memorial in washington this morning. >> an incredible memorial indeed. so many of us are waking up to blasts of winter. look at the snow in buffalo this morning. they had to push the bills wild card game to this afternoon. for so many, it's not the snow it's the bitter cold. >> that weather a factor in iowa ahead of tonight's caucuses. the first contest of the 2024 presidential campaign. no voting by mail so all republican voters will have to brave the cold to cast their ballot. donald trump has a commanding lead. nikki haley and ron desantis appear to be fighting for second. we'll dig into the numbers and what to look for as the results come in. rachel scott starts off our team coverage in des moines, where the wind chill is minus 28 right now. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, it is not expected to get any warmer. it is negative 14 without the wind chill. this is expected to be the coldest iowa caucus on record. this is a chance for the republican candidates, getting their supporters out of the snow and ice and into caucus

locations just like this high school cafeteria in west des moines. with the caucuses just hours away, a confident donald trump sweeping into frigid iowa urging them to turn out. >> you can't sit home. if you're sick as a dog you say -- even if you vote then pass away, it's worth it. >> reporter: hundreds of his supporters braving the subzero temperatures to attend his first and only event before the caucuses. >> we'd walk through broken glass to see trump. >> you would? >> yes. >> caucus for him, too? >> yes. >> this will impact it. we'll see who wants to show up, who's serious. >> reporter: that brutal weather up ending the contest in the final stretch. impassable roads, blinding snow, forcing the candidates to cancel a slew of events. >> the blizzard is not going to stop us. we will fight, the cold, the wind chill is not going to stop us. >> we're going to keep on going anywhere and everywhere. we'll go until the last hour. >> reporter: trump has

campaigned here less than his rivals but still holds a nearly 30 point lead. now nikki haley and ron desantis are in a close race for second with the former south carolina governor gaining new momentum, sharpening her attack against trump. >> rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him. >> reporter: trump taking notice, targeting his former ambassador to the u.n. >> nikki did a good job. she was okay, but she's not right to be president. honestly, she's not tough enough. >> reporter: for months desantis was seen as trump's toughest rival. he spent his entire campaign on the state. he has visited all 99 counties, holding 173 events. haley, just 82. trump 36. you had more events here than trump and haley combined. why aren't you doing better in the state? >> we're doing very well. i don't think we go by the polls. they've historically not predicted who's going to win. i think we have a better beat on who's going to turn out. >> reporter: desantis saying regardless of the outcome tonight he's staying in the race.

>> what has you convinced that this is a party that's ready to move on past donald trump? >> what i have seen -- obviously, he's got a share. who ever kisses the ring is good. you could be the lousiest republican in america but if you kiss the ring, he likes you. you could be the best republican but if you don't kiss that ring, he'll trash you. >> reporter: the republican candidates say they will do everything to pack caucus sites like this one in west des moines. but let's head back out here into this brutal cold. i mean, it looks bad here. but we are told it's even worse in rural parts of the state where the snow has not been completely cleared yet throwing another curve ball into this already unpredictable republican primary, george. >> thanks. let's bring in rick klein to break down the polls and what to watch for. good morning, rick. >> george, good morning. this is the lay of the land. des moines register poll that came out over the weekend, 48% say they are voting for donald trump. that would be a historic victory. even to approach 50% would be a big deal.

nikki haley in second place. that's a reordering of the race. it will be a reordering of the expectations going forward. i'll tell you, george. it tracks with what we're seeing nationally. this is our latest poll. we asked people if they would be satisfied with any candidates. republicans said they would be satisfied with trump. that's ten points better than desantis. look at that for nikki haley. fewer than half republicans say they would be satisfied with nikki haley wins the nomination. here's what to look for. the margin of victory. donald trump set a record of 13, 20 plus points. if trump wins by 20 or 30 points he will blow the rest out of the water. that battle for second is all important. ron desantis has so much riding. if he doesn't finish second, if he finishes third, that's bad for him and good momentum for nikki haley heading into new hampshire. lot of people thought this would be the record year to break the record turnout in 2016 but that brutal weather probably holds it down. that means die hards are going out. maybe good news for ron desantis and donald trump. in terms of watching the returns come in tonight, george,

remember, donald trump lost caucuses eight years ago. that's probably not going to happen again, but the candidates would like to recreate what they did last time. look to that northwest corner of the state. heavily evangelical areas, the areas like sioux county. that's where ron desantis has to do very well. look to the cities and suburbs to look for nikki haley. look in johnson county, iowa city, university of iowa. those are the places any kind of anti-trump vote, if it exist, will materialize. robin? >> all right, rick. we're going to our correspondents on the ground tracking nikki haley and ron desantis as they attempt to gain ground on donald trump. eva pilgrim has the latest. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning. we are at nikki haley headquarters. they're setting up for tonight. haley is confident she'll have a strong showing in iowa. we've been on the campaign trail with her all weekend. the weather has been a real hurdle. we saw semis in ditches on icy roads across the state. while she did have a cancel a

