- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held his first official presidential campaign event in Iowa Tuesday night, telling voters in the early nominating state that the nation is “careening toward bankruptcy” in the wake of President Biden’s debt ceiling deal with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
- DeSantis’ appearance at the Eternity Church in Clive, just west of Des Moines, marked his first stop on a three-state, 12-city tour that will also take in the first two primary states, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
- “It is great to be back. And it’s great for me to report that our great American comeback starts by sending Joe Biden back to his basement in Delaware,” DeSantis told the packed house, referencing his campaign’s “Our Great American Comeback Tour”. “I mean, he’s spent so much of his time as president on vacation, we might as well make it permanent.”
