DeSantis Campaign Press Release - Ron DeSantis: "Donald Trump is running for his issues. Nikki Haley's running for her donors' issues. I'm running for your issues."

DES MOINES, Iowa – During a CNN Town Hall, Ron DeSantis said:

"Nobody's leading until you guys get to vote. So I actually believe in the process. I've gone to all 99 counties. I've shown up, I've answered questions. You'll see me on the debate stage next week here in Iowa on January 10. Donald Trump's not willing to show up on the debate stage. Has he come to communities and answered questions? Has he gone to all 99 counties? Heck, has even gone to nine counties?

That's not the way to do it. So voters get to make this decision. Don't let the media pick the candidate, let voters decide. And this is a long process. I put in a lot of time, and I will because I think doing 99 counties is the way it's done here. People want to be able to ask your questions, they want to be able to shake your hand. So I've done it because that's what Iowans expect, to do the full Grassley.

We're going to be doing a lot of stuff in the subsequent states, you got to win a massive amount of delegates. And we're going to be in a situation where, we're going to be competing, and it's going to be a long, arduous process. But Iowa starts it off. You guys get to make the decision. Don't let the media or the pundits make the decision. Vote for who you think could be the best president, the United States and I'm here to tell you the choice. I think it's clear. Donald Trump is running for his issues. Nikki Haley's running for her donors' issues. I'm running for your issues. I'm running for your family's issues, and I'm running to turn this country around."
