Former President Donald Trump slammed Iowa’s Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds Monday for abstaining from endorsing a GOP presidential primary candidate in 2024.
Reynolds has pledged to “remain neutral” in the primaries, as the Iowa caucus will play the first role in the 2024 season, and continues to host a litany of presidential hopefuls for events in Iowa. Trump took offense to Reynolds’ unwillingness to throw her support behind the former president, and argued she owes him her governorship, according to a Truth Social post.
“I love Iowa, protected & expanded Ethanol, got 28 Billion Dollars from China for our great Farmers, ended the Estate (Death!) Tax on farms, made the best TRADE deals in history (USMCA, China, & many more), introduced the World to our FARMERS, & kept Iowa’s ‘First in the Nation’ status,” Trump wrote. “I opened up the Governor position for Kim Reynolds, & when she fell behind, I ENDORSED her, did big Rallies, & she won. Now, she wants to remain ‘NEUTRAL.’ I don’t invite her to events! DeSanctus down 45 points!”
In 2016, Trump lost the Iowa caucus to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz by 3.3 points, but currently leads Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the state 44% to 21%, according to FiveThirtyEight.
DeSantis and his wife have frequented the key early primary state, and Casey joined Reynolds in launching the campaign’s “Mamas For DeSantis” group in Iowa last week. The couple seem to have a friendship with Reynolds, and are on a first-name basis, according to The New York Times.
Neither Reynolds nor DeSantis immediately responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
