The state Republican Party’s recent announcement that the caucuses would take place Jan. 15 reinforced the reality that candidates aiming for a turnaround are on a timeline.

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., speaks to media before walking in the July 4th parade Tuesday, July 4, 2023, in Merrimack, N.H. “He’s very passionate about what he believes,” she said. “And there is hope and optimism in what he says.” Yet Trump faces some vulnerabilities, including a feud with Iowa’s popular governor, Kim Reynolds, over her refusal to formally endorse his campaign. And while many in the party view recent indictments in New York and Florida as politically motivated, they nonetheless risk becoming a liability that rivals may try to exploit.
That approach has concerned some in the GOP. Cedar Rapids Republican Bernie Hayes, chairman of the GOP in Iowa’s second most populous county, said he was shocked when Klein told people last week they shouldn’t back Trump in the caucuses. The super PAC supporting DeSantis, meanwhile, has prioritized promoting the governor without attacking Trump, which advisers say turns off his past supporters.
