Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was heckled by MAGA Republicans at the Iowa State Fair on Saturday as Trump flew over the event.
In a video posted to X by Washington Post reporter Joyce Koh, spectators can be drawn away from DeSantis to watch Trump fly over the event in Des Moines.
The reporter wrote that Trump was “already overshadowing DeSantis” even before his arrival.

The Florida governor has seen a substantial decline in polling.
Trump’s Real Clear Politics polling average registered at 46 percent, while DeSantis’s stood at 30 percent.
Meanwhile, Trump also gained 18 points since then despite being three times indicted, with an average of 54 percent.
But DeSantis has seen his support cut in half.
The Florida governor now finds himself in third place in a national survey released last week.
According to a Cygnal poll, Trump has the backing of 53 percent of likely GOP voters, while DeSantis is at 10.4 as he teeters on the edge of single digits.
