"Vivek Ramaswamy's "America First" Campaign Gains Momentum Ahead of Iowa Caucuses"

Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican presidential hopeful, is running an "America first" campaign and urging Iowans to caucus for him to "save Trump." Despite Trump's lead in polls, Ramaswamy has been campaigning extensively in Iowa, positioning himself as Trump's biggest supporter and potential successor. He has leaned into conspiracy theories and secured the endorsement of former Republican representative Steve King. Ramaswamy aims to secure support from Trump backers and has vowed to pardon Trump, characterizing his legal woes as a witch hunt. While positioning himself as a candidate who will "save Trump," he insists he's not running for second place and is committed to removing his name from primary ballots in states where Trump's eligibility is under question unless the former president can appear on those ballots.

"Kim Reynolds, Iowa's Governor, Expected to Endorse DeSantis, Shifting Support from Trump"

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds is expected to endorse Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the Republican presidential primary, a move that could boost DeSantis' campaign and challenge former President Donald Trump's dominance. Reynolds, who is popular among Republicans in her state and chairs the Republican Governors Association, had previously stated she would remain neutral. However, her alignment with DeSantis on issues such as Covid and abortion, along with her frustration with Trump's attacks on her, has led her to endorse DeSantis. The endorsement comes ahead of the Iowa caucuses and the third presidential debate, where DeSantis will aim to gain ground against Trump and separate himself from Nikki Haley.
