of to ron. it's good to have you with us, mr. m. at the end. can i just begin with the site? the turn around is already sort of pointing the finger of blame, and your president is about to speak to the nation of what to expect him to say. that was the main question here now is who did what has happened the to the last that work pulls off in carmano and kills many civilians and injured many more. who did that? that's the main question. now the president would of course, talk about a revenge against those who did it, but the question still remains. who did it? now there are suspects you can, you can hear already analysis coming out on a pointing the finger at isis, or possibly even a israel, or a collaboration between the 2 to pull this off, which comes out in the end time will fix collection at as a result of the war on guys of assassinations in damascus may, would this, if that's the case, we are an uncharted territories because this is a whole new level of escalation. that is where it is commit

of tag, ron. he says ron is sending a wanting to, he's on the west about validate and gets red lines. there is this lead lines when it comes to the national security of the country and there is this 0 tolerance policy when it comes to using the countries using the land of other countries in order to attack or threaten the rainy and i saw fit crazy. everybody in the weekend except for the zionist regina is concerned about the media involved to, to create the of the region, but for 10 to run. i think for a long time you ron has been practicing sort of strategy patience, which was i think ronald leads in east interpreted by some players in the region as a side of your relativist or in difference. we are seeing to import in size. you honest conveying 1st and foremost it very clear masters to the world, including the united states and the west and the lives of these really re gene that this patients is getting over. and in case read lies are across to ron is going to face them. but some tough can seque

and as a professor at the university of terre, ron, he believes, as well as widening the conflict due to it's going to bill it to you to achieve its ministry goals in god or after october stuff. and so on size. the, as i said, these ladies have been to you what they were doing before. there are to basically you a deadlock men's want is a b, b, nothing y'all was pulled to call me for escalation regional. the i believe is very much behind escalation. these of the law. secondly, that in passing guys is forcing israel to white and the scope of conflict in an effort to force fathers to basically find a way out. i the, they weren't even pushing it goes, they're all was and they're all eyes basically back. it off in god's our, in the, in the yeah man, our house where i already bought and i don't see that happening because the market is not due back to them and is not basically telling them what to do. they're doing what they see fit to their and their national interest, and also their them as part of the axis of resistance that is resisting israel and the united states and that region. so i

you know, he is an assistant professor in an international relations at the american university of ron. thanks so much of being with us. so let's start with um, what happened there with the, with the, by the speech. to what extent do you think is this reflection of the public opinion in, in the us is particularly among, among democrats as he goes into this election. yeah. but do you mean uh, thank you very much uh for the invitation. um, absolutely. i think that this uh protest. these interruptions are an increasing sign of how much the mood is changing, especially among young voters, especially among the forest democratic voters. but we have the calls, the polls are showing the 3 quarters of a us citizens under thirty's, are extremely worried. and extremely um, a scientist i would say even about the us policies towards israel or us continued support for israel. and the binding administration's continued refusal. now we're entering into a. busy months of war 2 essentially called for a ceasefire. we have seen what the binder administration has done in the un security council, and these

accused strict talk of trying to underpay on royalties for its audience. former pakistani prime minister in ron hahn and his wife bush a, b. b have been sentenced to 14 years in prison for corruption. the verdict comes the day after another court handed con a 10 year sentence for revealing state secrets. the opposition leader was already serving a 3 year jail term and his board from standing in next week's general electric hun says the latest sentence is part of a plot to shut him out of politics and that he will appeal the ruling. a dw affordable, nice job, it has been following developments in pockets on and told me how this latest convection will now impact the former pakistani prime minister. right. and on time now for a significant feeder in future. uh so basically this conviction means that he will not be able to do any better to go to book for a significant period in future. so definitely it is a big step back for him, rob hon. but it was not something that was not expected. and he is more disturbing a 3 year to them and cut up some charges. and yesterday he was sentenced to 10 ye

