According to an opinion column in the Des Moines Register, a polling firm is testing U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke's name recognition among Republican voters in Iowa.The
piece, published Tuesday by Iowa View contributor Steve Sherman, says
the calls could be related to Zinke testing the waters for a 2024
presidential run. The calls could indicate the 2024 "White House
sweepstakes has started very early, and that Zinke is known in D.C. as
somebody with White House ambitions," Sherman wrote. Before
becoming Interior Secretary, Zinke represented Montana in the U.S.
House from 2015 to when he resigned the seat to take the Interior job in
2017, shortly after winning re-election. He also served in the state
Senate. Sherman interviewed Doug Kaplan, president of Gravis Marketing, about the poll:
“We’re
looking ahead trying to see who the heir apparent is after Trump. If
you fundamentally believe the Republican Party has changed and Trump is
not an anomaly, someone like Ryan Zinke could be that person. Based on
our polling he’s extremely popular among Republican voters in Iowa. The
interior secretary is someone to watch,” Gravis told Sherman.
