Donald Trump crossed paths with some of his presidential campaign rivals when he attended Iowa’s biggest annual college football game.

As the race enters its traditional ramp-up after Labor Day, neither DeSantis nor any other rival has challenged Trump’s standing atop the field in Iowa. That's even as the former president skips most of the state's cherished campaign traditions.
