Even though he won the state of Iowa by 7 points in the 2020 election, failed former president Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign in the Hawkeye State is in complete disarray, leading to fear that he might lose to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis or another challenger when the state holds its first in the nation primary next year.
Just this week, a report from NBC News explained the problems taking place for the Trump in Iowa.
The fretting extends even to Trump’s own family members. One Trump-supporting source who has worked in Iowa, who spoke out in an effort to spur change in the campaign, described a phone call with the former president’s son Donald Trump Jr. in which he worried about a lack of experience on the campaign’s Iowa team and said multiple times that they need “an adult in the room.”
Trump Jr. was concerned “that they were running from behind in getting things going, and that there was concern about that at the highest levels,” the source said, adding that “they were giving [Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis too many opportunities.”
Asked for comment, Don Jr. tried to use his father’s “fake news” line, which sounded like famous last words, “As usual, this is 100% fake news, in what is likely the last breath from the dying Ron DeSanctimonious campaign.”
Something that transpired at Saturday’s football game between Iowa and Iowa state suggests that Trump’s so-called “magic” is indeed wearing off, because he got booed by more than a few people in the crowd.
Granted, there are cheers, but there are also more than a few boos. In a deep red state like Iowa, that should definitely concern the Trump campaign.
Twitter users were only too happy to share their thoughts, with many suggesting that even hardcore Republicans are sick and tired of Trump’s bullshit dog and pony show.
