Gov. Ron DeSantis' (R-FL) presidential campaign blamed "election interference" on Monday after apparently losing the Iowa caucuses.
Moments after several networks — including Fox News — called the Iowa race for Donald Trump, DeSantis Communications Director Andrew Romeo posted a response on social media.

"Absolutely outrageous that the media would participate in election interference by calling the race before tens of thousands of Iowans even had a chance to vote," he wrote. "The media is in the tank for Trump and this is the most egregious example yet."
The campaign official was mocked for the reaction.
"When you're reduced to claiming media is in the tank for Trump, you might want to reassess your life choices," one commenter wrote.
