Record-breaking low temperatures and winter storms may complicate Iowa’s caucuses as events are canceled and voters question what to do.
While the Associated Press reported that snow was continuing to pile on top of the eight inches that had already fallen outside, some people still made the risky trek out to see Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley in Waukee.
“There were moments on the drive up here, I was like, ‘What are we doing?’” Kadee Miller told the outlet of her seven-mile drive from Adel for the Tuesday event. “The reason we drove up here is to really see who she is.”
Miller is unsure which Republican will get her vote, but she says she will still make it to the in-person leadoff caucuses despite the Associated Press predicting “a frigid, slap-you-in-the-face cold night in the forecast.”
“It’s important. It’s kind of our civil duty, right?” said Miller, 49. “So that’s what we have to do.”
While the GOP’s caucuses officially begin on Monday, January 15, Iowa Democrats have decided to opt out of in-person primary voting altogether. Instead, they have opted to send out mail-in ballots listing incumbent President Joe Biden, Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN), Marianne Williamson, and an option for “uncommitted,” according to ABC News.
The GOP offers more choices — Former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former U.N. Ambassador Haley, and the little-known Texas pastor Ryan Binkley.

Unsure? At this point?
Sheeeeesh.
This time of year, I am hibernating.
Not record breaking by a long stretch. Good for humiliating pompous Southerners!
Hopefully, this will not result in Zoom caucuses.
given that most Trump supporters will climb over broken glass to vote for him, a few inches of snow shouldn’t be that big of a deal ...
Agreed...weather will affect a few, but nary a Trumper
Yup. That El Niño kid. He did it.

Looks like both of Trump’s events for tomorrow are cancelled as well as one of his two Sunday stops.
Nikki cultists.
oooff...

Thanks so much for sharing this with me.
Hope to catch the telerallies.
GO, TRUMP!!!
cancelled campaign events by a U.S. President is not equivalent to voters turning out to vote ...
. That tells me all I need to know. This caucus will be a fraud.

Not exactly sure what your point is. . . . . .
I saw PDJT’s message to Iowa voters on his Truth Social last night.
I figure he cancelled his Saturday in-person events out of concern for the safety of all who would do everything possible to brave the harsh elements to attend.
Also, travel concerns for flying in his 757 Trump Force One must be factored in.
Just hope most of the hardy Caucus goers Monday night will be MAGA supporters.
“...send out mail-in ballots...”
. That tells me all I need to know. This caucus will be a fraud.
>>>Hopefully, the fraud will be limited to the Rat side at least as far as the Iowa Caucuses are concerned
Have the .iowa Democrats finished counting Monday’s caucus results already? Have they finished counting their last caucus results yet?
