Eyeing 2024, Trump, DeSantis make treks to Iowa

2024 Republican campaign activity is heating up in Iowa — the leadoff caucus state. The two Republicans leading the early presidential polls already have their sights on Iowa. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is not yet a formal candidate, made his first visit to the state on Friday. He’s a top-tier presidential prospect viewed as a rival to Donald Trump. On Monday, the former president pays a visit to Iowa for the first time since announcing his re-election bid. Several other GOP presidential hopefuls have also made early stops in Iowa.
