This unexpected move is being seen as a subtle dig at his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-blasted-for-dairy-queen-visit-following-trumps-blizzard-blunder\/\" title=\"DeSantis criticized for Dairy Queen visit after Trump's Blizzard mishap.\">potential 2024 presidential opponent<\/a>, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis visited the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chick-fil-a-is-facing-a-sauce-shortage\/\" title=\"Chick-Fil-A Is Facing A Sauce Shortage\">fast food restaurant<\/a> in Boone, Iowa, right after his appearance at the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines. Interestingly, this visit came just a week after Trump&#8217;s own visit to a Dairy Queen location in Council Bluffs.<\/p>\n<h3>A Delicious Reference<\/h3>\n<p>When asked about his choice of dessert, DeSantis playfully remarked, &#8220;My kids love the Blizzards. Cones are great too, but they can get pretty messy in the car, so we try to avoid that.&#8221; This comment seemed to be a direct reference to Trump&#8217;s visit, during which he famously asked, &#8220;What the hell is a Blizzard?&#8221; Trump had ordered Blizzards for everyone in the restaurant as part of his campaign rally.<\/p>\n<p>Noticing the apparent jab at Trump, the former president&#8217;s team and supporters wasted no time in criticizing DeSantis for supposedly stealing Trump&#8217;s ideas.<\/p>\n<h3>A Battle of Campaign Stops<\/h3>\n<p>DeSantis was in town along with other Republican presidential candidates for the summit, which Trump did not attend. The summit serves as a crucial opportunity for candidates to connect with conservative and evangelical voters ahead of the first-in-the-nation caucus.<\/p>\n<p>During the summit, Kari Lake, another candidate, took a swipe at DeSantis. According to a reporter in the room, Lake stood in front of Trump&#8217;s campaign posters and accused DeSantis of copying Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/french-president-macron-slapped-in-the-face-by-member-of-the-public-video-shows\/\" title=\"French President Macron Slapped In The Face By Member Of The Public, Video Shows\">campaign stops<\/a>, as well as Governor Glen Youngkin&#8217;s (R-VA) signature vest.<\/p>\n<h3>A Competitive Race<\/h3>\n<p>Both Trump and DeSantis are vying for the GOP presidential nomination, along with several other notable candidates, including former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Texas Rep. Will Hurd, former Vice President Mike Pence, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, political commentator Larry Elder, businessman Perry Johnson, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds (R) has not yet endorsed any candidate for president.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
