Right now, DeSantis and everyone else running for president trail Former President Donald Trump.

When asked about what had to happen or change to become the GOP front-runner, DeSantis said, “So here’s the thing. When I was running and every race I’ve run early on, nobody said I was the front-runner. I’ve spent the last six weeks spending a lot of time going to rural counties in Iowa. That is not getting a lot of fanfare. It’s certainly not going to move a national poll, but we’re banking people that are going to go caucus for us when it matters.”

DeSantis said people in Iowa and across the country can trust him.

He said he keeps his promises.