few events, haley determined to make her final call of the caucus appearing at the majority of events reminding people in a head to head with president biden, current polls show she is the only candidate that beats him by a wide margin. >> you said you're going to have a strong showing in iowa. what does that mean? >> we won't know until we see what the number looks like. we want it to be strong so it can catapult us into new hampshire. we expect it to be a two-person race in new hampshire. then we go to our sweet state of south carolina. it's one state at a time. the goal is to be strong in every state until we finish this. >> reporter: and her message appearing to resonate with people who voted for trump twice, moderates, independents and even democrats who have told us they plan to change their party affiliation so they can caucus for nikki haley tonight. george? >> okay, eva, thanks. let's bring in whit johnson with ron desantis. good morning, whit. >> reporter: hey, george. good morning. ron desantis has planted his campaign flag here going all in.

a huge investment of time and resources with the calculation he would be able to connect to the state's traditional conservatives. despite nikki haley pushing ahead in the polls, desantis is still projecting confidence. he believes he has a big advantage when it comes to the ground game especially getting people to these caucus sites in these subzero temperatures. desantis has visited all 99 counties in iowa, doing more events than donald trump and nikki haley combined. one desantis campaign staffer told me they've identified precinct captains with suv's, trucks and four-wheel drives. they're bringing shovels and ice melt. they're literally going to dig people out and transport them directly to these caucus sites. that includes picking up seniors from retirement homes. desantis is back out there today, multiple events, making his final push. he's telling people he doesn't mind being the underdog. his campaign knows that if he does not finish first or second in iowa, it raises major questions about how he moves forward in this race. robin? >> it does, whit. thank you.

we want everybody to stay with abc news and abc news live all night for in-depth coverage and the results from iowa. streaming coverage starts at 7:00 p.m. eastern. as you know, millions are waking up this morning facing potentially life threatening cold. the arctic chill hitting the plains to the midwest. even parts of the south seeing wind chills below zero. alex perez is in frigid chicago. i don't have to tell you, what is it, minus 31 with the wind chill right now? >> reporter: yeah, robin. this brutal deep freeze moving in over the weekend. the air is so cold you can probably see some of the steam rising from the buildings behind me here. this arctic cold can be very dangerous. this morning nearly the entire continental u.s. engulfed in arctic air and winter storms. whiteout conditions pummelling buffalo. overnight residents seen desperately digging out cars.

new york's governor declaring a state of emergency, a travel ban extended into some areas after scenes like this. this video inside highmark stadium showing what kickoff conditions would have looked like if the bills/steelers wild card game had not been postponed. >> the snow bands are staying longer. they're broader. also we're now seeing in real time 4, 5, possibly 6 inches an hour in the south in particular. >> reporter: up to two feet of snow already on the ground. the fans answering the call to come help shovel out the stadium ahead of today's rescheduled game. in the midwest, heavy snow and now bone chilling temperatures wreaking havoc. while in colorado, an avalanche crashing down. these cars buried, but no injuries reported. even the south targeted by the heavy snow and ice. in texas the company operating the state's electric grid asking customers to conserve power. more than 1,400 flights already cancelled this morning. in des moines, iowa, a wind

s.e.a.l.s. who went missing during a mission off the coast of somalia. elizabeth schulze is at the pentagon. >> reporter: it's been four days since two navy s.e.a.l.s. went missing off the coast of somalia. u.s. officials say an intense search and rescue operation is under way. we know they were deployed to the navy's fifth fleet and were conducting a mission thursday night. they were trying to board a ship from another boat when one of the seals was knocked by high waves and fell into the water. the other following protocol jumped in to help. we know the seals have been taking part in a mission to try to disrupt the flow of weapons supplied to yemen. but officials are making clear this mission is not directly linked to those u.s. air strikes in yemen in recent days. overnight a u.s. fighter jet in the red sea shot down another missile from houthi militant areas of yemen. the houthis have been targeting dozens of commercial ships with both seals missing we don't know what prompted them to board that ship this morning in the first place. robin? >> we do not.

