the world on january 15th. seven days left before iowa, and the gop field is warning voters, your first chance could be your last chance. i don t think donald trump ultimately can win an election. these polls are garbage. if donald trump wins iowa and new hampshire, it s over, guys. reminding iowans, they set the pace. iowa knows how to do this. you tell the country where we should go. but did those warnings come too late to knock out the runaway favorite? we are leading by a lot, but you have to go out and vote. we have to put big numbers up, really big numbers. no one knows until the first ballots are cast, so with the days dwindling, now is the time for closing arguments. we have reporters all over iowa with what voters are thinking and the sharpest campaign minds on what the candidates are promising. what will work? this is how to win 2024. good to be with you, i m katy tur in for chris jansing, the iowa caucuses are one week from today. let us remind yo
the beat with ari melber starts right now. our top story is this democratic resurgence we re living through this week, brought to you by the voters of the united states of america. republicans are straight up reeling because voters, including in often more conservative leaning states, are rejecting this version, today s version of the republican party as measurably unpopular. as something that these voters oppose, and they oppose the policies, and i m not talking about opinion, i m not talking about speculation or polling. i m just reporting for you on what we re learning from the vote this week and the party that is now dealing with what has clearly a brand. that fed weeks of chaos in replacing a speaker, shows the candidates running for office right now against the very creator of maga, trump, while he skipped this debate they did last night, and they were clearly still split over how to challenge him and each other against the backdrop of these new losses. all of it
