Vivek Beats DeSantis!

If Ron DeSantis could go back in time just a short while ago, I can’t help but feel like he’d think twice about throwing his hat in the 2024 presidential republican primary.

To put it as nicely as possible, things have not gone well for DeSantis…

In Turning Point USA’s straw poll, President Trump won with a dominating 85% of the vote!

It was Vivek Ramaswamy!

Vivek beat all the big names that weren’t named Donald Trump.

Maybe it’s time for DeSantis to go back home and be governor…

DeSantis is freefalling. We call that the Loomer effect. DeSantis has the personality of an anvil while Vivek comes off as a future star of the party.

Todays winner in Iowa, Vivek Ramaswamy… and it wasn’t even close.

Pence, Scott, and Desantis are done, as expected.
