Trump Responds After Iowa Gov. Set to Endorse DeSantis for President

After news leaked that Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds will endorse Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for president, Donald Trump is predicting ‘it will be the end of her political career.’

The Iowa Republican plans to endorse Ron DeSantis for president, giving the Florida Governor’s 2024 campaign a boost as he struggles to show progress against Trump in the Republican primary, two people familiar with the matter said Sunday.

DeSantis has pinned his chances of emerging as an alternative to Trump alternative squarely on Iowa.

Trump’s campaign – who had previously snubbed a Reynolds-hosted event where she interviewed the candidates – quickly criticized her on Sunday.

‘Kim Reynolds apparently has begun her retirement tour early as she clearly does not have any ambition for higher office,’ the Trump campaign said in an emailed statement.

‘Earlier this year, she promised her constituents that she would remain neutral in the race, yet she has completely gone back on that promise. Regardless, her endorsement will not make any difference in this race.’

Trump also took to his Truth Social account to rip into Reynolds.

‘If and when Kim Reynolds of Iowa endorses Ron DeSanctimonious, who is absolutely dying in the polls both in Iowa and Nationwide, it will be the end of her political career in that MAGA would never support her again, just as MAGA will never support DeSanctimonious again,’ he wrote.

‘Two extremely disloyal people getting together is, however, a very beautiful thing to watch. They can now remain loyal to each other because nobody else wants them!!!’

He wrote in another Truth post that Reynolds had promised him he would remain neutral throughout the primary.

‘She wanted to campaign with everyone. I told her that I should have ‘remained neutral’ when she asked me to help her get elected, and that I didn’t want or need her to campaign with me. I am now 41+Points up in Iowa!’

Reynolds is well-liked within the GOP and will break with long-standing Iowa tradition to endorse DeSantis.

Iowa’s governor typically stays neutral before the caucuses that kick off the Republicans’ nomination calendar in January.

She is expected to make the official announcement Monday.

Reynolds had introduced DeSantis at political events in Iowa and appeared with Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis – without publicly declaring her support.

But the governor often noted her shared policy priorities and accomplishments, including a bill banning abortion at six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant.

Reynolds, who is in her second term, had left open the possibility of lending her support to a candidate in the January 15 caucuses.

She had introduced Trump at an event in March. But Trump has accused her of disloyalty for weighing an endorsement before the caucuses and tried to take credit for her winning the governorship.

Trump is the heavy favorite to win in Iowa. DeSantis is competing with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley to emerge in the leadoff contest, just ten weeks away, as a viable alternative to Trump.

    DeSantis is backed by one world order followers like Bush, Soros, Ryan and Schwab. Now Reynolds turns on Trump. Id say her political career is over. I hope it is. I’m sick of backstabbing rinos.
