Deja Bù: Mark reconnects with Jessica Harnois, founder Bù Wines | SaltWireWASHINGTON - Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds on Monday endorsed Republican presidential contender Ron DeSantis' bid to be the party's nominee, a much-needed boost to the Florida governor as he seeks to shrink former President Donald Trump's big lead in the polls.
According to a Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll released in late October, 43% of likely caucusgoers planned to vote for Trump, while DeSantis and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley were tied with 16% support. Other candidates were polling in the single digits. Reynolds, 64, is popular among conservatives in Iowa. Some 81% of likely participants in the state's Republican caucuses approve of her, according to an August poll conducted by the Des Moines Register newspaper.
While Reynolds supported Trump during his time in office and campaigned with him during his unsuccessful 2020 re-election bid, their relationship has deteriorated. In recent months, the former president publicly complained that Reynolds had not endorsed him and declined opportunities to appear with her.
