"DeSantis and GOP Rivals Escalate Attacks on Haley Amidst 2024 Iowa Caucus Tensions"

In Iowa, Ron DeSantis has intensified his criticism of Nikki Haley, labeling her as not conservative enough and suggesting she's aiming for a vice-presidential nomination. DeSantis also took aim at Donald Trump, emphasizing Trump's lack of presence in Iowa and the potential distraction of his legal issues in a general election. DeSantis expressed confidence in the election system but did not commit to accepting the 2024 presidential results without transparency. He downplayed the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and focused on his campaign's readiness for a long primary process, while also commenting on the recent school shooting in Iowa by pointing to mental health rather than gun policy as the key issue.
