Trump targets DeSantis as former president heads to Iowa on heels of Florida governor’s stop in key 2024 state

Donald Trump takes aim at Ron DeSantis as both likely rivals in the 2024 Republican presidential primary battle stop in Iowa, the state that kicks off the GOP nominating calendar
The competing Trump and DeSantis events could be a split screen preview of things to come as the Republican nomination battle heats up. While DeSantis remains on the 2024 sidelines, his first ever visit to the first caucus state was the clearest signal to date that he’s likely to launch a presidential campaign later this year, after the conclusion of Florida’s current legislative session.
DeSantis — in nearly identical speeches in Davenport and later in Des Moines — touted his culture wars crusade, reiterating "in the state of Florida, we will fight the woke in the legislature. We will fight the woke in education. We will fight the woke in the businesses. We will never ever surrender to the woke mob. Our state is where woke goes to die."
