DeSantis Rides High with Power-Packed Endorsement from Vander Plaats!

In a recent turn of events, Bob Vander Plaats, the president and CEO of the Family Leader Foundation, a conservative Christian organization, has thrown his support behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Vander Plaats’s endorsement comes after DeSantis attended the Family Leader Foundation’s presidential Thanksgiving forum in Des Moines, along with other notable figures like former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. According to Vander Plaats, DeSantis had already won him over with his visits to the foundation’s offices and his attendance at church, but it was the Thanksgiving forum that sealed the deal.

In an interview on Fox News, Vander Plaats expressed his confidence in DeSantis’s ability to lead, saying, “You need a president who’s going to surround themselves with the best and brightest people versus having a hard time attracting them again and someone who’s actually going to do what they say they’re going to do, and I just think he’s got the spine to do it, and I think he’s got the experience to win for us.” Vander Plaats has a track record of backing the eventual winners of the Iowa caucuses, including Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum, and Mike Huckabee. His endorsement is seen as a significant win for DeSantis, as Vander Plaats wields considerable influence among evangelical conservatives, a crucial voting bloc in Iowa.

However, it seems that former President Donald Trump is not thrilled with Vander Plaats’s endorsement. Trump took to his new social media platform, Truth Social, to criticize Vander Plaats and suggest that the endorsement was bought and paid for. This comes as no surprise, as Vander Plaats and Trump have had a strained relationship, with Vander Plaats recently stating that Trump is the “biggest risk” for Republicans in the 2024 election. Despite Trump’s reservations, DeSantis has been making strides in Iowa, securing the endorsement of Governor Kim Reynolds, who originally planned to remain neutral.

As the Iowa caucuses draw nearer, DeSantis is hoping that these endorsements will give him the boost he needs to take on Trump. However, recent polls show Trump with a commanding lead in Iowa, making it an uphill battle for DeSantis. Nevertheless, Vander Plaats believes that Iowa is a crucial state and that winning here will solidify DeSantis’s status as a viable contender against Trump. Only time will tell if DeSantis can overcome the odds and secure a victory in the caucuses.
