This week Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, who has national political ambitions, endorsed Ron DeSantis over Donald Trump for 2024. This turned quite a few heads, given that DeSantis’ 2024 campaign is in full scale collapse.
Trump, for his part, posted this to social media: “Why would anybody endorse Ron DeSanctimonious, who is like a wounded bird falling from the sky? His Poll numbers are terrible … What’s that all about?”
Trump is so close to getting it. He correctly understands that it’s an extraordinarily move for prominent members of the Republican Party to be endorsing candidates who are in a distant second place. What Trump doesn’t quite get is that Reynolds is endorsing DeSantis because she expects Trump’s 2024 ambitions (and his life) to be destroyed by his criminal trials, and she’s trying to position herself for after Trump takes his inevitable hard fall.