and trying to get every last one of those. it is a smaller universe in the primary electorate. but to see ron desantis had a very strong evening i would say. to see him go after trump and trying to convince republican caucus goers in iowa that he is not to be trusted to deliver. that you cannot trust donald trump, it is a potentially powerful argument. but it is one that needs a lot more than 11 days to breakthrough with the republican electorate at this point. and that seemed like he was opening up a new avenue there. >> at one point, he pointed out about abortion. he is not who he says he is was the theme. >> that desantis has been doing quite some time. he is a different candidate than he was in 2016. it sounded like he was saying you can't trust this guy to do the job you are considering him to do. that seemed a little more of a stern harsher warning. >> and the challenge is to convince these voters who know. and said he can't be trusted on abortion. this is the guy who appointed three supreme court justices and voted down roe v. wade going after him on issues of policy. sa

or if he's getting well has time been, i is a professor of international studies at indiana university. he specializes in the ron. i asked the team way. the islamic states claim that had carried out the bombings was credible. it appears to be credible. it appears to be to fit the patterns of their previous attacks in a wrong. that happened in 20222017. before that as well. um, so it has all the hallmarks on the secretary and attacked. good prices has carried out before and the fact that they chose the anniversary, the 4th and 4th year anniversary of awesome, solely moneys. assassination. really, i think, underlines there are kind of a similar pattern of attacks that they've carried out around the same commemorative moments in iran as well. so you're saying this attack face patton's, the previous iris attacks? how strong is i as in the ron? and why is the group active then? it's a very good question. um, if it is an affiliate that has previously carried out these attacks in your ron, the group called for us on which is based out of afghanistan or operates out of afghanistan mostly. but

according to a new cnn university of new hampshire poll, the former president leads haley by 11 pointsth candidates held rallies tonight, hoping to swing the vote in their favor. >> when you're dealing with the pressures of a presidency, we can't have someone else that we question whether they're mentally fit to do this with your vote, you're going to put crooked joe in his protectors on notice that we are coming in november. >> we're coming to take over the beautiful, beautiful white house . >> regardless of the outcome, haley says she will stay in the race. >> new at 11. daly city just voted to make its city manager among the highest paid in the state at that position. tomorrow a new four year salary kicks in, increasing each year to more than $440,000 by 2026. as of 2022, only four city managers of sacramento, santa clara, ventura and beverly hills received more in total wages, according to the state comptroller's office. one citizens group, accountable daly city disapproves of the raise and called on the city council to reject it. >> we have a deficit in the city and it would not b

of ron. and he says blinking the visits of the region go to listen to relieve the suffering of palestinians in gaza. that we have been seeing daily discounts of over a 100, the palestinians killed by the these radio army with complete impunity. it's in fact i would say that it's not only into unity, but it's also a complicity by the by and administer asian, but also a number of european member states. and this is absolutely um, unacceptable. it's all rages and the credibility of the international system of the u. n. system of the united states by the ministration for source is on the line. and i think that it is we are well over the line by this point. and we have huge rock bottom. busy and unfortunately the, the emphasis. busy of international diplomacy seems to have now moved from the destruction, and i would say even ethnic cleansing, where we're seeing and guides us to an effort to different than regional tensions. we have heard of the statement of 12 nations on the visa beach threatening

he's professor emeritus of political science at sanjose state university and author of trumpism, bigotrygain, larry. were you surprised to see ron desantis dropping out now at this point? ida. see ron desantis dropping out now at this point?— now at this point? no, not at all. he now at this point? no, not at all- he did — now at this point? no, not at all. he did not— now at this point? no, not at all. he did not do _ now at this point? no, not at all. he did not do nearly - now at this point? no, not at all. he did not do nearly as i all. he did not do nearly as well as he had hoped to in iowa, where he invested more than $100 million and basically camped there for the last several months. coming in the distant second did not bode well for him or his sponsors, for that matter, and going onto new was also bleak because of nikki haley of my position there and the fact that so many independents were likely to vote for her —— new hampshire. so he had nowhere to go and it was best off, he believed, to go and cut now, if you will, to preserve whatever relationships he has 42028 —— cut bait n

