DeSantis reaches Iowa campaign milestone as Trump turns his focus to Biden
CBSN
Cedar Rapids, Iowa — As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis completed a presidential campaign milestone Saturday afternoon by visiting all 99 counties in Iowa, former President Donald Trump largely ignored his GOP opponent by taking aim at another rival, President Biden, as the two candidates held dueling rallies in the state.
In an event in Cedar Rapids, Trump focused his attacks on Mr. Biden, who he claims is "destroying American democracy." Trump appears to be seeking to frame the primary election as over before any votes have been cast, and focusing his attention on his 2020 rival.
The Trump campaign Saturday handed out new signs reading "Biden attacks Democracy" to rally-goers.
We just had another election with a clear and verifiable victor, overseen by hundreds of thousands of election officials.
