Trump's feud with IAGovernor Kim Reynolds tests his lead in crucial caucuses
Trump's reported rift with the governor escalated on Monday when he took a public swipe at her for being neutral in the state's Republican presidential caucus. Reynolds is popular among Republicans in Iowa, but the quarrel can only factor into voters' decisions if it shows up on their radar.
"Absolutely. It will," said Cody Hoefert, former co-chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa from 2014 to 2021. "Republican voters in Iowa understand the positive things, conservative-wise, that Gov. Reynolds has done since she was first elected. And so she has a high popularity rating, a high favorability rating among Iowa Republicans, specifically."
He further suggested that polling of Republican voters in the state will reflect negatively on Trump because of the move. Deace isn't positive that the story will necessarily reach Republican voters, but if it ultimately does,"whoever hears about this will not be happy."Johnson County GOP Chairwoman Teresa Horton Bumgarner hadn't heard of the feud when asked, but she said,"I would prefer that there is not a rift between any of the candidates and our governor. I think we have a wonderful governor, and I think that's, you know, too bad.
According to Story County GOP Chairman and Nevada, Iowa, Mayor Brett Barker, the story will likely appear in local news for a while."A lot of it probably will blow over, but at the same time, I also don't see how it can be helpful to be critical about a very successful popular governor who really does, you know — it's really her party in Iowa," he said.
