Ron DeSantis and hundreds of supporters and journalists braved blizzard-like conditions Saturday to catch Florida’s governor campaigning ahead of Monday’s Iowa caucuses, the first nominating contest of the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Snow and weather advisories blanketed Iowa as the governor rallied at the West Des Moines headquarters of Never Back Down, a super PAC supporting his presidential aspirations. The governor, who is expected to compete for second place, must survive Iowa — literally and figuratively — to keep his presidential aspirations alive.
