Former Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-pence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Pence</a> has officially launched his 2024 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presidential campaign</a>, just days after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mike-pence-files-for-2024-presidential-run" target="_blank" rel="noopener">officially filing to run</a>. 
Pence, who represented Indiana in the House of Representatives from 2001-2013 before becoming governor of the Hoosier State, announced his launch in a campaign video released early Wednesday morning. 
&#8220;President Joe Biden and the radical left have weakened America at home and abroad,&#8221; Pence said in the video. &#8220;We can turn this country around. But different times call for different leadership.&#8221;

“I have long believed to whom much is given much will be required. My family and I have been blessed beyond measure with opportunities to serve this nation and it would be easy to stay on the sidelines. But that’s not how I was raised. That’s why today, before God and my family, I’m announcing I’m running for president of the United States,” he added.  
Throughout the video, Pence discussed securing the southern border, strengthening the economy, pursuing a balanced budget, and creating new opportunities. He talked about bringing the country “back,” saying that “the best days for the greatest nation on Earth are yet to come.”

As governor of Indiana, Pence implemented the largest tax cut in Indiana’s history, lowering individual income tax rates, the business personal property tax, and the corporate income tax, and also signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, later amending it after enormous corporate pressure. 
As vice president, Pence chaired the White House Coronavirus Task Force and certified the results of the 2020 presidential election after Trump requested that he not do so. He becomes the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/06/us/politics/pence-trump-presidential-campaign.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first former</a> vice president to run against the president he served with in the modern era. 
“I think we’ll have better choices,” Pence <a href="https://apnews.com/article/pence-trump-president-2024-campaign-19ee44bb97c7c3131631077917056446" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said recently</a> of Trump’s effort to win the 2024 nomination. “The American people want us to return to the policies of the Trump-Pence administration, but I think they want to see leadership that reflects more of the character of the American people.”
Pence will speak to supporters in Des Moines, Iowa, a critical GOP primary state, later on Wednesday. He joins a growing pool of GOP hopefuls, including former President Donald Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.

Republican presidential candidate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nikki-haley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikki Haley</a> argued the United States has a national security interest in backing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ukraine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ukraine</a> until Russia withdraws from the country.
During a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> town hall Sunday evening, Haley sought to contrast herself with two of the GOP front-runners, former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, accusing them of being “too trustful” of Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin, while making her case for supporting Ukraine.
“This is bigger than Ukraine. This is a war about freedom, and it’s one we have to win,” Haley said when asked why the war between Russia and Ukraine “should matter to Americans.”
Haley, a former United Nations ambassador and governor of South Carolina, said that ensuring Ukraine beats back the Russian invasion is about deterrence and keeping a stable world order.
“When China said they were going to take Hong Kong, they did it. Russia said they were going to invade Ukraine, we watched that happen. China says Taiwan is next, we better believe them. Russia said Poland and the Baltics are next, if that happens we are looking at a world war,” Haley said. “This is about preventing war, and the way you prevent wars – not that we give cash to Ukraine, not that we put troops on the ground – but that we get with our allies and we make sure we give them the equipment and the ammunition to win.”
Responding to a prompt by CNN anchor Jake Tapper, Haley launched into an attack on Trump and DeSantis over their statements on the war in Ukraine.
“They’re too trustful. You can’t be trustful of a regime that goes in and tries to take away people’s freedoms,” Haley said.
“For them to sit there and say that this is a ‘territorial dispute,’ that’s just not the case,” she said, referencing a March statement DeSantis made to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “To say that we should stay neutral, it is in the best interests of America, it is in the best interests of our national security for Ukraine to win. We have to see this through. We have to finish it.”

Trump gave his thoughts on the war in Ukraine during a CNN <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L07fMoafVh4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">town hall</a> last month. The former president said that he would “have that war settled in one day” if elected. When asked if he wanted Ukraine to win the war, he responded, “I don’t think in terms of winning and losing. I think in terms of getting it settled so we stop killing all these people.”
DeSantis, in his <a href="https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1635446265692532738" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> to Carlson, argued the United States should stop providing “blank check” funding to Ukraine without more clearly-defined goals in trying to end the war.
“While the U.S. has many vital national interests … becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them,” DeSantis said. “The Biden administration’s virtual ‘blank check’ funding of this conflict for ‘as long as it takes,’ without any defined objectives or accountability, distracts from our country’s most pressing challenges.”

