Former President Donald Trump gained a high-profile endorsement on Monday in Iowa, where the first-in-the-nation Republican caucuses will be held on Jan. 15.RENT PRICES FALL IN SEPTEMBER FOR FIRST TIME IN SIX MONTHS
“I am proud to announce my endorsement of President Trump because Iowans know he is the only candidate who can defeat Joe Biden and bring prosperity back to America," Bird said in a statement."We have seen what Joe Biden’s America looks like — rampant crime, lawlessness, and broken communities. During President Trump’s first term, he stood up for law enforcement, kept our families safe and secured our Southern border. He will do that again when he returns to the White House.
The endorsement will be significant in Iowa, a state where many higher-ranking politicians remain neutral out of respect for the Hawkeye State's role as the first state to hold presidential caucuses."Very sad to see Gov Reynolds Numbers go down because of DeSanctimonious — I did so much for her. He is a falling wounded bird. Will be leaving Race soon!" Trump said last week on Truth Social, referring to a reportedly close friendship between Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Iowa governor.
"As I travel the 99 counties and meet with hardworking Iowans, it is clear President Trump is the true grassroots candidate who will represent all of us instead of special interests and political insiders,” Bird said in a statement.Strategists have indicated that the caucuses are up for grabs in the state, where citizens take their candidate vetting job seriously. Pollsters have further cautioned against assuming results, as the caucus format can lead to surprises.
The endorsement from Bird is also seen as a strategic play from Trump, who has seen some of his anti-abortion credentials called into question. The former president has been vague regarding abortion and whether he sees room for federal policy on it, striking a negative chord with anti-abortion voters. Bird is a staunch anti-abortion advocate and has paused an attorney general program that paid for emergency contraception for sexual assault victims.
