Iowans kick-start 2024 election in wintry caucuses: Live updates
Iowa Republicans are caucusing Monday to decide their state's GOP presidential nominee, officially kick-starting the 2024 election.
The Iowa caucuses will be the first test of former President Trump's strength within the party, and whether his rivals — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley — can build enough momentum to take him on ahead of next week's New Hampshire primary.
DeSantis has made Iowa a linchpin of his 2024 campaign, while a stronger-than-expected showing for Haley could solidify her status as the top challenger to Trump. The former president is eyeing a landslide victory to knock the wind out of his competitors' sails.
Here is where each candidate stands in Iowa polls, according to the latest from Decision Desk HQ/The Hill. The caucuses begin at 7 p.m. CT.
Meanwhile, winter storms have iced candidates out of their final campaign events and raised questions about voter turnout.
