Ron DeSantis campaign alleges ‘election interference’ as media calls Iowa early

Gov. Ron DeSantis liked to tell a story at events where his son asked, regarding Iowa, “Is this Heaven?”

After a major under-performance in Monday night’s Hawkeye State caucuses, one could be asking if Iowa does indeed represent the beginning of the DeSantis presidential campaign entering the afterlife, given the campaign’s sharp reaction to the media calling the race, one that overshadowed the Governor’s speech to supporters hours later.

As expected, former President Donald Trump won and took at least a plurality of Iowa delegates, with more than 50% of the vote. The Associated Press and others called the race while caucuses were still underway based on early polls, vexing DeSantis’ campaign manager James Uthmeier, spokesperson Andrew Romeo and others from the Governor’s army of communicators.
