- 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.
