New ad slams Trump for self-centered attacks on Iowa governor.
A New Political Action Committee Slams Trump for Attacks on Gov. Kim Reynolds
A new political action committee has launched a scathing advertisement against former President Donald Trump, criticizing his recent attacks on Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA). The ad, set to air in Iowa next week, was released on Twitter on Friday and features clips of Trump’s controversial Truth Social posts targeting the conservative governor. In these posts, Trump claims credit for her election in 2018.
“Donald Trump is attacking Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds on social media, cutting her out of campaign events, and taking credit for her success,” the Republican Accountability PAC tweeted alongside the 30-second ad. “All because she hasn’t endorsed him. Just more evidence that Donald Trump only cares about himself.”
The ad’s voice-over highlights Reynolds’s popularity in the state and her legislative achievements, such as implementing changes to the state’s tax code and advocating for school choice. A March poll revealed that Reynolds enjoys an impressive 86% approval rating among Iowa Republicans.
The Republican Accountability PAC was established to hold Republicans accountable for their alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which saw President Joe Biden defeat Trump.
“Not every Iowa Republican voter is on Truth Social,” stated Gunner Ramer, the political director of the PAC, in an interview with the Des Moines Register. “We felt the need to amplify this attack and call out Trump for targeting a governor who is well-liked in Iowa.”
While Reynolds has not endorsed any candidate ahead of the Iowa caucuses, she has made appearances at campaign stops in the state for most of the 2024 Republican hopefuls.
Support from Other Republican Candidates
In response to Trump’s attacks, other Republican candidates have rallied around Reynolds. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley praised Reynolds as “a conservative rockstar who has delivered for the people of her state. Like I always say, Iowa grows strong women.”
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), considered Trump’s biggest rival for the nomination, described Reynolds as a “strong leader who knows how to ignore the chirping and get it done.”