First responders found the bodies of three remaining missing men in the rubble of a partially collapsed apartment building in Davenport, Iowa, according to authorities.
About a week after the partial collapse on Sunday, May 28, searchers recovered the bodies of Branden Colvin Sr., 42, Ryan Hitchcock, 51, and Daniel Prien, 60, Davenport Police Chief Jeffery Bladel said on Monday, as reported by the <a href="https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/three-bodies-recovered-in-iowa-building-collapse-lawsuit-accuses-city-and-owners-of-negligence/">Associated Press</a>.
City officials said earlier that the three men had a “high probability of being home at the time of the collapse.” Searching for the men had proven dangerous: the AP report noted that the six-story building was constantly in motion the first 24 to 36 hours after the collapse, putting rescuers at great risk.
Davenport officials <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/officials-plan-to-demolish-partially-collapsed-apartment-building-community-members-say-loved-ones-still-missing">faced</a> the dilemma of whether to demolish the building due to hazards posed to the community or to continue the search for the bodies and possibly survivors in what remained of the frail building.  The building has not been demolished as of Monday, but the officials <a href="https://abc7ny.com/davenport-building-collapse-iowa-apartment-collapsed-ia-branden-colvin/13323198/">plan</a> to “quickly stage the site for tear down,&#8221; the AP reported.
Eight survivors were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/8-people-rescued-after-apartment-building-partially-collapses-in-iowa">rescued</a> from the building in the 48-hour period following the collapse, with one needing a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/iowa-apartment-collapse-survivor-had-leg-amputated-to-free-her-from-rubble-two-people-likely-still-in-building">leg amputation</a> to free her from the rubble.  Bladel <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/katherinehamilton/2023/06/05/three-bodies-found-in-collapsed-iowa-apartment-building/?sh=7b2c10e72852">said</a> officials do not believe anyone else is missing, following a ninth rescue on the night of Monday, May 31st.
Following the collapse, documents released by the city revealed that the building was the subject of numerous complaints both to the owner, Davenport Hotel, LLC, and the City of Davenport. One resident, Dayna Feuerbach, sued the city and apartment owner Monday, alleging multiple counts of negligence.  
“The city had warning after warning,” attorney Jeffrey Goodman told the AP. “They had the responsibility to make sure that the safety of the citizens comes first. It is very clear that the city of Davenport didn’t do that.”
Davenport Mayor Mike Matson <a href="https://apnews.com/article/building-collapse-davenport-iowa-3c07ad16dd48457e2adcaf41f000fc77">expressed remorse on</a> Thursday — before the bodies were found. “Do I have regrets about this tragedy and about people potentially losing their lives? Hell yeah,&#8221; Matson said. &#8220;Do I think about this every moment? Hell yeah.  I have regrets about a lot of things. Believe me, we’re going to look at that.”
The city has sought enforcement against the owner of Davenport Hotel Andrew Wold for failure to maintain the property “in a safe, sanitary, and structurally sound condition” before the collapse. The city is seeking a $300 fine plus $95 in court fees.

Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> said during a campaign stop in Iowa over the weekend that as President of the United States, he will shut down the southern border.
DeSantis made the remarks during Sen. Joni Ernst&#8217;s (R-IA) annual &#8220;Roast and Ride&#8221; event, where candidates get a chance to meet with voters who are very politically engaged and who participate in the state&#8217;s GOP presidential caucus.
All the major Republican presidential candidates attended the event except former President Donald Trump.
While speaking with voters, DeSantis addressed a variety of key issues that are important to Republican voters, including border security, the U.S. military, and wokeness.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve heard, as a Republican, talk about this southern border for years and years and years,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;I will finally be the president to bring this issue to a conclusion. We will shut the border down.&#8221;
&#8220;We will build a border wall. We will end mass migration into this country,&#8221; DeSantis continued. &#8220;And we will hold the Mexican drug cartels accountable for the carnage they have unleashed on the American people.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
DeSantis also addressed the issue of wokeness in the U.S. military, saying that if he becomes president, the military will go back to basics on his first day in office.
&#8220;I&#8217;m proud to have served in the United States Navy and done a tour in Iraq and the people I serve with were honorable, patriotic people,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;For you veterans in the crowd, thank you for your service. I think all of us have a sense of pride and being able to wear the cloth of your country.&#8221;

&#8220;But we&#8217;ve seen the military become politicized in recent years. You see woke agenda being imposed on it,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;On day one as commander-in-chief, I rip it all out.

