Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis holds campaign event in Council Bluffs
BACK TO YOU. BILL, THANKS FOR KEEP LOOKING AT THAT COMMITMENT. 2024 COVERAGE NOW. REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE RON DESANTIS COMES TO COUNCIL BLUFFS. HE’S SHORING UP SUPPORT AHEAD OF THE PRIMARY FOR KETV. NEWSWATCH SEVEN’S JOEY SAFCHIK WAS AT TODAY’S RALLY AND SHARES HIS MESSAGE WITH VOTERS. WE TALKED TO VOTER AFTER VOTER ABOUT WHETHER GOVERNOR DESANTIS FLAUNTING HIS POLICY IN FLORIDA WOULD BE ENOUGH TO CONVINCE THEM TO VOTE FOR HIM HERE IN IOWA. BUT THEY ALL SAID THEY WANT TO SEE THOSE TWO STATES ON THE SAME PATH. MAYBE FLORIDA IS THE IOWA OF THE SOUTH. AND SO YOU ALL SHOULD BE VERY. YOU SHOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL THAT YOU HAVE FOLKS THAT ARE EXERCISING LEADERSHIP AND DOING A GREAT JOB FOR ONE VOTER, AT LEAST IT WAS JUST AS MUCH ABOUT WHAT THE GOVERNOR DIDN’T SAY AS WHAT HE DID SAY. HE WAS PLEASED TO SEE NO DIRECT ATTACKS ON FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. I LOVED HOW GOVERNOR DESANTIS FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES FROM FRONT TO BACK AND NEVER WANTS ATTACKING HIS OPPOSITION. THAT TRULY TELLS ME THAT HE’S VERY LASER FOCUSED. ALL THE VOTERS WITH WHOM WE SPOKE SAY IT’S TOO EARLY TO DECIDE WHO THEY’LL VOTE FOR IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY, BUT THEY WERE VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT WHAT THEY HEARD INSIDE. AND TODAY, FOR MANY OF THEM, THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS THE ECONOMY.