charges, prosecutors said he was the prime suspect in a fourth. now we're told a new murder charge is coming as soon as tomorrow. this morning alleged serial killer rex heuermann's is expected to be charged with killing a fourth woman who was body was found on long island near gilgo beach. sources familiar with the beach told abc, heuermann will be in court tuesday to be charged with murdering maureen braynard barnes. she was wrapped using a belt bearing the same initials as his father. >> there was a hair recovered from maureen brainard barnes. a belt buckle that was around her legs. >> reporter: prosecutors also say they've linked heuermann to phone calls on barnes phone after her disappearance. >> maureen is in this place near the other ladies. that puts him into a geographical pattern. she fits into that. >> reporter: heuermann already pleaded not guilty of murdering the other women. the remains were all found near

gilgo beach wrapped in burlap. prosecutors say heuermann had solicited all of them for sex. >> she was just a normal person. she had a normal loving heart just like any person that you would be next to on the sidewalk. she didn't deserve it. >> reporter: prosecutors are confident heuermann killed these women, but they have not said how. >> the specific mechanism of injury, given the state of the remains, yeah, precisely what happened. beyond that would be difficult. >> reporter: there are six other people whose bodies have been found near gilgo beach. prosecutors have been searching for evidence all over the country to see if they can link rex heuermann to any additional murders. george? >> okay. thanks. now to the georgia district attorney leading the case against former president trump. fannie willis spoke for the first time sunday about her alleged improper relationship with one of the lawyers she hired. steve osunsami has the story. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, george. there are many people here, many of them supporters who wanted to hear her deny one of the biggest allegations against her, that she was allegedly in a

relationship with one of the special prosecutors she hired to work the case against the former president. in her comments, she did not confirm or deny any of that. >> i'm a little confused. >> reporter: it's the first time she has spoken since being accused of having, quote, an improper relationship with the special prosecutor in the alleged election interference case who she hired, who records show took the job a day after he filed for divorce from his wife. >> i appointed three special counsels. it's my right to do it. pay them all the same hourly rate. >> reporter: speaking before one of the oldest black churches in america on sunday, fulton county district attorney fannie willis shared she was flawed and imperfect, and spoke about the racism she has endured. she says no one is focusing this way on the two other special prosecutors she's appointed who are white. >> isn't it fitting playing the

race card when they only question one. >> reporter: but a lawyer for a co-defendant of the former president says race has nothing to do with it and a legal filing she's accusing the fulton county prosecutor and nathan wade of having a serve serving arrangement where she said they purchased tickets for cruise lines and traveled together to napa valley. and without evidence, the lawyer accuses willis and wade of paying for these alleged vacations with the nearly $650,000 in legal fees that wade has earned since working the case. in a statement sunday the lawyer says the biggest difference between the white and black special prosecutors is neither of the white hired lawyers have taken miss willis to california, florida or on cruises to the caribbean. she wants her client's indictment thrown out and willis removed from the case. >> there's a potential that she could get disqualified from the case. then if you have a new prosecutor appointed, somebody who doesn't like the case, the case could be dismissed because they don't think that it should be moved forward. >> reporter: republicans in washington are already all over this. the house judiciary committee,

led by republicans, is now investigating. an attorney for donald trump says that he's considering adopting this same motion against willis. donald trump, mr. roman and 17 others pleaded not guilty last august after prosecutors charged them with attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in georgia. four of them took plea deals in exchange for testifying against other defendants. the judge has not set a date for trial yet but willis is asking that it begin in august setting up a scenario we could potentially have a president-elect in november being called to state trial here in georgia. there's a hearing likely next month to discuss some of these accusations where fannie willis will have a chance to respond. >> we'll see what happens. all right, steve. thank you. coming up next, usher takes us inside his super bowl halftime show. show. ♪ ♪

600,000 participants. they found one in ten adolescent and teenage girls are using some sort of weight loss supplement, laxatives, even diuretics. this is possibly an under estimate given the lack of informational awareness about the risks. >> what are the risks of using these items for weight loss? >> risk of using these items especially at a young age can range. it can include things like electrolyte abnormality. most dangerously it can include abnormalities with your heart rhythm. persistent and chronic use of laxatives can lead to damage to your colon. psychological effects, using these products at a young age can increase the chance of developing disordered eating. for clarity, clinical diagnosis. disordered eating focus on the habits and patterns around food. for example, extreme exercise or over exercising or difficult

relationship with food or someone who had strong rituals, difficulty eating around others. then also, negative and persistent thought of self-image. that can last for a long time for some of these young people. again, it's not just young girls. it can include young men as well. many people believe it's associated with those who are simply underweight. it's important to understand that less than 6% of those with disordered eating are clinically. it's about behavior not necessarily image. if you notice any of these signs or symptoms you should start a conversation and seek out professional assistance. >> this is all such vital information. i know you'll have more later on gma3. >> absolutely. >> all right. thanks so much. george? we have a look at the mlk weekend holiday sale. our consumer correspondent becky worley has her eye out for the biggest savings.

series. great to see you. >> thank you for having me. i feel like i haven't been here in a long time. >> yeah, yeah. >> tell us about this. >> oh my god. it's been a pleasure and a torture at the same time. [ laughter ] i have been working on it for a long long time, for almost 15 years. so it is like, i'm very proud of it that it's finally coming out. it was hard because i had to act -- believe it or not, i had to act for the first time on this. i had to wear prosthetics for the first time. i had to do a drama for the first time, which i was not comfortable. "modern family" that's all i know how to do. it was a struggle. i also had to learn how to smoke for the first time in my life at 50 years old. i had to learn how to do cocaine. not real one but through pretend. there are scenes in the tv show that required it.

