After a surprise announcement shakes up the race ahead of a high-stakes night in Iowa, pressure is on for Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis to clinch second place in next week’s caucuses.
The Hill’s Julia Manchester is in the Hawkeye State, where temperatures are in the mid-20s and more snow is expected later tonight. Most of Iowa is under a winter storm warning tonight through Friday.
But that isn’t stopping the campaigns and the candidates from crisscrossing the state today. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is holding events in Rock Rapids, Le Mars, Ames and Clive. Meanwhile, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley will head to Ankeny and Cedar Rapids.
And while former President Trump is not due back in Iowa until Saturday, his campaign surrogates are out and about. Donald Trump Jr. will campaign for his father in Urbandale today and Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake will stump for the former president tomorrow night in Pella.
