“Ron DeSanctimonious short circuits when confronted with the fact he didn’t win a single county in Iowa,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. 

The former president posted an interview that Fox News host Neil Cavuto conducted with DeSantis.

“You look at Iowa. Um, you know, we did it, right?” DeSantis said during the program. “I mean, we got the endorsement of the governor. We won the debates, the Miami debate, the Newsom debate, the NewsNation debate, the CNN debate. We did televised town halls, you know, got a great response.”

“But you didn’t win a single county, right?” Cavuto responded. “I mean… You didn’t win a single one. You visited them all, to your credit, but you didn’t win a single one.”

“But I also had, I mean, you know, how many people would have been able to handle $50 million in ads?” DeSantis fired back. “How many people would have been able to handle all the headwinds we did? I mean, we had a very uphill battle.”

“We dug in and we executed, and we did run hard. We did do well,” he added.

On Saturday, DeSantis abruptly canceled two Sunday appearances planned for NBC’s “Meet the Press” and CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper, and is headed to New Hampshire for Tuesday’s presidential primary.

“The media hits were canceled due to a scheduling issue and will be rescheduled,” DeSantis press secretary Bryan Griffin posted on X.

At his Saturday night rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, Trump took the opportunity to criticize the DeSantis.

“In short, if you want a losing candidate who puts America last, vote for either one of them: Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis,” Trump said to the crowd.

Iowa football dissects LeVar Woods succession plan

Iowa football dissects LeVar Woods succession plan


The loss of LeVar Woods, the Iowa Hawkeyes’ long-time, elite special teams coordinator, cannot be dismissed. The Hawkeyes have consistently been among the nation’s best special teams units, from punting to kicking to owning the return and field position battle.

With LeVar Woods departing Iowa for Big Ten foe, the Michigan State Spartans, the Hawkeyes have a big hole to fill, and head coach Kirk Ferentz spoke to the media this week on what that succession plan may look like.

“Yeah, it’s not a light decision. The trick will be to find the next LeVar Woods. He’s done a fantastic job. He didn’t have the profile necessarily maybe at that point to predict what he was going to do, but he’s done all the work. It’s like a good player; players do the work. LeVar has done a great job immersing himself and learning every aspect and then growing with each and every turn. So I guess I’m describing what we’re looking for, a guy who’s a good coach, who’s eager to take a challenge on, and immerse themselves in that world.

“Special teams is a unique niche, if you will. I’m sure we’ll have good candidates. It’s not pressing right now in my mind. What is pressing is the next two weeks getting ready for the game, and then after that we’ll have eight plus weeks or eight plus months actually to get it right. I don’t plan on waiting until August to fill it, but we’ll figure that out when we get in the new year,” Ferentz said about LeVar Woods.

The past few seasons, Iowa has been elite on special teams with kicker Drew Stevens being incredibly consistent, the punting game flipping fields, and the run of returners consisting of Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Charlie Jones, Cooper DeJean, and Kaden Wetjen.

The Hawkeyes have won more than their fair share of games relying on this unit, and to continue that success, Ferentz needs to hit on this hire.
