Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis.
  • Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday came in 2nd place behind former President Trump in the Iowa caucuses.
  • DeSantis staked his campaign on a robust showing in the state, but he has so far not won a single county.
  • DeSantis will likely continue in the presidential race, but his path forward is murkier.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis bet his presidential aspirations on a strong finish in the Iowa caucuses. After Monday night, his future is in significant jeopardy.

With 95% of the expected votes in, DeSantis does not lead in a single of the state's 99 counties. Instead, his biggest feat of the night is holding onto second place in the face of former UN ambassador Nikki Haley's stiff challenge.
