Former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis make competing trips this week to Iowa, the state whose caucuses lead off the Republican presidential nominating calendar

"Do I believe that Donald Trump is ahead in the polls in Iowa? Absolutely. Do I believe that the Iowa caucuses is a done deal? Absolutely not," Kaufmann said."It’s not in our nature to do that. And I think a lot of Iowans would be reticent about calling a caucus before January when we actually have it."

Earlier this month Trump and DeSantis scheduled rival events in Iowa — with the Florida governor headlining events in both the western and eastern parts of the state to fundraise for fellow Republicans, while Trump planned to hold what was billed as a large rally in Des Moines. Never Back Down, the deep-pocketed super PAC supporting DeSantis, has hired political operatives in Iowa as they’ve built up a field operation, sent out mailers, organized events, and showcased a slew of endorsements by state lawmakers., who narrowly edged Trump to win the 2016 Iowa caucuses thanks in part to strong support from social conservative voters. The Trump campaign is cognizant of the DeSantis efforts in Iowa.
