Donald Trump is holding a steady lead in Iowa despite a revolving door of visits and campaign events to the party's first-in-the-nation state from multiple 2024 Republican contenders.
An Emerson College Polling survey found Trump holding a 42-point lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis with 62% of the vote. DeSantis had 20% of the vote. The survey was conducted from May 19-22 — just days before Sen. Tim Scott and DeSantis launched their presidential campaigns on Monday and Wednesday, respectively.“The former president’s base continues to be voters under 35: 75% of whom support Trump, and voters without a college degree: 70% support Trump.
DeSantis emerged from Iowa with 37 endorsements from prominent local and state Iowa politicians, including state Senate President Amy Sinclair and state House Majority Leader Matt Windschitl. He made his case as the Republican with the best chance to take out President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race at two events in Sioux Center and Cedar Rapids, one being an appearance at the Feenstra Family Picnic hosted by Rep. Randy Feenstra .
Now that DeSantis has launched his bid for the White House, he will return to the Hawkeye State to"kick off" his campaign in Des Moines on May 30, followed by a four-day"Our Great American Comeback" tour throughout Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.
