The Underdog Speaks
In an interview, DeSantis expressed confidence in his chances despite being considered the underdog. He stated, “I appreciate being the underdog… I do better in those situations, and I think I have a record of doing well as the underdog.”
DeSantis assured that he and his team have been working tirelessly, and he believes that the caucuses will be a turning point. “Monday is going to be the pivot point where, now that people start to actually vote, I think it’s gonna help change the landscape,” he said.
Braving the Cold
The DeSantis campaign will face an additional challenge as the caucuses coincide with bitter cold weather. Forecasts indicate that temperatures in most parts of the state will plummet well below zero.
A Slip in Support
Despite enjoying a significant lead in recent polls, DeSantis has seen his support wane in recent weeks. Haley, his closest competitor, has managed to close the gap and secure second place in multiple polls.
A Dedicated Effort
DeSantis and his campaign have invested substantial resources in Iowa, demonstrating their commitment to the state. In a remarkable feat, DeSantis personally visited every county in Iowa, leaving no stone unturned in his pursuit of the nomination.
