voters will gather tomorrow to kickoff primary season by choosing a republican presidential nominee for them, and then the rest of the nation follows. the results could shape the future of the race, a strong showing by any of former president trump s rivals could change the course of their campaigns, i am harris faulkner. the latest fox news power rankings put former president trump atop the competition, he has not moved from there this entire election season. however, his challengers have been making some moves in iowa. nikki haley is in second place, ron desantis in third, these are power rankings, vivek ramaswamy is in fourth. hunging in there are all 4 candidates have campaigned hard in iowa. you know, it gets chippy close to game time. you have people like nikki haley who care more about ike okay, you border. ron desantis to nikki haley they have been licking donald trump s boots for years. we don t love the job that ron desantis has done or nikki haley. or even
Trajectories and policies. Harris what do you project will help Ron Desantis at this point . He has done it, not the media, not the polls that will decide who wins, the iowa caucus, it is the people of iowa. The ground game. The people that show up. Ron has put in the work, he told iowans he would go to all 99 county and listen to them, i have been with him a lot, he stays until every question is asked. He said he would do it, he did it and put the time in, it is a great reflection of the type of president that he will be, and you know when people get in front of him, he flips on. I have seen, they are impressed with his answers and his vast knowledge of different issues, you have been there a lot of them come out of left field. Harris i have seen it all of the candidates that i have been on the campaign
Matter. Which scandals matter. Donald trump . Indictments. I think so far it has helped him, a big difference, you mentioned that package done, Jimmy Carter barnstormed state. Access to information and the ideas you have about a candidate are so much more robust today it is baked in a lot earlier, do i like president trump, do i like nikki haley, do i like ron desantis, you already have a formed opinion on whether im ticking by trump regardless by im sticking by trump regardless of trials, with the News Cycles and Social Media and information you already know a lot about those people, you there may be some movement toward the end. In last couple days, for the most part, i think polls this cycle will be more accurate, they are dialed . I agree, in iowa they are different. Only because if you think
Have you spent time with each of these candidates . I have spent time with most of them, as they are coming through. And again just trying to welcome them in to the state offer them opportunities to stand up with them do, introductions bring them into our hometowns to main streets in iowa, so they can share their message as widely as possible. But yes, i have spent great time with a lot of these Wonder Tail candidates. Harris i have to ask, one of most obvious questions with trump in such a huge lead, in early polling and uptodate, until the caucuses tomorrow. Have you seen anything that suggests that it is going to be tighter than what we know . You can pitch in the weather if you would like, i have been defending iowans saying how tough you are. We are tough. Harris, all you have to do is throw on a Car Hart or some cover alls get to our
Caucuses, that will not stop us, i am encouraging everyone to be safe, get out. I dont know t that the weather will affect it but i dont know about the polls, as im out and about and one of those that does a 99 County Tour every year, i have done it for 9 years now, when i am out and about i hear different things from different people. It leads me to believe that the race might be a little tighter than we actually think it is. Harris tell me what you hear most from voters, there is so much going on with the border. We took a look at what people say is most important is the economy, that is always the issue, beneath that is immigration. And i would say particularly from the iowans im talking to it is illegal immigration. And biden border crisis, what are you hearing . You are spot on, harris