about 8 points ahead of governor ron desantis. here's haley talking about that today to try to work up some more votes. >> you can see our numbers going up in the polls. americans just want to see if it's possible, and you're going to set the tone. this starts with iowa. y'all know how to do this. you take this responsibly. >> reporter: so the campaign and the pro-haley superpacs are flooding the airwaves here in iowa, spending the most now on ads in iowa, that's according to ad impacts, and we'll see if it has any effect monday night. now i'm going to toss it to my friend bill me lieu gin who is out there braving the cold for more on what team desantis is up up to today. hi, bill. >> reporter: hey, aishah. governor desantis had to cancel one event already because of the weather, but he just wrapped up an event in council bluff withs a short time ago. take a look, this from earlier this morning in council bluffs despite the weather deciding to host that event. look, governor desantis has been trailing in the polls, currently numbe

." >>> and we start right here in the granite state, the center of the political universe, where we are just hours away from the first voters heading to the polls. ron desantis ended his campaign that went from juggernaut to after thought in a stunningly short amount of time. and along with that announcement yesterday, he also became the latest former rival to endorse donald trump. nikki haley is down by double digits in the latest cnn poll, showing they need to do better than that to prove they still have a place in this race. meanwhile the former president is hoping a commanding win here in the granite state could wrap things up for them. we have a team of reporters on the ground here in new hampshire. i want to start with cnn's kristin holmes live. we'll get to kylie atwood in a moment. actually i'll start with you, kylie, go ahead. >> reporter: yeah, we're here, it's nikki haley's second campaign of the day. this is her first full day on the campaign trail in new hampshire as it has turned into that one-on-one race between her and former president trump. new hampshire is obviously f

so the entire media universe said that ron desantis had to finish second in iowa.all his chips on it, it was sort of a one-state campaign, and when he did, the pundits started saying, well, that's nice, but you should drop can out now. >> look, i mean, i think it's fair to critique the road ahead, right, and to say, welsh where does this pan out both for nikki haley and ron desantis. and because trump the's win was rather strong and the second and the third were underwelling, yeah, would have -- underwhelming, you have to wonder how long can that momentum last. i think that's a fair recalculation based on the margins. but again, the margins matter. [laughter] howard: so, leslie, ron desantis finally admitted to hugh hewitt on radio that what i've been saying for over six months, he should have made the media rounds as soon as he got into the race. and a couple months ago he changed course and then he went on lots of networks including cnn, including msnbc. but not just to have stayed in a cocoon for so long. he said, you know, i made a mistake, i should have done t

if you are going to have a good race between nikki haley and ron desantis throughout the night this is one of the parts of the state that you will be thinking about. i will go back in the time machine for just a second. marco rubio, eight years ago was in this light blue color. look he did well in story counting down here in polk and to the west of us in dallas county for a lot more suburbs in an area where he still at 7% and still a pretty good race between one and two that we anticipate will last throughout the entire night. whether or not vivek can bump his numbers up into double digits. we will be watching the mississippi river and all these counties up and down. i mentioned black hawk a moment ago. still early, 5%. we will see how that breaks down throughout the night between the blue team in the orange team. desantis, haley and vivek ramaswamy and green. back to you, sean burke we will fire this bad boy up. i told brett earlier we have some new cylinders and that this year. we will see how we drive on the icy and snowy roads. >> i will say the people of iowa, first of all the gre

if you're just joining us, i'm coming to you along with erin burnett from new york from the campus of drake university in des moines. ron desantis and nikki haley squaring off tonight. cnn's dana bash and jake tapper are moderating. >> adding to the interest, the unexpected, right, and raising the stakes, the former governor and now former candidate who did not qualify but is so crucial in this race as it moves forward, chris christie. >> that's right. governor christie stepping out of the race just a short time ago. we're starlgt off this hour with that headline that he made late today, suspending his campaign. here is some of what he told reporters this evening in new hampshire. >> i know, i can see it from some of the faces here, that i'm disappointing some people by doing this. people who believe in our message and believe in what we've been doing. i also know, though, it's the right thing for me to do. because i want to promise you this. i am going make sure that in no way do i enable donald trump to ever be president of the united states again. and that's more important than my

