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.
