Governor Kim Reynolds (R-IA) said Monday on NBC’s “Nightly News” that she endorsed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for president because she believed he can win in the general election while former President Donald Trump cannot.
Reporter Dasha Burns said, “Tonight Governor Kim Reynolds explaining why she’s breaking with the Iowa tradition of staying neutral and endorsing Ron DeSantis.”
Reynolds said, “I just felt like I couldn’t sit on the sidelines any longer. We have too much at stake.”
DeSantis said, “This one’s obviously very meaningful, because Kim has proven to be a great leader that Iowans love.”
Reynolds said, “I don’t base my decision on polls. I take a look at who I believe is the right person for the right job. I believe that Ron is the right person for the right job. and I believe he’s going to win.”
Burns asked, “Do you believe Trump can’t win?”
Reynolds said, “I believe he can’t win. and I believe that Ron can.”

These UniParty shills just can’t help themselves and must all be considered beholden to foreign money and the MIC donors.
Wow! If he is still on all ballots, he WILL win and Reynolds will have one pissed off President to face up to. She might as well quit if she finds herself in that position.
If political hack grandma with no identifiable job skill or education thinks so.... ok then.
Kim is just plain out of touch with reality or smoking something again.
Finally a Governor with a little sense
Well can't never did nothing.
The longer DeSanctus takes to drop out and endorse Trump, the worse it will be for him in 28. He doesn’t have much time left before he forever loses the base.
Or a poster with none.
I really hate saying this:
Check Reynolds bank accounts.
She believes in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, & the easter bunny too. DeSantis is trending in the wrong direction, downward, not upward. So, what exactly is she basing her belief upon? The GOPe must have threatened her political career, is all I can think of. If so, she is in a no win situation.
Who’s right-her or Chris Christie who thinks he can win more than a pie eating contest.
“Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds says Trump can’t win in 2024 as she endorses Ron DeSantis”
this woman is a complete idiot IF she really believes that; Iowa: you need a new governor, one that’s not a total moron ...
DeSantis couldn’t win dog catcher, unless he padded the ballot box. It’s a good thing he can’t run for Governor again. It will be interesting to see if he’ll wait the required four years, and then run for that office again.
There’s a reason I don’t vote for women.
I would say 20% of the Trump supporters will still vote for Trump even if he’s not on the ballot. If Trump is not on the ballot , the Republicans lose the the Presidency. Period.
If Trump isn’t the President, the democrats turn the country in to a total Communist State. I will write in Donald Trump if I have to. The moment that he’s not the Republican’ nominee. It’s over. This earth is my temporary home, looking for thr rapture and seeing Jesus anyway. In the end , righteousness win.
In my opinion, neither are right. Because it’s not limited to just an either or choice. 🙂
EXCLUSIVE: DeSantis and Reynolds talk about the pressure former Pres. Trump puts on Republicans.
DeSantis: “You could be the best governor ever and he’ll trash you. You could be a terrible, corrupt politician. But if you kiss his ring, then all of a sudden he’ll praise you.”

DeSantis attacked Matt Goetz's actions to vacate McCarthy from the Speaker's seat. He said Gaetz's effort "was performative," and "a lot of theatrics." Gaetz was demonized and criticized by his own party members, DeSantis among them, yet he stuck his neck out, and brought change when it was needed. I searched for any comments from Reynolds about the battle to get a new Speaker, and there were nothing, nothing at all on what DeSantis said, yet she is supporting the man who criticized Gaetz for successfully getting change in the House.
DeSantis Said Gaetz-McCarthy Showdown Was "theatrics," But Florida Congressman Ousted Speaker
