Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is leading former President Donald Trump or competing with him in the two states that will kick off the 2024 Republican primary, new polling found.
While Trump has appeared to be the runaway winner during a number of recent national surveys, DeSantis is popular in the states that will set the tone in the upcoming primary for the nomination.
Axios reported that the results of two recent surveys signal that Florida’s recently re-elected governor could make the primary competitive if he joins the race.

The primary will begin with the Iowa Republican caucuses early next year. Voters in New Hampshire will make their voices heard soon after.
Per a recent set of polls conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, a Republican polling firm, DeSantis is leading Trump in Iowa in a potential head-to-head match by eight points.
