Donald Trump the sexual predator, and Ron DeSantis were planning on fighting for voters at duelling events in Iowa.
Mr DeSantis, who has not yet announced he is running, spent the day shaking hands at a congressman’s annual picnic and then an Iowa Republican Party fundraiser in Cedar Rapids. Trump was originally slated to hold a rally in Des Moines, but later had to cancel because of a tornado warning.

Photos taken minutes after cancellation of the Trump “rally” in Des Moines, which was on its way to becoming an embarrassing bust. Note the lack of severe weather, which was cited as the reason for cancellation. One GOP strategist even speculated on CNN that Trump feared being unable to gather a larger crowd than Mr DeSantis.
His critics on the right jumped on the decision, however, given that Mr DeSantis continued on with his own hand-shaking and voter outreach just a few minutes away from where the former president was set to speak.

Mar 18, 2023: Des Moines Register: 'Here we go again': In Iowa, Pence calls Trump's possible indictment 'politically motivated'
Former Vice President Mike Pence said he's confident Donald Trump "can take care of himself" when it comes Trump's assertion that he expects to be arrested Tuesday, and Pence expressed frustration over "what appears to be a politically motivated prosecution of the former president." |
"Here we go again. Another politically charged prosecution against the former president of the United States," Pence told reporters after a foreign policy forum in Des Moines on Saturday. "I think many Americans are taken aback at the unprecedented indictment of a former president, but also the fact that the Manhattan D.A., in the midst of a crime wave in New York City, then says that indicting the former president is his highest priority. It tells you everything you need to know about the liberal left in this country." 3.18.23 |
