Trump returns to Iowa as caucuses draw closer

Former President Donald Trump is returning to Iowa on Saturday, just eight weeks before the January 15 Iowa Republican caucuses, continuing his aggressive campaign in the Hawkeye State in an attempt to quell any possibility that one of his rivals could catch up to him.

Trump’s team says they’re heading into this final stretch feeling confident in his standing, pointing to his continued dominance in Iowa polls, a Trump adviser told CNN. A recent Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom Iowa poll found 43% of likely Republican caucusgoers picking Trump as their first choice, with his closest rivals receiving just 16%.
