Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump to Attend Iowa-Iowa State Game

Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, along with other Republicans, attended the annual Iowa-Iowa State football game, also known as the Cy-Hawk game, on September 9. The event, held at the Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, was a significant early moment in the race for the GOP nomination, with Trump, who is leading in the polls and facing legal battles over the 2020 presidential election results, and DeSantis, who is making gains in Iowa, crossing paths. Trump received a mix of reactions as he made his way through the crowd, while DeSantis sat alongside Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds in the bleachers. Despite Trump's absence from the state's campaign traditions, he has been using his visits to boost his profile among Republican voters.
