Trump moves to put the nail in DeSantis’ campaign coffin

Donald Trump is upping his presence in Iowa in an attempt to close any door on a comeback by Florida governor Ron DeSantis .

Trump plans to make three more stops in Iowa during the first half of October , and again in the final days of the month.

The Florida governor has been out-working Trump in the Hawkeye State , which comes with just 40 delegates.

Florida Gov. DeSantis has been careful not to antagonize Trump ’s supporters, but he and his team have begun to question the former president's Iowa operation.

Opponents of Trump continue to see a vulnerability for him with evangelical voters that populate Iowa , specifically over his record on transgender and LGBTQ rights.

Some Iowa conservatives believe Trump 's recent comments could potentially cost him some caucus goers.