Ron DeSantis On The U.S. Border: Will Shut It Down, Build A Wall, End Mass Migration

Border Crisis

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> and Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> traded punches Thursday over the advantages of experience in office versus the ability to serve multiple terms.
Speaking to a group of voters in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/iowa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iowa</a>, the former president said his second term in office would start much faster than his first, and that he could reverse the Biden administration’s impact on the country in six months.
“It will be a beautiful thing to watch. It’s going to happen very quickly,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FycnTeM_B2A" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Trump. “And I’m very experienced now. It’s not like I’m going in saying ‘This is a nice office. Is this the Oval Office?’ It takes you about a year to sort of say, ‘Can you believe this? This is the Oval Office.’ I won’t have to say that.”
Trump contrasted his experience with one of DeSantis’ attacks against the former president: that DeSantis, if elected, will have the ability to run for another term.
“I’ve been watching DeSanctus go out and say ‘I’ve got eight years. It’s going to be eight years.’ Let me tell you something, right there you should vote against him,” Trump said, referring to the Florida governor with one of Trump’s trademark nicknames. “It’ll take me six months to have it totally the way it was. We’ll have it fast. It’s drilling, it’s the wall, and it’s getting criminals out of our country that have been allowed to come in so freely.”
A reporter brought Trump’s promise to make the U.S. “the way it was” in six months to DeSantis, who was campaigning about 1,200 miles away in New Hampshire. “Why didn’t he do it his first four years?” DeSantis quipped.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In previous remarks, DeSantis has said the fact Trump can only serve four more years will undermine Republican governance in the future. Getting a president elected of the same party as the incumbent is difficult, and has not been done since George H. W. Bush took over from Ronald Reagan after the 1988 election.
Trump has dismissed the criticism, saying that a Republican get elected after his second term and serve eight more years in office after him.

A woman trapped under rubble from the partial <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/8-people-rescued-after-apartment-building-partially-collapses-in-iowa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collapse</a> of a six-story apartment building in Iowa was freed after first responders amputated her leg Monday. 
Quanishia White-Berry is recovering in a hospital after being pinned underneath debris from the apartment building that suddenly collapsed Sunday evening in the eastern Iowa city of Davenport. First responders amputated White-Berry’s left leg above her knee, giving her pain-numbing medication before operating on her at the site of the disaster, The Quad City Times <a href="https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fqctimes.com%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fgovt-and-politics%2Frescue-of-davenport-woman-from-building-wreckage-took-hours-amputation%2Farticle_e9e17710-5474-5d3c-b832-5f7053cbc454.html">reported</a>. 
“There was a lot of debris and things surrounding her and her legs were pinned down,” White-Berry’s wife Lexus said. “They were able to get one leg out, but the other leg in order to get her out, they had to amputate it.”
Lexus made it out of the building, but Quanishia was trapped. Lexus stayed near the partially destroyed apartment building for the rest of the evening hoping to hear good news about Quanishia before authorities informed her that she was alive. 
“It was a sense of relief because I had been in the dark for so long, but I said: ‘I don’t feel like she’s gone. I feel like she’s just trapped somewhere. I know she’s just trapped. She’s going to hang on,’“ Lexus said.
Quanishia was alive, but her left leg was pinned underneath pieces of the building that came crashing down. First responders chose to amputate the leg to free her from the building. First responders allowed Lexus to see her wife, but then made her wait outside as they performed the amputation. 
“Every time they got any type of new activity, they’d come to tell me that: ‘OK, we’re getting closer and closer. We’re moving stuff,’” Lexus said. “ ‘OK can’t get her now; OK we’re almost there.’”
“It was a scene that I’ll never forget,” Lexus added. “I’ll never forget that image of the way she was trapped.
Quanishia was heavily sedated and on a ventilator Tuesday, according to Lexus. Doctors are still assessing whether the woman will need additional surgeries and treatments. 
Two men are believed to still be trapped under the rubble, The Quad City Times reported. The city faces a dilemma — to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/officials-plan-to-demolish-partially-collapsed-apartment-building-community-members-say-loved-ones-still-missing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demolish</a> the building or continue with search operations as the partially destroyed building poses a risk to the surrounding area — according to engineers who inspected the building. The debris pile at the bottom of the building is stabilizing the rest of the structure, and removing it “could jeopardize or accelerate the inevitable collapse,” the engineers said, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/davenport-iowa-building-partial-collpase-total-collapse-imminent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to CBS News.
Authorities have not yet reported any fatalities, and the cause of the collapse remains under investigation. 
Davenport Fire Chief Carlsten said Monday morning that the rescue operation would soon “become a recovery operation” as there was no “credible information” of missing people still in the building, but a ninth person was saved from the wreckage Monday night — more than 24 hours after the collapse.
After the ninth person was rescued on Monday night, city officials appeared to revise their plan to demolish the building that was set to begin Tuesday morning. In a news release on Monday, officials had said the entire building was “in imminent danger of collapse” and “demolition is expected to commence in the morning [Tuesday].” But on Tuesday, Davenport Chief Strategy Officer for Administration Sarah Ott issued a statement that said the demolition “is a multi-phase process that includes permitting and staging of equipment that will begin today. The timing of the physical demolition of the property is still [being] evaluated.”

