hitting texas that s gonna be a big test for the states elector electric grid updates. d updates. as i got you all very good day from nbc headquarters here in new york. welcome everyone to alex witt reports. it is three pm eastern, two pm in iowa, which is when they left before the first round of iowa caucuses. we begin with a live looks at the frosty iowa city, where the temperature is hovering near minus ten degrees right now. those temps are forecast to warm up, though, sort of buy caucus time tomorrow night. they will still remain below zero. candidates are bundled up. they are out and about making campaign stops across the state, even as trump is projected to run away with a contest, that is according to the latest nbc news des moines register poll. and trump s die hard supporters are seizing their moment, trudging through the snow today just to catch a glimpse of their candidate. nothing bothers me. as long as i have some heat somewhere, i ll be fine. we have
