Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis shifted his priorities to visiting all 99 Iowa counties, as the GOP presidential hopefuls prepare for debate week.

“I don’t think doing the 99 counties is just about the caucus. Like, yes, obviously we’re going to use that too, to win the caucus,” said DeSantis. “I think it has significance beyond there. One, by the fact that I’m willing to do this, should show you that I consider myself a servant, not a ruler, and that’s how people that get elected should consider themselves.”

The visit wrapped up his campaign tour right before the fourth GOP debate on Wednesday in Alabama.

WINK News will be in attendance with live coverage.
