Neck. Quite like this one. An Election Year full of surprises. And the most intense that lester says he has ever seen. Sot holt there have been jus a lot of moments where things are said. Everythi ng has been amplified this time around. And this time around. A first for hihi. Sot holt how is it different . For you in this role. One i didnt expect to be in. I asked lester what he thinks it is behind the surge for trump and sanders. He said everyone he has talked to from small town usa to the big cities are tired of the status quo. Theyre not politicians. Every four years, iowa voters get first crack at president ial candidates from both parties. And, every four years, some states and even more members of the media wonder why . The chairs of iowas Political Parties seem set on setting the tone for president ial politics. Republicans dont want to repeat past mistakes. We are as prepared as we can possibly be to make sure we have an open, transparent and successful caucus, said hoefert. And,d,ith eleven gop candidites, republicans say theyre certain of one thing. We know that the next president of the United States will be on the ballot in iowa monday night, said hoefert. Republicans expect to break the record of 120,000 at the 2012 Iowa Caucuses. Democrats dont use the word record, rather turnout will be strong. I think well have a very good turnout, mcguire said. Ive been going all over iowa for the last year, and ive been seeing such enthusiam and energy. I tell the story that people are always bringing chairs and tables when im there because theres more democrats t tn they thought were going to be there. Party leaders claim the candidates are spurring the surge, and share the enthusiam of the electorate. They are really pushing to the end, dr. Andy mcguire, Iowa Democratic party chair said. Theyre closing the deal. One thing the gop doesnt want is a repeat of 2012. When mitt romney was the winner on caucus night. But, when the votes were certified two weeks later, rickckantorum had won actually won by 7 votes. So, this year, if the margin is that razorthin, the party will only announce the results without declaring a winner. Anks to their partnership with microsoft, and a new app for repoing precinct numbers, the results will be certified 48hours later. Lets toss it back to the station. Tommie. Thanks matt and amanda. Snow is on the way in siouxland. But how much can we expect . Lets check back in with meteorologist tj sprprger. Blizzard watches in effect for almost all of siouxland except yankton, holt, antntope, and verdei counties from early Tuesday Morning through wednesday morning. The clouds that were with us on saturday ended up clearing out quite nicely making for quite a nice sunday across siouxland. Temperatures were above average once again, with lots of towns breaking into the 40s. Lows wille colder tonight with temperatures bottoming out in the 20s under partly cloudy skies. But as the weekend comes to a close we set our sights on our next winter storm. This one will move in as we kick off the work week. Blizzard watches are in effect for almost the entirety of siouxland for the potential of 8 or more inches. These watches may expand to the north as we head throughout the remainder of our weekend though. The best bet looks to be 36 ne, 810 for central siouxland, and 1214 for southern parts of the area. Winds will also be a factor with gusts up to 40 mph, so this could make for whiteout conditions making travel almost impossible. There is still some uncertainty with the track of this storm, and these numbers are subject to change. Please stay updated to storm team 4 and ktiv. Com for updates and details. After this winter storm moves out the rest of the week looks dry but cold with temperatures dropping down below average through next weekend here in siouxland both parties are wrapping up their campaign stops. Donald trump made his last stop in sioux city before caucus night. Ktivs Michelle Schoening was there for the rally. Mielle . Tommie. Again, trump drew a large crowd for his final stop in sioux city. But this time his wife and daughter were also there for support. nat pop usa, usa, usa trump said iowa hasnt picked a years. And its time for that to change. The billionare businessman mentioned his absence fromom said fox news treated d m unfairir. Skipped the debate because i wasnt treated right. We have to do that; i wasnt treated properly. We have to think like that for our country. When our country isnt treated right our leaders have to do whats right for the people, said donald trump, president ial candidate. One local organziation received a 100thousand dollar check from the trump foundation. A check of this size can allow us to do that critic work to serve our veterans for years to come, said sarah petersen, founder of support siouxlxld soldiers.

Tommie. Just a few blocks away from the orpheum, Hillary Clinton was campaigning to win the ktivs tiffany lane was at the Sioux City Convention center earlier today and has the details. Tiffany . Tommmm, this was clintons fourth stop in sioux city since announcing her candidacy. And she made one message clear. She wants iowas vote. There were about 460 people who packed into the Convention Center lobby. Like her last stop in sioux city, clinton put much of her focus on the economy. Starting with jobs. We need more infrastructure jobs, our roads, our bridges, our tunnels, our ports, our airports, our rail system, there is work to be done in iowa and america. And these are jobs that cant be exported. Clinton also talked about debt free tuition for public colleges and universities. She said that doesnt include free college for everyone. I want to give the resources we have from the federal government to help people who need help go to college, said clinton. Thats the vast majority of kids. Need help going to college, clinton made the argument that she does not want to pay for Donald Trumps youngest child to go to school. Those funds should go to those who actually need it. Tommie .

And also to the mitchells from chicago. Even though im supporting Hillary Clinton, its important as americans that i hear the other side. The mitchells are in iowa on vacation to see the caucuses. Mexico is always going to be there, but its only one in every four years are going to see something as magical as the president ial election. I respect the political process so much and i respect every one of these candidates for doing this because this is hard. Mike huckabee if hes been to every single county in iowa its tiring. No one does this if they dont believe in something, if they dont believe in what theyre saying. Jim labriola believes in Mike Huckabee. I love the realness. It just comes through. Jim played benny on home improvement. Hes a comedian from new york on the road stumping for huckabee. Governor huckabee has a phenomenal sense of humor. He couldve been a standup. He calls him the reagan of our era and says hell never forget his time on the campaign trail in iowa. I admire the people here. I admire that they cant be bought. Likk new york.
