According to an anonymous source close to the situation, Kim Reynolds is likely to endorse Ron DeSantis at his next rally.
Reynolds’ (R-Iowa.) attendance at the Monday night event has been promoted by the DeSantis (R-Fla.) campaign on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
The Iowa governor will also join DeSantis on Tuesday for a meet-and-greet in Davenport, Iowa.
Reynolds previously stated that she would likely remain neutral in the GOP primary race, but she has lately expressed a readiness to support a candidate.
Reynolds’ popularity among Republican voters in Iowa might provide DeSantis with a much-needed boost if he intends to compete against the frontrunner, former President Donald Trump.
Several prominent conservative Iowans weighed in on the endorsement on Sunday, with key Iowa Christian leader Bob Vander Plaats describing it as a “game changer” for the primary.
“She is exceptionally popular and a great competitor,” Vander Plaats said. “She wouldn’t endorse unless she saw a path to victory.”
After Reynolds’ endorsement, Trump’s team claimed in a statement that the governor “promised her constituents that she would remain neutral in the race, but she has completely broken that promise. Regardless, her support will make little difference in this contest.”
In October, polls in Iowa showed Trump leading DeSantis, the next-closest candidate, by 30 points, with Trump being supported by nearly half of prospective Republican caucus-goers.

Will Governor Reynolds’ endorsement be enough to shift undecided voters and give DeSantis the boost he needs to compete against Trump’s strong following in Iowa
A significant gap between them. However, with the endorsement from Governor Reynolds, DeSantis may have a chance to close that gap and gain more support.
Governor Reynolds’ decision to endorse DeSantis comes as a surprise to many, as she had previously stated that she would remain neutral in the GOP primary race. However, it seems that she has had a change of heart and is now ready to throw her support behind a candidate.
Reynolds’ popularity among Republican voters in Iowa is undeniable. She has gained a strong following and has proven herself to be a formidable competitor. Her endorsement of DeSantis could potentially sway undecided voters and give him the boost he needs to compete against the frontrunner, former President Donald Trump.
The endorsement has already garnered attention from prominent conservative figures in Iowa. Bob Vander Plaats, an influential Iowa Christian leader, described Reynolds’ endorsement as a ”game changer” for the primary. He believes that her support will greatly impact the race and potentially shift the dynamics.
However, Trump’s team has dismissed Reynolds’ endorsement, claiming that she has broken her promise to remain neutral in the race. They argue that her support will not make a significant difference in the contest. Despite their statement, it is clear that Reynolds’ endorsement holds weight and could have an impact on DeSantis’ campaign.
Polls conducted in October showed Trump with a significant lead over DeSantis in Iowa. He was ahead by 30 points, with DeSantis trailing behind. However, with Reynolds’ endorsement, the race may become more competitive, and DeSantis could gain ground on Trump.
It remains to be seen how Reynolds’ endorsement will play out in the coming weeks and months leading up to the primary. Will her support be enough to sway voters and boost DeSantis’ campaign? Or will Trump’s strong following in Iowa prove to be insurmountable? Only time will tell.
