As Trump ramps up his third White House bid, the former president is reportedly crafting a five-point attack plan to erode Republicans' confidence in DeSantis as a way to weaken who is likely to be Trump's toughest primary opponent. The strategy aims to deter DeSantis from launching a White House bid or at least tarnish his standing should he enter the candidate pool, according to Axios. \">               <meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1M24S\">               <meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-03-03 18:06:13\">               <meta itemprop=\"thumbnailURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/localimages\/1253481_th_1677866773.jpg640726c194a07.jpg\">               <meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/cdn.brid.tv\/live\/partners\/19383\/sd\/1253481.mp4\">              <\/div>\n<p>               <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> var _bp=_bp||[]; _bp.push({ \"div\": \"Brid_77868016\", \"obj\": {\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"16\",\"height\":\"9\",\"video\":\"1253481\"} }); <\/script>               <script type=\"text\/javascript\" async src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script>              <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ArticlePage-articleBody-firstLetter\">W<\/span>The hite House campaign has officially begun <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gop\">GOP<\/a> Iowa sees presidential candidates descend upon it <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\">make their case<\/a> Voters <\/p>\n<p>Gov. <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ron-desantis\">Ron DeSantis<\/a> (R-FL), and the former South Carolina GOP Governor. <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nikki-haley\">Nikki Haley<\/a> On Friday, former President Obama will visit the Hawkeye State. <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> The possibility of a surprise visit by the president is being teased. Iowa is used to this tradition, hosting its first annual party caucuses in every year since 1926. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/desantis-braces-hectic-week\">RON DESANTIS&#8217;S BIG WEEK COMES AS 2024 SPECULATION REACHES FEVER PITCH<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got a trickle of possible and a couple of actual candidates coming through already,&#8221; Dennis Goldford from Drake University, a professor at the Des Moines-based institution since 1985. &#8220;In that sense, it&#8217;s sort of a normal, early trickle.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis will be making his Iowa debut, and stopping by Des Moines on Friday. He&#8217;ll also stop in Davenport where he&#8217;ll join Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA). Florida governor Kim Reynolds (R-IA) has not yet announced his candidacy. <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\">White House<\/a> However, it consistently polls as Trump&#8217;s biggest GOP threat. <\/p>\n<p>Haley will be there as well, and will be speaking with Senator Joni Ernst (R &#8211; IA). Haley has been the only major Republican that has challenged Trump to date and has stated it&#8217;s now time for an a &#8220;new generation of leaders&#8221; Who will? &#8220;look forward.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Trump has said that he will visit the state in the meantime &#8220;very soon,&#8221; More people will be visiting the site ahead of the election. Iowa&#8217;s caucus takes place on Jan. 22, 2024. New Hampshire follows 8 days later. <\/p>\n<p>The interviewees of this story stated that Trump was the GOP candidate to defeat in this election cycle. Another described Trump as an &#8220;amazing&#8221; person. &#8220;10,000-pound gorilla&#8221; And another: He&#8217;s &#8220;the elephant in the room.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s more of a trickle than a flood because on the Republican side, you could argue there is a quasi-incumbent,&#8221; Goldford also added. &#8220;There is a single, dominant figure. You can contrast that on the Republican side to 2016, in which there was a flood of candidates because there was no obvious next in line. That&#8217;s a major difference.&#8221; <\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<figure class=\"Figure mb-1 mb-sm-3 mb-md-1 article-lead-photo data_invisible\" data-align=\"center\" data-image-size=\"fixed\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n<div class=\"Figure-container\"> <picture><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"767\" height=\"442\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><\/source><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" width=\"767\" height=\"442\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><\/source><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"645\" height=\"371\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><\/source><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" width=\"645\" height=\"371\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><\/source><source type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"1060\" height=\"610\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><\/source><source width=\"1060\" height=\"610\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><\/source>                                 <\/picture><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\" itemprop=\"caption\"> Florida Republican Gov.
