Evangelical Christian voters in Iowa love Trump. Can another Republican win them over?

In a special legislative session that lasted around 15 hours, Republican lawmakers passed a "fetal heartbeat" bill that would effectively ban abortion after six weeks on Tuesday, July 11. Hundreds of Iowans rallied at the Capitol in protest and support of the legislation, clashing often in the building's rotunda. (Madeleine Charis King/IPR)
