"DeSantis' Wife Sparks Controversy with Iowa Caucus Invitation"

Casey DeSantis, the wife of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, faced criticism for encouraging out-of-state supporters to participate in the Iowa caucuses, despite caucus rules stating that only residents can vote. The Republican Party of Iowa clarified that nonresidents are barred from caucusing and must be legal residents of Iowa to participate. Former President Donald Trump's campaign accused the DeSantis campaign of spreading misinformation and attempting to rig the caucuses. Casey DeSantis later attempted to clarify her remarks, stating that while voting is limited to registered voters in Iowa, there is a way for others to participate. The Trump campaign called on Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds to clarify caucus eligibility rules and disavow the tactics promoted by DeSantis.
