With just over two weeks before the Iowa Caucus, Republican candidates are making several appearances in the state.
Former President Donald Trump plans to return to the state next weekend, holding a caucus rally in Clinton a week from tomorrow; he will also visit Newton, Atlantic, and Sioux City before January 15th.
Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley will be in Dubuque and Cedar Falls today, before visiting Iowa City and Cedar Rapids Saturday morning. Her Iowa City event will be held at the Iowa Athletic Club on the Iowa River Landing starting at 11am. She then heads to Cedar Rapids for a 5pm appearance at the Veterans Memorial Commission.
Her comments about what caused the Civil War earlier this week were slammed by Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who was campaigning in Ankeny Thursday. He is in Davenport this morning before heading to Elkader this afternoon with Governor Kim Reynolds.
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy pledged Thursday night to withdraw his candidacy from any state that removes former president Donald Trump from its primary ballot. At a bar in Stuart Iowa, he still made his pitch as someone from the next generation to lead a new generation of Americans. He is scheduled to barnstorm the state today, with appearances in Fort Madison, Farmington, Bloomfield, Albia, Centerville, Corydon, Des Moines, Chariton, and Indianola.
Tickets to candidate appearances are available on their official websites.