Republican presidential candidate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> took on President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump during his first official campaign tour to Iowa this week.
Approximately 500 people packed into a church in Des Moines to watch the governor of Florida speak on a variety of issues plaguing the country, including a spiraling national debt, Mexican drug cartels, millions of illegal aliens flooding the U.S. southern border, and more.
DeSantis hit the Biden administration for &#8220;doing all it can to make it harder for the average family to make ends meet and to attain and maintain a middle-class lifestyle.&#8221;
&#8220;Biden is deliberately trying to kneecap our energy production,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And he&#8217;s trying to force Americans into electric vehicles, which will make us more reliant on China who provides most of the materials for the batteries.&#8221;
DeSantis blasted the political Left for infecting America&#8217;s institutions with radical cultural ideals, which he said has sewn &#8220;divisions in our society and devalues merit and achievement.&#8221;
&#8220;Restoring sanity means we can&#8217;t have every major institution in our country going on ideological joy rides, we have to be guided by reality, by facts and by our enduring principles,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Merit must trump identity politics.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
DeSantis spoke about the need to restore the U.S. military because &#8220;morale is declining and recruiting is suffering&#8221; and touted his record in responding to the COVID pandemic while blasting public health bureaucrats like Dr. Anthony Fauci.
&#8220;We in the state of Florida held the line when freedom hung in the balance, we refused to allow our state to descend into some type of Fauci dystopia, where people&#8217;s livelihoods were destroyed and their freedoms were curtailed,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We protected people&#8217;s rights. And like Governor Kim Reynolds, we ensured our kids had the right to be in school in person. In Florida, we chose freedom over Faucism, and we are better for doing that.&#8221;
DeSantis also took a shot at Republicans who sided with Disney as the state has battled with the company in recent months.

2024 Election

Officials in Iowa plan to demolish an apartment building that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/8-people-rescued-after-apartment-building-partially-collapses-in-iowa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">partially collapsed</a> over the weekend, but some in the community say their loved ones are still missing following the disaster. 
A large section of the six-story building in the Eastern Iowa town of Davenport came crashing to the ground Sunday evening. Seven people were rescued immediately after, and an eighth person was rescued overnight Sunday. Davenport Fire Chief Carlsten said Monday morning that the rescue operation would soon “become a recovery operation” as there was no “credible information” of missing people still in the building, but a ninth person was saved from the wreckage Monday night — more than 24 hours after the collapse. 
Lisa Brooks was pulled to safety from the 84-unit building after calling her daughter from the fourth floor in a section of the building that was still intact. Her family immediately alerted firefighters, who reached Brooks with a bucket and pulled her to safety, The Quad-City Times <a href="https://qctimes.com/news/local/after-more-than-a-day-woman-discovered-and-rescue-from-partially-collapsed-building/article_434c769b-b629-5855-af22-9e165b412a95.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
The timeline to find anyone still trapped in the building or the rubble is growing tight. According to a city news release, the safety of the surrounding area depends on demolishing the building as soon as possible. The city is in a dilemma as officials must choose how to proceed with search operations. Engineers said the debris pile at the bottom of the building is stabilizing the rest of the structure, and removing it &#8220;could jeopardize or accelerate the inevitable collapse,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/davenport-iowa-building-partial-collpase-total-collapse-imminent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to CBS News.
After the most recent rescue, city officials appeared to revise their plan to demolish the building that was set to begin Tuesday morning. In a news release on Monday, officials had said the entire building was &#8220;in imminent danger of collapse” and “demolition is expected to commence in the morning [Tuesday].” But on Tuesday, Davenport Chief Strategy Officer for Administration Sarah Ott issued a statement that said the demolition &#8220;is a multi-phase process that includes permitting and staging of equipment that will begin today. The timing of the physical demolition of the property is still [being] evaluated.&#8221;
Police said Monday that they were working to make contact with everyone who lived in the building, but &#8220;there are unaccounted individuals that were residents of the property.&#8221; Authorities have not reported any fatalities, and it remains unclear what caused the section of the apartment building to suddenly collapse. Families gathered outside the building searching for answers as they tried to tell officials that they still had not heard from loved ones since the collapse, The Des Moines Register <a href="https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/2023/05/29/davenport-apartment-collapse-families-missing-updates/70266846007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. 
Antoine Smith Sr. said he was still waiting to hear if his aunt and a friend had made it out safely. 
“I don’t want to come off in a negative way, but things like this, when they transpire and they’re not communicating, this is not winning over the people within the community,” Smith said.

