This isn’t the only jab Trump has thrown at Iowa’s governor.

On November 6, 2023, Reynolds officially endorsed him, months after hinting that she would remain neutral.

Trump only endorsed Reynolds in 2022 when she contested for another term.

The Iowa State Governor has also hinted at a personal relationship with Ron and his wife, Casey DeSantis.

However, ABC News believes Kim’s endorsement provides Ron with a lift he needs.

During Trump’s presidency, he lifted the bans on the sale of ethanol E15 during the summertime.

Since Texas Governor Greg Abbott has endorsed Trump, Trump’s policies might benefit Texans more if he wins.
