With the Iowa caucus just 17 days away, Ron DeSantis is actively campaigning across the state, having visited all 99 counties and held around 180 events. His efforts are drawing attention and support, as seen in Elkader, Iowa, where he and Kim Reynolds gathered a significant crowd. Supporters and campaign advocates highlight DeSantis's character and competence, arguing that he is uniquely positioned to unite the GOP and offer genuine leadership. Despite criticisms from some quarters, including accusations of weakness and negative polling at 7% in South Carolina, DeSantis's campaign is described as a ground-winning organization in Iowa. In the midst of a heated race, DeSantis has delivered a sharp critique of Donald Trump at a CNN town hall, warning Republican voters against nominating someone who might be convicted before the 2024 presidential election.
