Robert (Ribbit) LaMar
This BLOG also appears in the Washington Examiner where Ribbit Rob appears every Tuesday and Thursday!!!! Ron DeSantis, the Governor of Florida, had high expectations for the Iowa caucuses in the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries. His team knocked on 947,000 doors across Iowa, and he personally visited all 99 counties in the state.
However, despite these efforts, Iowans did not warm up to him as expected. Let’s delve into the details: Iowans’ Reception, he is dour and lecturing. Even though he appealed to some voters, he couldn’t dip deep enough into the well of GOP voters who liked Trump but were open to an alternative.
The alternative vote split roughly in two, leaving Republican Iowa firmly in Trump’s hands as the first ballots of the 2024 presidential contest were cast. DeSantis insisted that he is staying in the race despite finishing a distant second to Trump in the Iowa caucuses.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis A Navy veteran had been whisked into a second term with a fresh set of conservative measures tucked under his arm and an ambitious $100-million political machine built with Iowa in mind.
DeSantis was never able to dip deep enough into that well of GOP voters who like Trump but were open to an alternative. The alternative vote split roughly in two, leaving Republican Iowa firmly in Trump’s hands as the first ballots of the 2024 presidential contest.
DeSantis selected the Iowa caucus as his ideal launching ground His socially conservative message was designed to appeal to the state’s large Evangelical voting bloc. “There may be some differences with me and Donald Trump, and I think that those differences redound to my benefit in a place like Iowa,” DeSantis said. They threw everything at Ron DeSantis. They couldn’t kill him.” The new, retrospective bar for DeSantis was to emerge from Iowa literally still alive. Victory!
