Iowa caucuses: What to know as Trump looks for big win in first Republican contest

Iowa is bundled up and ready to kick off the 2024 presidential campaign with its famed quirky caucus.

With bone-chilling cold gripping the state, former President Trump is aiming for a landslide win over rivals Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis.

Trump, who leads in polls with more than 50% support, hopes to eviscerate his opponents and head on to the tricky next contest in New Hampshire next Tuesday with the political wind at his back.

Iowa has a history of delivering major political upsets, but most political pundits say Trump’s grip on the GOP conservative base should help him deliver an expected victory.
