Trump Leads GOP Nomination Race in Iowa with Revamped Campaign Strategy

Iowa Caucus Set for Jan. 15; Democrats to Express Presidential Nominee Preferences via Mail-In Voting

Former President Donald Trump is leading the GOP nomination race in Iowa, with a campaign strategy that is a departure from his 2016 approach, focusing more on traditional caucus campaigning.
The Iowa caucus, the first-in-the-nation GOP nomination event, is scheduled for Jan. 15, 2024.
Trump's campaign has a field army of about 2,000 caucus captains, many of whom have undergone formal training, to recruit supporters in the lead-up to the caucus.
Unlike previous years, the Democratic caucuses in Iowa will not have an immediate impact on the presidential race, as Democrats will express their presidential nominee preferences through a mail-in voting process, the results of which will not be known until March.
Iowa Republican voters will indicate their picks for the party’s presidential nominee during the caucus, and the results of that vote will determine how many of the state’s 40 convention delegates each candidate will receive.
