Prospective Iowa Republican primary caucusgoers are pointing to RonDeSantis's policies, rather than his personality, as another reason he is not connecting with the electorate.
DES MOINES, Iowa — Prospective Iowa Republican primary caucusgoers are pointing to Gov. Ron DeSantis's policies, rather than his personality, as another reason he is not connecting with the electorate.
Earlier that day, Kathy Harvey, 66, who could caucus for DeSantis, also expressed concerns about the governor being too right-wing after attending the launch of his two-day five-stop bus tour organized by his super PAC Never Back Down in Chariton. "He needs to stand up for what he believes in and convince the voters that if he is the elected candidate ... he will do what he says he's going to do," the Chariton farmer said.
"I haven't even noticed that," the Oskaloosa assistant said at the town's Smokey Row Coffee."The whole pandemic is really what caught my eye." "We need somebody new with some new ideas, and I like what DeSantis has done in Florida," Hessing, a Pella home school teacher, said."He has proven that he can change things for the better. Being president would be a much bigger job to do that, but I know he's going to definitely try to make the change."
Bryan Person, 50, who is likely to caucus for Trump again, acknowledged the challenge with which DeSantis must contend to persuade supporters of the former president to back him instead because people have"mostly made up their minds."
