DES MOINES, Iowa — An impending blizzard in Iowa has forced Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Donald Trump to call off their campaign events scheduled for Friday. The storm is predicted to bring about a foot of snow to certain regions of the state just three days before the Republican caucus to choose their preferred presidential nominees. Haley has scrapped her afternoon events and plans to substitute them with tele-town halls or conference calls with potential voters. On Friday morning, DeSantis conducted an event in the outskirts of Des Moines. However, the super PAC primarily responsible for his campaigns in Iowa decided to “postpone” two of his originally planned engagements for the rest of the day. The Trump campaign has cancelled a Friday night event featuring Kari Lake due to severe weather conditions. The hazardous weather, making roads impassable and creating whiteout circumstances and strong winds, has raised concerns and thus is the reason for the event’s cancellation. “Right now, we’re navigating unfamiliar grounds,” asserted David Kochel, a GOP strategist who attended an occasion today with DeSantis and the Governor of Iowa. Despite a severe weather warning from the National Weather Service and requests from the Iowa Department of Transportation to avoid travelling, Kim Reynolds succeeded in gathering 100 people. As Kochel affirmed, Iowans are robust and vigorous. DeSantis and Haley risk the most loss, as the terrible weather may hinder their ability to engage with voters during this essential period. The two are vying for a solid second place position that might improve their standing in New Hampshire and South Carolina. A recent poll indicates that Haley is surpassing DeSantis. “I’m definitely aware that I’m not in South Carolina anymore,” Haley commented in a virtual town hall with voters from Fort Dodge, Iowa, where she gave her standard speech and responded to voters’ inquiries. I’m aware that an important event occurred on January 1st, 2020.
