WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis argued Wednesday in Iowa that the legal challenges against Donald Trump are a Democrat-led scheme to rally support for the former president, propelling him to the Republican nomination as a beatable foe.
The way to fight back, according to DeSantis? Caucus for him instead.
At an early-morning campaign stop in West Des Moines, DeSantis framed the Colorado Supreme Court's 4-3 decision to remove Trump from the primary ballot — and the 91 pending felony charges against Trump — as a conspiracy between Democrats, "the left" and the media to enrage Republican voters and bolster Trump's candidacy.