it was a lot of fun. i got to play with latin american actors that i never get to do. >> who is griselda? >> griselda, i want to say that she is a mother, a survivor. she is a mother that all she wants to do is make her family and her kids safe. she's a woman that came from a horrible childhood from a lot of abuse and had to, i think in her mind, the only way she could survive was just being part of this crazy, terrible business. i guess she didn't have any other tools. that's all she knew. but i think she went a little bit over the top. >> just a little bit. >> i think she overdid it a little bit. [ laughter ] >> sofia, for 15 years you may it more than worth the wait. let's see you in action. >> i just needed some extra

money to be able to find a place and get out of your hair. >> that's why i gave you the job. >> i know, but we've had six customers all week. i have three kids, buy a house. i can't do that by working here. >> you can't let it go. >> i can't let it go. you're right. i should have told you the truth. >> sofia, people eating breakfast right now. just stopped midbite when they saw you. >> they heard gloria? [ laughter ] >> no, no, no. >> what's going on? >> we haven't seen you in a role like this. you gave us a little indication of all the press. there's a lot that went into preparing for this. >> yeah, it was a lot. i have never done anything like that. i didn't even think i could cry in a scene. i have never even tried. you are on "modern family" for 11 years. it was a joy. the lines were easy. they were inside of me already.

i would just read them the night before. these were monologues. two months before to prep with someone, to help me understand what really serious dramatic acting was. it was a lot of preparation. then to realize i thought, you know, it's better that i look the way that i really look 'cause that's how i really look in real life. this is three hours of hair and makeup. [ laughter ] make up by the end of it is three and something hours. i was ready to go home. i'm like an only my day was about to start, so it was a lot the week the teeth. yeah, the i have plastic from here to my forehead because they had to cover my eyebrows. um, the skin color i would put like this weird makeup so it

didn't look like a nice golden tan. so it was a lot. and the wig and i think also so, you know, doing something that i had never done, like acting, you know, a dramatic role, it was like exhausting at the beginning. i would go home thinking, i'm dying. i mean, i'm like, i'm i'm getting sick or why can i fall asleep? i'm going to go crazy. i realized it's because you're on a set doing all these things. i was i would go to modern family like go home, have fun on, you know, here we would go home. and i was like, i mean, your body doesn't know that you you weren't killing someone or you know, that they weren't choking you or that you're screaming. so it was like it took me some time to realize and understand what was happening to me. i mean, i respect it now so much. actors that only do this kind of stuff. >> we are looking forward to it. griselda premieres on netflix january 25th. thank you for coming in and coming up. a

i was like, oh, that's interesting. then we said mea, and it had 40,000 people come to our campus. i learned about other people's experiences with midlife. midlife isn't very well as a life stage. there are a lot of things that get better with age. >> what is your definition of midlife? >> ah, yes. i would say we're in midlife still. i'm 63. i'm in later midlife. midlife used to be considered earlier but longevity in the u.s. grew 30 years in the 20th century. midlife became a 20th century phenomenon. midlife for some academics now is 35-75. >> 35-75. >> i know. the core of it -- [ laughter ] core of it is still 40ish. >> 35 is really young. >> if we're going to live to 100, 75 is not unheard of. people are still working in their 70s. midlife has a bad brand.

reading a book on midlife. mostly really doing the deep dive of understanding yourself. >> that is the number one skill? >> yeah. midlife is not a crisis. it's a chrysallis. just like there's three stages of a butterfly. the chrysallis is dark, but it's where the transformation happens. happiness research shows after age 50 we get happier after having a slow decline in our 20,30s. and that work has shown that when you shift your mind set on aging from a negative to positive you gain 7 1/2 years of additional life. >> that makes all the difference there. you just posted a video as you finished radiation treatment. >> i just finished radiation friday. >> you look great.

so important because i feel like it's beautiful, indigenous people, these deaf kids can also see them on the screen. they can feel like i am finally here. i feel like i have worth and i can do anything i want to go for. maybe they can see that similarity in me when they see me on the screen. i was scrolling on facebook and a mother posted her daughter with these two pieces of hair that mya lopez shows, her bangs were showing. she said, you inspired my daughter to wear her hair like you because she's indigenous herself. i'm very happy i can inspire deaf indigenous kids. >> we want to bring out a present. we have a gma onesie. you just had a baby boy. congratulations. >> oh my gosh. thank you. so cute. oh. oh my gosh. >> how does that feel knowing your son will see you as a super hero one day? >> oh my gosh. he's an indigenous baby, of
