Des Moines, Iowa — Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has made his first campaign-style trip to Iowa, drawing large crowds in Davenport and Des Moines.
Governor Kim Reynolds introduced him at both events, as she’s appearing alongside both declared and likely 2024 GOP presidential candidates.
DeSantis and Reynolds discussed the agendas they’re at the state level, with similar proposals and laws in both states. Both emphasized their approach to the pandemic and their decisions to re-open schools in Iowa and Florida.
DeSantis touted his approach to quickly rebuilding a key bridge after the devastating hurricane that hit south Florida in September.
Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak in Davenport tonight (Monday). It will be Trump’s first event in Iowa since Trump announced he’d run again in 2024.
