Life-threatening cold weather conditions could impact voter turnout at the 2024 Iowa caucus as subzero temperatures and an extreme wind chill leave most of the state in blizzard-like conditions.

Hours ahead of the caucuses, Republican presidential candidates Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy are asking voters to make their way out to their local precinct and participate in the first-in-the-nation caucus.

But with wind chill values of -25°F to -35°F and frostbite possible within 10 minutes of outdoor exposure, it’s unclear if voters will make their way to support the candidates vying for second place behind current Republican frontrunner and former president Donald Trump.

In final Iowa polling, Mr Trump held a substantial lead over the other candidates.

Mr DeSantis and Ms Haley are currently fighting for second place, hoping it will give their campaigns a boost ahead of the New Hampshire primary.

Iowa caucus meetings will begin at 7pm CST. Results are expected to start rolling in soon after.

Show latest update 45 minutes ago Trump attacks Haley and calls DeSantis “Maga-Lite”

Hours before the Iowa caucus is set to begin, former president Donald Trump – and current Republican frontrunner – took to his social media platform to lash out at his competition.

While Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy meet with voters in Iowa hoping to swing their votes in favour of their campaigns, Mr Trump declared none of them could win.

“Nikki Haley can never win the General Election because she doesn’t have MAGA, and never will!!” Mr Trump wrote on Monday afternoon.

The former UN ambassador is proving to be a viable second-place candidate with polling from Iowa showing her narrowing the field between herself and Mr Trump. Though the former president still maintains a significant lead over her and other candidates.

“Ron DeSanctimonious, at least, is MAGA-Lite… Vivek Votes are wasted should come to “TRUMP.”,” the former president wrote.

1 hour ago Could Iowa be Ron DeSantis’s last stand?

Ron DeSantis did everything right in Iowa. The Florida governor has checked all the boxes that Republicans must complete if they are to stand a chance in Hawkeye State.

He completed the “Full Grassley,” named for Iowa’s long-serving Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, where he visited all 99 counties in the state. He made the hard sell at Iowa’s State Fair. He received the endorsement of Kim Reynolds, the state’s governor, and Bob Vander Plaats, the head of the Iowa Family Leader and a kingmaker.

Mr DeSantis has staked everything on Iowa, a state that should have been a perfect match for him.

But just four days before the first-in-the-nation contest, former President Donald Trump is still blocking out the sun in FiveThirtyEight’s polling average in the state. At 52.3 per cent, Mr Trump remains far ahead of Mr DeSantis, who has now even lost the second spot to Ms Haley, who is at 17.7 per cent to Mr DeSantis’s 16.2 per cent.

Mr Vander Plaats tells The Independent that Mr DeSantis “needs to convince those who are supporting Nikki Haley, ‘listen, you want an alternative to Trump? I’m your guy’. And he needs to convince the Trump voters – ‘Hey, if you want all the good of Trump, but without all the drama, then I’m your guy’”.

1 hour ago No caucus affected by weather today – yet

Despite record-low temperatures, a wind chill warning and snowy conditions, the Iowa caucus will continue as planned in all 99 precincts.

A spokesperson for the Iowa Republican Party told The Washington Post that no precinct had changed its location or closed today due to the weather.

We’re not hearing that at this time,” Kush Desai told the newspaper. “If it happens, these would be one-off situations.”

Mr Desai said that it is not usual for precincts to change under certain circumstances.

2 hours ago Final Iowa poll shows DeSantis lost support over last month

Ahead of the Iowa caucus on Monday, final polling from The Des Moines Register, NBC News, and Mediacom showed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis lost the support of Iowans over the last month.

When asked in December 2023 if Mr DeSantis would be their first choice, 19 per cent of respondents said he was.

But when asked in January 2024 if Mr DeSantis was their first choice, 16 per cent of respondents said he was.

The drop is small but indicates that Mr DeSantis is losing momentum with primary voters – typically the most politically active members of communities.

Instead, Nikki Haley has gained momentum having jumped from 16 per cent in December 2023 to 20 per cent in January 2024.

3 hours ago Trump tells heckling climate protester to ‘go home to mommy’ at Iowa rally

Former president Donald Trump instructed a climate protester to “go home to mommy” after the activist interrupted an Iowa rally, accusing him of taking millions from oil and gas executives as president.

“Trump, you’ve taken millions!” a demonstrator yelled on 14 January in the middle of Mr Trump’s speech, held one day before the Iowa caucuses.

The former president snapped, “Thank you, darling. Thank you.”

A smile emerged on the Republican candidate’s face as the crowd booed at the protester. Mr Trump then snapped, “Go home to mommy. Your mommy’s waiting.”
