Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is announcing his candidacy this week for the Republican presidential nomination, will need to quickly prove he’s a formidable opponent against former PresidentIowa and its base of evangelical voters may offer the best opportunity for Mr. DeSantis to land a damaging punch against Mr. Trump. The former president has built an enormous lead over all of his GOP opponents in national polls while aggressively attacking the Florida governor as a weak opponent.
“No, Mr. former President, many in the ProLife community do not believe saving babies is too harsh,” tweeted Bob Vander Plaats, head of The Family Leader, a leading Christian organization in the state. “The Iowa Caucus door just flung wide open.” A big win in Iowa, or even “landing within shouting distance,” of Mr. Trump, would help propel Mr. DeSantis to pick up momentum in the next critical primaries in New Hampshire and South Carolina, Mr. Goldford said.Mr. Trump lost the Iowa caucuses in 2016 to Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, who ran to the right of him and captured the backing of the state’s evangelical vote.
Mr. Goldford said Mr. Trump remains extremely popular among Iowa voters and can tout his appointment of the Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion. The most recent Iowa poll, released May 12 by American Greatness, found Mr. Trump leading Mr. DeSantis by 18 percentage points, which shows a much closer race than the average of polls that give Mr. Trump a 37-point advantage.
