Influential evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats' organization, "The FAMiLY Leader," will be hosting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley for a Thanksgiving Family forum.
Vander Plaats, a faith leader who has endorsed the eventual winner in every contested GOP caucus since 2008, has not yet said who he'll support – but his coveted endorsement could soon go to DeSantis.
On a Monday call with fundraisers, DeSantis told donors he is expecting an endorsement from Vander Plaats' within a week of the roundtable, according to multiple attendees who were on the call. The DeSantis campaign denies the governor said this.

Thanks. I didn’t know.
Amusing watching the out of state media get so worked over Vanderplaats.
He is a minor figure here in Iowa now.
He carries very little influence now.
Just shows the herd mentality of the media.
See, I had it pegged. They will do what they can to make sure Trump doesn’t win. Which will in turn give the win to the Dems. There is no way DeSantis can win. So they are throwing their votes away.
With self destructive friends like that who needs enemies.
Bob Vander Plaats, influential Iowa evangelical leader, endorses DeSantis.

“Most Evangelicals support President Trump.”
They should... But subconsciously their faith overrides all reality and logic. Differences of sects aside, just look at the wokeness and perversion infiltrating them all. The cure? To subconsciously do whatever helps advance the second coming because each one is arrogant and secure that they are one of the chosen ones and have nothing to worry about. Humans are prone to obstructionism, and obstructing Trump helps bring us closer to the positive day of judgement in their minds. Sooner the better is the common consensus.
I will pray for you that you find true faith
I have plenty of faith. But unlike most, I practice it with truth, righteousness, and lack of personal selfishness and hypocrisy. I have now come to realize this is extremely rare...
I am convinced election frauf in Indianapolis by ACORN facilitated that. Largely unreported.
