With the Iowa caucus just two weeks away, the 2024 Republican presidential race is heating up, and former President Donald Trump is still playing a prominent role. Nikki Haley supporters have been pushing for Chris Christie to drop out of the race, as they see him as a threat to their candidate. However, Christie has made it clear that he is not going anywhere and still maintains strong support in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has endorsed Haley and believes that Christie's voters, who want to see Trump defeated, will ultimately rally behind her. The only person who seems to want Christie to stay in the race is none other than Donald Trump himself. Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is fully committed to Iowa, having joined a New Year's Eve gathering in the state and traveled to all of its 99 counties. DeSantis is aiming to make a strong impression in Iowa, but like the rest of the field, he still trails behind Trump, the clear frontrunner in the race.
