Politico’s Rachael Bade Describes the DeSantis Election Party with Allies in Iowa as Total Break in Reality

EXCERPT:

BADE: “It's interesting, I was in Iowa last week, and I asked a lot of Trump supporters about DeSantis, has he been ruining his chances for 2028 by staying in this race? A lot of them told me yes, that they used to like him, and they no longer like him because of the campaign that he's run. But no, look, I mean, I was at his election night party — we were talking about this in the green room — and it felt like there was just a total break in reality. I mean, the DeSantis campaign, all his allies, they were cheering, he had visited 99 counties, not won a single one, and yet they were cheering like they had won this great victory. It just felt like there — it's really hard to see his path. If you can't do well in Iowa, then where is he going to do well?"
