl to Iowa
Mr. DeSantis, who announced his campaign on Wednesday, will hold an official kickoff event Tuesday in Des Moines and make several stops around the state a day later., who has been bashing Mr. DeSantis almost nonstop since he jumped into the race, won’t be far behind.
“It’s about exceeding expectations,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center. The pro-life contingency in Iowa praised Mr. DeSantis’ recent signature on Florida legislation banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy and panned Mr. Trump’s criticism of the law as “too harsh.”
“Iowa is still pretty much a Trump state,” said Dennis Goldford, a political science professor at Drake University in Des Moines. Mr. Trump promised, if reelected, to make Iowa ethanol “the center” of his effort to restore American energy production. Ethanol is a critical part of Iowa’s economy.
