Ron DeSantis Takes Iowa by Storm Ahead of Big Game<\/h2>\n<p>Gearing up\u200c for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-to-attend-tailgate-at-iowa-vs-iowa-state-game-where-trump-will-also-appear\/\" title=\"DeSantis joins Trump at Iowa vs. Iowa State game tailgate.\">highly anticipated football game<\/a> between Iowa State and \u200dIowa University, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is making \u2063his presence known\u2062 on the Iowa State campus. But \u2062this visit is about more than just football. DeSantis is on a mission to connect with the people of Iowa, having \u200dalready visited over half\u200d of the state&#8217;s 99 counties.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s campaign and super PAC, &#8220;Never \u2062Back Down,&#8221; have set up offices in Des Moines, strategically positioning themselves to make \u200ca lasting impact. In fact, AdImpact,\u200c an advertisement\u2063 tracking firm, reports that the PAC has invested a whopping $16 million in Iowa market\u2063 television ads.\u2063 And they&#8217;re not stopping\u2063 there. A new $25 million ad\u2064 is set to run through the end of \u200dOctober, \u200censuring DeSantis&#8217;s message reaches every corner of the state.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump Joins the Game<\/h3>\n<p>Adding to \u2063the excitement, former President Donald Trump will also be in attendance at the game. According\u200c to the RealClearPolitics Iowa tracker, Trump is currently polling 26 points higher than DeSantis, making him the clear frontrunner. This isn&#8217;t Trump&#8217;s first time at this\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/week-three-college-football-recap-top-10-teams-survive\/\" title=\"Week Three College Football Recap: Top 10 Teams Survive\">rivalry game<\/a> either. Back in 2015, he made an appearance\u2064 while on his first campaign trail.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis has\u2064 been gaining momentum in Iowa, securing a crucial endorsement from Dr. Cody Hoefert, the former co-chairman of \u2063the Iowa\u2062 Republican\u2064 Party. Hoefert, who served as co-chairman\u2063 from 2014 to 2021, praised DeSantis&#8217;s performance at the Republican National\u2062 Committee&#8217;s primary debate. \u200bThis endorsement further solidifies DeSantis&#8217;s standing among Iowa Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>While\u2063 DeSantis has been\u2063 making waves in Iowa, he\u2062 hasn&#8217;t forgotten about his home state \u2062of Florida. Fresh from assessing the \u2064damage caused by Hurricane \u2064Idalia, the\u2064 governor has \u2062been working tirelessly to ensure the well-being of his constituents. President Joe Biden also visited the affected areas, but contrary to previous claims, there\u200c were no\u200b plans\u200d for \u200ca meeting between the \u2063two leaders. Instead,\u200c Biden was accompanied by \u2064Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Live\u200b Oak Mayor Frank Davis. DeSantis&#8217;s visit to Iowa \u200bmarks his first campaign \u2064stop since the \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-shapiro-predicts-medias-disaster-response-as-ian-pummels-florida\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro Predicts Media\u2019s Disaster Response As Ian Pummels Florida\">hurricane made landfall<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p>The Importance of Iowa<\/p>\n<p>As the first caucus in \u2063the nation, Iowa holds significant weight in the political landscape. \u2062Republican\u200d candidates are well \u200daware of this and are scrambling to make a strong impression in the state.
