But on the eve of the caucuses, DeSantis is on the brink in a state where he’s banked his entire campaign. Big donors soon discovered that the Florida governor could be a flat and uninspiring candidate. It was a cringeworthy moment that could become a pitiful emblem of busted hopes if the Florida governor doesn’t mount a comeback on Monday. “If the number that we have is anywhere close to reality, he’s going to have a very, very good night,” Vander Plaats said. An Iowa defeat for DeSantis would be especially bitter, because after months on the trail, he’s a far more polished candidate.

GOP Rep. Nancy Mace said an NDAA amendment rolling back abortion protections for military service members was an "asshole move." Get the inside scoop on today’s biggest stories in business, from Wall Street to Silicon Valley — delivered daily. "We should not be taking this fucking vote, man," Mace was overheard saying by a reporter with Politico. And while Mace said she's up to discuss these social debates at any point, she told Politico she was worried about how "partisan" this year's defense spending bill will be. In election postmortems, many have speculated the Supreme Court's decision to gut abortion protections directly boosted Democratic turnout.

Illustration: Alexandra LarkinWashington regulators plan to release postmortems of their oversight of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank before they abruptly collapsed last month, potentially highlighting missteps by both banks’ management and their federal supervisors. The Federal Reserve is expected to release a report Friday morning digging into its handling of SVB, the culmination of a review led by Michael Barr , the Fed’s vice chair for supervision. A second report, expected later in the day from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., will analyze that agency’s oversight of Signature.
