DeSantis refuses to quit GOP primary, heads to New Hampshire
Gov. Ron DeSantis Fights Back and Secures Second Place in Iowa Caucuses
In a thrilling turn of events, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) defied all odds and emerged victorious in the Iowa caucuses, securing second place in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Despite facing relentless attacks and a media determined to write him off, DeSantis stood strong and rallied his supporters.
“They threw everything but the kitchen sink at us,” DeSantis declared triumphantly to a cheering crowd at the Sheraton West Des Moines. “They spent almost $50 million attacking us… The media was against us — they were writing our obituary months ago. They even called the election before people even got a chance to vote.”
“Because of your unwavering support, we have punched our ticket out of Iowa, despite all the obstacles thrown our way,” he continued.
DeSantis’s resilience has impressed even his senior campaign officials, who marveled at his ability to withstand the onslaught. “They couldn’t kill him,” one official remarked. “He is not only still standing, but he’s now earned his ticket out of Iowa. This is going to be a long battle ahead, but that is what this campaign is built for. The stakes are too high for this nation, and we will not back down.”
DeSantis strategically focused his efforts on Iowa, aiming to outperform former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in the Hawkeye State and gain momentum for the upcoming contests in New Hampshire and South Carolina. While projections place him in second place behind former President Donald Trump, who secured 51% of the vote, DeSantis’s 21% to Haley’s 19% creates a complex path forward.
The DeSantis campaign also took issue with news outlets prematurely calling the race for Trump, accusing them of election interference. “It is absolutely outrageous that the media would participate in election interference by calling the race before tens of thousands of Iowans even had a chance to vote,” expressed DeSantis campaign communications director Andrew Romeo. “The media is in the tank for Trump, and this is the most egregious example yet.”
Meanwhile, Trump himself addressed his caucus watch party in downtown Des Moines, extending congratulations to DeSantis and Haley and emphasizing the importance of party unity.
