In just a couple of weeks, the Iowa caucuses will kick off the 2024 presidential election, marking the first test for candidates vying for the nomination. With former President Donald Trump still a dominant figure in the race, the caucuses will serve as a crucial moment for his comeback bid, while also providing anti-Trump Republicans an opportunity to rally behind a challenger.
As the countdown to the caucuses begins, the focus has shifted to the race for second place, as it seems unlikely that any candidate will be able to catch up to Trump's significant lead. The contenders in this race to watch closely are Haley and DeSantis, who are realistically aiming for a strong finish rather than an outright win.
