Political news out of Iowa has been dominated by the Democrats scrambling for their party's nomination. But President Trump is asserting himself in a state that twice voted for President Obama before turning red in 2016.
Democrats have dominated the political discourse in Iowa in the lead-up to the caucuses. But President Trump is planning a show of force here on Monday, a reminder that the state that tilted heavily in his favor four years ago could be competitive in November.
But prior to electing Trump, Iowa twice voted to send Barack Obama to the White House. In the 2018 midterm election, two Democratic women beat two Republican incumbent congressmen. And, in a state where the social behavior known as “Iowa nice” is a source of pride, a segment of Republican voters have soured on the president.
Craig Robinson, a former state GOP official and founder of the Iowa Republican website, said that while Republican voters are largely happy with Trump, the state is in play.
