Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida, is expected to announce his 2024 presidential campaign soon and recently made a stop in Iowa to attend a conservative picnic fundraiser. During his speech, he decried a Republican "culture of losing" and hinted at his upcoming candidacy. He also made an unannounced stop at a Des Moines barbecue joint, where he spoke to roughly 100 supporters and highlighted his eagerness to embrace conservative cultural fights. DeSantis is one of many potential candidates vying for the Republican nomination in 2024, and the competition is sure to heat up in the coming months.
