Governor’s revolt: Why Iowa’s Kim Reynolds split from Trump ahead of caucus – Al Jazeera

It’s interesting how politicians often change their stances based on what they think will benefit them the most. In this case, Governor Kim Reynolds decided to break with tradition and endorse a Trump rival ahead of the Iowa caucus. She probably believes that supporting a different candidate will give her a better chance at gaining popularity and potentially securing a higher position within the party or even in the government. It’s a risky move, as Donald Trump is known for holding grudges and potentially taking revenge against those who go against him. However, it shows that Reynolds is not afraid to go against the mainstream and make decisions that could potentially boost her career. It also highlights the fact that there are factions within the Republican Party that may not fully support Trump, indicating that there could be divisions and disagreements within the party. overall, it’s a strategic move by Reynolds, but it remains to be seen whether it will pay off in the long run.
