Trump's Dominance in Iowa Threatens 2024 Republican Contest

A recent poll shows that 51% of likely Republican caucusgoers in Iowa still support Donald Trump as their first choice, complicating the path forward for his primary opponents. Ron DeSantis sits in a distant second with 19%, followed by Nikki Haley with 16%. The non-Trump candidates are working to convince voters, political leaders, and donors that they are still credible contenders. DeSantis's campaign believes their ground game in Iowa will outperform public polling, while Haley's campaign hopes for a weak performance from DeSantis to boost her chances. Vivek Ramaswamy's team highlights different voter demographics at their events, while Chris Christie focuses on New Hampshire rather than Iowa.
