In her own memo, Haley campaign manager Betsy Ankney on Monday described the Iowa contest as a “dead heat” between DeSantis and Haley, while ignoring Trump's massive lead. He has no end game.”The new DeSantis memo points to the political infrastructure that he and an allied super PAC have established across several early voting states. In Iowa, the memo claims “there will soon be 50 dedicated paid staff" and the organizing help of Reynolds, who has her own statewide operation.

Review & Outlook: What started as a row over parental rights legislation has resulted in the Walt Disney Company losing special privileges in Florida—and serves as a wake-up call for other CEOs. Images: Reuters/AP/Miami Herald Composite: Mark KellyThe only thing Democrats enjoy watching more than Ron DeSantis ’s escalating tiff with Disney is the daily Donald Trump show. In Tuesday’s double feature, the former President sided with the woke Mickey Mouse to score points over the Florida Governor. “Disney’s next move will be the announcement that no more money will be invested in Florida because of the Governor,” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. “In fact, they could even announce a slow withdrawal or sale of certain properties, or the whole thing.
Former President Donald Trump and other prominent Republicans criticized Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis ’s latest flare-up with Walt Disney Co., saying he had gone too far in interfering with a private business that is a driver of the state economy. “DeSanctus is being absolutely destroyed by Disney . plan fizzled, so now he’s going back with a new one in order to save face,” Mr. Trump said Tuesday, using a derogatory nickname for the governor, who is expected to soon enter the GOP presidential primary.

Ron DeSantis ’s decision to sign a new Florida law that bans most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy is a political gamble that Democrats are eager to attack. The Governor’s obligation now is to explain and defend it if he wants to win the White House. Though Democrats will never admit it, the current abortion debate vindicates Justice Samuel Alito ’s majority opinion in Dobbs last year overruling Roe v. Wade. “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion,” he wrote. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.”
Ron DeSantis ’s overwhelming re-election win in Florida, following other strong Republican results in the state in recent years, raises a question with profound implications for the national parties: Is Florida now a deep-red state? Many party strategists and political analysts say that while it is premature to declare the change permanent, the combination of a popular governor, heavy GOP investment in voter outreach, years of Democratic dysfunction and slowly building demographic changes have given Republicans an advantage that will be difficult to overcome.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.—Gov. Ron DeSantis ’s huge win in Florida, a standout for Republicans amid disappointments, is fueling a surge in support for his presidential prospects from party leaders, donors and activists in the GOP’s Donald Trump-averse wing, as well as fresh attacks from the former president. Candidates Mr. Trump endorsed in some pivotal races for Senate and governorships lost Tuesday, hurting GOP efforts to regain congressional majorities and control of statehouses. That has prompted some Republicans to more openly call for the party to move past the former president.
