Iowa’s Republican governor Kim Reynolds (above) is set to endorse Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination at a Des Moines rally Monday, sources have confirmed to the Des Moines Register. In an October 25 call with reporters, DeSantis said an endorsement from Reynolds, who was a MAGA acolyte during the Trump administration, would be a “huge get” for his (flagging, financially struggling) presidential campaign.

Donald J. Trump’s reaction was entirely predictable. On his Truth Social outlet, Trump wrote Reynolds’ endorsement “will be the end of her political career,” according to the Register. “If and when Kim Reynolds of Iowa endorses Ron DeSanctimonious, who is absolutely dying in the polls in Iowa and Nationwide (sic), it will be the end of her political career in that MAGA would never support her again, just as MAGA will never support DeSanctimonious again.”

Not-Florida man: Meanwhile, at the Florida Republican Party’s Freedom Summit in Kissimmee, Saturday, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie responded to boos as he walked on the stage, saying “Now look, every one of those boos, every one of those catcalls, every one of those yells will not solve one problem we face in this country. Your anger against the truth is reprehensible.” (The Hill.)
