Ron DeSantis, vying for the 2024 U.S. Republican presidential nomination, expressed his views on his competitors during a speech in Des Moines, Iowa, on Saturday, January 13. He asserted that his rivals were pursuing different agendas, positioning himself as the sole nominee deeply concerned about the issues faced by his supporters and their families.
Addressing a packed room of supporters, DeSantis criticized former U.S. president Donald Trump, suggesting that Trump was campaigning primarily for his own issues. He also commented on former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, stating that she was "running for the donors' issues."
Furthermore, the Florida governor took a swipe at the current Republican leadership, accusing them of capitulating to Democratic demands. DeSantis is facing a crucial test in the Iowa caucus on Monday, January 15, which marks the first party nominating contest. Lagging behind Trump by over 30 points, he must secure a strong second-place finish to revive his struggling campaign. A significant loss or a third-place finish, particularly behind Haley, could cast doubt on the future of his candidacy.
