DeSantis, Trump look to win over Iowa's voters, politicians

DES MOINES, Iowa (NewsNation) — More Republicans are flocking to Iowa this week as the two top contenders in the GOP presidential primary race head to the state, nearly missing one another.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who announced his 2024 run for the White House last week, is scheduled to appear at rallies in the Hawkeye State on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

And as DeSantis' visit ends, former President Donald Trump is scheduled to arrive in the state on Thursday for a private meeting with pastors.

The two just missed each other in Iowa a few weeks ago when Trump canceled his rally due to weather concerns. That same day, DeSantis toured the state.
