Over 50 new endorsements for DeSantis ahead of critical caucuses

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : "Other candidates talk, but Ron DeSantis is a true man of unwavering faith and defender of religious liberty who we can trust to unite our nation and revive America," Pastor Jeff Moes of Sunnybrook Community Church told Fox News.
67% : This is a big deal because "religious backing is especially important in Iowa, where strong evangelical support drove Ted Cruz to victory in 2016 over Trump," according to the New York Post.
42% : It's particularly important because Trump is currently beating DeSantis with over 300 endorsements from faith leaders in all of the state's 99 counties, meaning the governor has a lot of last-minute catching up to do.
39% : "In Iowa, DeSantis has a clear opportunity: an electorate that has always been skeptical of Trump, no religious-right alternative, and a local political establishment that is in his corner," Wallace-Wells wrote.
37% : Writing for The New Yorker last month, Benjamin Wallace-Wells speculated that the governor's problem was that he was trying too hard to be just like Trump.
23% : Like his campaign, DeSantis has internalized the notion that what voters want is someone who will fight just as hard on their behalf as Trump.
