DeSantis Campaign Tempers Iowa Expectations

Ron DeSantis’ team says it would be satisfied with a “strong second-place showing” in Iowa, as the Florida governor intensifies his campaign in the first-in-the-nation caucus state, Politico reports.

Said a DeSantis campaign official: “We believe it’s already a two-person race. But the reality is, on the ballot there are other choices, and our goal is to get this down to a two-person race on the ballot, especially as we head into South Carolina and beyond into March.”