Branden Colvin, who lived on the fifth floor, is reportedly missing after relatives said he didn’t show up to a family gathering Sunday.
“He didn’t make it, so then we heard about this building collapse where he lived, and we just assumed he must have been in the building,” said Colvin’s aunt Johnnie Woods.

Authorities in Davenport, Iowa are conducting a massive search and rescue operation after a six-story apartment building partially collapsed Sunday evening. So far, authorities have not released the number of any possible casualties or injuries. It’s unclear what caused the building to crumble, but officials say that they found a gas leak and water leaking when they arrived at the scene. Eight have been saved so far.

President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevi. McCarthy (R-CA) struck a deal over the weekend to raise the nation’s debt ceiling – with the clock ticking down on default. The Democratic president and Republican House speaker reached a final agreement late on Sunday, as negotiators scrambled to draft and submit the bill text for review. The text includes various spending cuts and increased work requirements for food stamp recipients, which Democrats had initially called a non-starter. Congress has until June 5th to vote on the measure. We’ll discuss the latest on the negotiations tomorrow morning.

Retail giant Target has lost $10 billion in market capitalization in ten days, apparently due in large part to the backlash over prominent LGBTQ+ PRIDE displays – including transgender-friendly clothing items for children. As of Monday morning, the stock price had dropped to under $140 per share which translates to a 14% decrease in value for the Minnesota-based company.

The families of two of the four victims slain in the University of Idaho killings last year reportedly have signaled that they support the death penalty for the 28-year-old man accused of the quadruple murder.

Paxton faces 20 articles of impeachment — including accusations of violating the state’s whistleblower law, entering into a settlement agreement with the whistleblowers that provides for payment of the settlement from public funds,” violating the Securities Act, and more. Paxton has slammed the impeachment as “illegal, unethical, and profoundly unjust” after the vote. Now, the state senate will begin its trial which requires two-thirds support for the removal of the attorney general. We’ll have a full report tomorrow morning.

Authorities have rescued eight people as search efforts continue after an apartment building in Davenport, Iowa, partially collapsed Sunday evening. 
First responders arrived on the scene around 5:00 p.m. local time Sunday to find that a large section of the six-story building had given way. Seven people were rescued immediately, and an eighth person trapped in the rubble was found overnight, Davenport Fire Chief Michael Carlsten said Monday morning, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/building-collapse-davenport-iowa-86e5416fc364386cc12faf4e6711d5b5">according</a> to the Associated Press.  
Rescue teams with canines searched the building all night, and the fire chief said Monday that “No known individuals are trapped in that facility,” The Quad-City Times <a href="https://qctimes.com/davenport-officials-no-deaths-reported-in-building-collapse-no-credible-evidence-of-missing-people/article_6f73830c-714e-5b51-9d3d-6a7746b2a361.html?utm_campaign=blox&amp;utm_medium=social">reported</a>. Carlsten added that the rescue operation would soon “become a recovery operation&#8221; as there was no &#8220;credible evidence&#8221; of missing people. Authorities did not report any fatalities or say how many people were injured as of Monday morning, and it remains unclear what caused the section of the apartment building to suddenly collapse.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
After arriving on the scene, fire crews found a “large natural gas leak,” and water was also leaking from pipes that had broken. The gas and water lines were shut off, but authorities remained concerned about the rest of the building’s structural integrity. 
&#8220;Even while we were on scene, we still had multiple secondary drops of debris coming from that structure,&#8221; Carlsten said. &#8220;We want to make sure all our responders can &#8230; process through in a safe manner, but we still want to get through there as quickly as possible.&#8221;
Crews had been working on the exterior brick walls at the time of the collapse, and there were reports of falling bricks during the repair work last week, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/davenport-iowa-building-collapse/">reported</a>. The owner of the building had obtained a permit for the repair work. The county assessor’s office also <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/iowa-apartment-building-partially-collapses-prompting-massive-rescue-effort">said</a> nearly 20 permits were filed last year for repair work on the building’s electrical and plumbing issues.

