Former President Donald Trump<\/a> returns on Monday to Iowa, the state that leads off the Republican Party\u2019s presidential nominating calendar, for his trip since launching his third White House campaign in November.<\/p>\n

The former president\u2019s scheduled to roll out new education policy \u2014 with a large dose of culture wars politics mixed in \u2014 at an event at the Adler Theater in Davenport. That\u2019s the southeastern Iowa city along the Mississippi River where Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis <\/a>on Friday kicked off a jam-packed one-day swing through the Hawkeye State.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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\u2019s likely to launch a presidential campaign later this year, after the conclusion of Florida\u2019s current legislative session.<\/p>\n

DeSantis \u2014 in nearly identical speeches in Davenport and later in Des Moines \u2014 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.”<\/p>\n

DESANTIS MAKES FIRST TRIP EVER TO IOWA, AS HE FLIRTS WITH 2024 RUN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The governor is currently crisscrossing the country highlighting his “Florida blueprint” and promoting his newly released memoir, “The Courage to Be Free.” And even though he\u2019s not a candidate, poll after poll suggests he\u2019s the biggest threat to Trump, who remains the most influential figure in the Republican Party and the front-runner in the burgeoning 2024 GOP presidential nomination field<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WHO’S IN AND WHO’S ON THE SIDELINES \u2014 YOUR GUIDE TO THE 2024 GOP PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION RACE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Ahead of his own trip to Iowa<\/a>, Trump took a page from his well-worn playbook and targeted DeSantis, taking to his social media page multiple times on Friday while the Florida governor was in Iowa to criticize DeSantis.<\/p>\n

“No other President was as PRO FARMER as me. Tell that to Ron DeSanctimonious when he shows up to your door, hat in hand. Tell him to go home!” Trump said on Truth Social, as he used one of his derogatory nicknames for the Florida governor.<\/p>\n

“Very small crowds for Ron DeSanctimonious in Iowa. He\u2019s against Farmers, Social Security, and Medicare, so why would people show up – other than Fake stories from the Fake News!,” Trump later wrote as he continued to attack DeSantis, who seemed to pack the room with a healthy crowd at his first stop in Davenport. The governor spent a half an hour after the first event shaking hands, signing books and taking selfies with the enthusiastic crowd.<\/p>\n

TRUMP AND DESANTIS NECK AND NECK IN NEW POLL IN STATE THAT KICKS OFF 2024 GOP CALENDAR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

While DeSantis didn\u2019t react to any of Trump\u2019s jabs, in his twin speeches he once again described his administration as smoothly run in a possible contrast with the constant turnover of staff during Trump\u2019s four years in the White House.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s no drama in our administration,” DeSantis said. “There\u2019s no palace intrigue.”<\/p>\n

While in Iowa, DeSantis also met with a group of Republican state lawmakers in Des Moines and also held closed door meetings with some GOP leaders. Sources in the governor\u2019s wider political orbit say that DeSantis advisers have reached out to several Iowa based Republican operatives about potentially joining the governor\u2019s team, but no decisions have been made to date.<\/p>\n

Trump already has a leadership team in place in Iowa, which includes Eric Branstad. The son of the former longtime Iowa governor who served as an ambassador in the Trump administration, who served as state director of Trump\u2019s 2020 re-election, is back as a senior adviser on the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n

And Republican sources in the state say that Trump and his team have been reaching out ahead of his visit, urging GOP officials and leaders to endorse the former president once again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
