The Republican presidential race is heating up with the most intense rivalry taking center stage. Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley are set to appear in back-to-back Town Hall events in Des Moines and Sioux City, Iowa. With the Iowa caucus only 11 days away, both candidates are ramping up their rhetoric in the fight for second place.
DeSantis has been using every opportunity to attack Haley, especially focusing on comments she made in New Hampshire regarding the importance of Iowa in the primary. He portrays her remarks as a slap in the face to Iowans, suggesting that she is not taking the state seriously and blaming the voters for any potential poor performance. DeSantis has also called her phony, accusing her of lacking core convictions and not understanding Iowa voters.
