Milwaukee, WI- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is urging Iowa Republicans to be wary because he doubts that President Biden will be the Democratic presidential nominee.
Radio Iowa reports that DeSantis spoke Wednesday at a luncheon for Iowa delegates at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. He said the knives are out for Biden.
“The entire media that’s trying to push Biden out, they’re doing that for a reason,” DeSantis said. “They’re not doing it to help Trump. They’re doing it to beat Trump because they think they need a different candidate to do it.”
DeSantis says it would be rare for someone in Biden’s position to set aside — and a Biden versus Trump rematch would turn out well for Republicans. “But I think we need to prepare that somethng can happen,” DeSantis said, “and something probably will.”
DeSantis was the second place finisher in the Iowa GOP’s Caucuses in January. There’s speculation he’ll run again for president in 2028.
