The Florida governor is endorsing dozens of Iowa state legislators as he plans to make a speech in the state on Saturday.
Former President Donald Trump and Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis will both visit the state of Iowa today amid continued speculation that DeSantis intends to enter the 2024 presidential race.
While Trump launched his own campaign shortly after the 2022 midterm elections, DeSantis is widely expected to announce his own bid for the 2024 Republican nomination.
Recent polls show the former president enjoys a substantial lead over DeSantis among potential Republican primary voters but the governor hasn’t officially become a candidate yet.
A YouGov/Yahoo News poll conducted among 451 registered voters from May 5 to 8 showed Trump leading DeSantis with 50 percent support to the governor’s 36 percent in a head-to-head match-up.
When other Republican candidates were included, Trump led with 48 percent support to DeSantis‘ 28 percent, while several others recorded support in the single digits.