Jennifer Smith, who owns a business in the building, complained about water leaking into her business and said that requests to fix the problem were ignored. 
&#8220;We call and report it and it&#8217;s always, &#8216;We&#8217;ll fix it, we&#8217;ll be there,&#8217; and they don&#8217;t,&#8221; she told the Quad-City Times.

Davenport, Iowa, apartment collapse

8 People Rescued After Apartment Building Partially Collapses In Iowa

Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> arrived in Des Moines, Iowa, Saturday evening for an unplanned last minute stop to meet with local conservatives after former President Donald Trump canceled a rally that he was supposed to host there over weather concerns.
DeSantis arrived at Jethro&#8217;s BBQ after crossing the state earlier in the day, traveling nearly 300 miles from Sioux Center in the morning to Cedar Rapids in the afternoon.
The restaurant was close to where Trump was supposed to hold a rally, but canceled at the last minute over concerns that there could be stormy weather.

The Des Moines Register reported that the Trump campaign released a list of approximately 150 pro-Trump activists and elected officials who endorsed the former president in the state, including &#8220;about a dozen state legislators.&#8221;

DeSantis Arrives In Des Moines For Unplanned Stop To Meet Conservatives After Trump Cancels Rally Over Weather

Severe weather forced former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> to cancel his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/iowa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iowa</a> rally scheduled for Saturday night, the 2024 presidential candidate announced on his social media platform Truth Social.
The former president said he was ready to go, but had to wait on standby near the Palm Beach, Florida, airport before taking off for the Hawkeye State. Trump, who was set to appear in Des Moines, ultimately had to forego the trip after several counties across the state issued a tornado warning. Trump’s cancellation came as potential 2024 Republican opponent Governor Ron DeSantis, who is expected to announce his campaign launch any day, drew a significant crowd in Sioux Center, Iowa.
“Unfortunately, due to the Tornado Warnings in Des Moines, we are forced to cancel today’s outdoor Rally at the Lauridsen Amphitheater,” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/110363107699104575">said</a>. “Stay tuned, we will reschedule soon. Be safe out there!”
The cancellation spoils an anticipated <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-desantis-iowa-2024-c2d56a9fec898b90614864904fc1bedb">faceoff</a> in the crucial GOP primary state between the two Republican leaders. Trump, who consistently leads Republican primary <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polls</a> by double digits, and DeSantis, who is the former president’s largest threat from within the GOP, are expected to engage in a long and dramatic GOP primary battle.
DeSantis gave the keynote address at the Feenstra Family Picnic in Sioux Center, telling the crowd of over 500 that Republicans “must reject the culture of losing that&#8217;s affected our party in recent years” and “the time for excuses is over.”
&#8220;If we make the 2024 election a referendum on Joe Biden and his failures, and if we provide a positive alternative for the future of this country, Republicans will win across the board,&#8221; the Florida governor added.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
DeSantis will also appear at a Republican state party fundraiser in Cedar Falls, Iowa, Saturday night. The event sold out, which marked only the second time in five years that such a regional event had sold out, according to Iowa GOP party chair Jeff Kaufmann, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/ron-desantis-hot-ticket-gop-events-rcna83748">reported</a>.
As for Trump, the Iowa rally would have been the first after he further solidified his position as the Republican frontrunner during a CNN town hall in New Hampshire earlier this week. The town hall was held a day after a jury in New York said he sexually abused and defamed author E. Jean Carrol. During the event, the former president sparred with reporter Kaitlan Collins and drew applause and laughter from the Republican audience when he addressed his recent civil trial.

The former president is also in the midst of a legal battle with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg who charged Trump with 34 felony counts stemming from his alleged hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
