Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tells Iowa Republicans culture war can win elections. DeSantis visits as the Iowa Cancer Registry reveals "Iowa has the second-highest cancer incidence in the nation and is the only state with a rising rate of cancer." (Cedar Rapids Gazette, March 2, 2023).

Iowa Republican time might be better spent fighting the cancer war and not encouraging Iowans to fight each other. But then DeSantis will likely label this another idle notion from the woke left.