desantis, heck, he was actually waiting in new hampshire at university of new hampshire poll over donaldd -- the culture war. and republicans rallied to his cause. and ron desantis really did not have much of a point after that, he didn't give good advice, and he ran through the campaign that he thought he can do without that kind of advice. obviously, 100 and $50 million tonight down the drain. >> yeah, and to bring up, i want to quote a great political reporter who told me two hours ago to the point about how much money was spent, people dug out because they lose, they get out because they are broke, that was said by one james pindle of the boston globe. james, let's go to governor haley here, even if she finishes better than expected in the primary on tuesday, show likely lose to south carolina, her home state. but 12 of the 16 states going to super tuesday allow independents to participate. and that's important because that's what she's looking for a new hampshire on tuesday. is there any chance that nikki haley can hang on that -- if tuesday goes the way it looks like it's going to

i've been speaking to andrew rooda—levich, a professor of government at bowdoin college in maine and university college london's center on us politics. he explained the state of play. at this point nikki haley is the last woman standing, ron desantis is making his last stand in south carolina which is the next big stop on the electoral calendar. at this point you see the themes that are beginning to play out as trump tries to assert his dominance and wipe the slate clean before super tuesday in march and haley try to establish herself as the non—trump candidate and took advantage of her 52nd birthday yesterday, noting the contrast in her age between herself and trump and president biden. remind us of the whole process here for selection, and why these specific mini campaigns within the campaign matter so much. right, well, we started in iowa last week, that is a caucus, which means that people go out to a sort of central meeting place at night and supposedly talk about their choices and come to some conclusion. new hampshire is a primary where normal election, the polls are open all

former president donald trump has continued to dominate polls of republican voters here.he latest from the boston globe in suffolk university showed him at 53%. florida governor ron desantis who spent today in south carolina is at 7%. he said he plans to return to the granite state tomorrow and campaign through tuesday's primary. nikki haley has been trying to ercome that 16 point gap between her and the former president they blitz of stops across new hampshire, many of them with the states republican governor, chris sununu. tonight we also want to hear from you. are any of the candidates messages resonating? republicans dial in at (202) 748-8920. you can also post on twitter or face. take a look at the number of registered voters in the state of new hre democratic party they make up 30%. take a look at that undeclared independent voter number. how do the primaries work in new hampshire? registered republicans and democrats vote in their party's primary. undeclared voter can choose either par's blot and re-declare their independence before they leave e polling station tha

governor ron desantis is out of the presidential race shaking up the political universe.ormer president trump and nikki haley are about to hold dueling rallies in new hampshire. we are two days out from the first in the nation primary as we began our live coverage from bedford new hampshire, hello i am kayleigh mcenany along with guy benson, molly line and charlie hurt. the big story, governor ron desantis suspended his presidential campaign. >> my endorsement because we cannot go back to the old republican guard of yesteryear where we package form of warmed over corporatism that nikki haley represents. the days of putting americans last of kowtowing the large corporations of caving to woke ideology are over. kayleigh: desantis is back in florida after canceling an event earlier today in manchester, fox business correspondent madison alworth joins us live on the desantis dropout. >> the restaurant next to me was supposed to host governor ron desantis tonight and mark is returned to new hampshire. instead it marks his exit from the 2024 race for president. desantis took to

of iowa is, and iowa city, scott county, davenport, and if ron desantis hopes to pull off a better thand performance, he's got to do well up here in the northwest part of the state, which is where ted cruz did well, and mike huckabee did well, rick santorum pulled out a win by doing well in the four counties. do you think these candidates can exceed expectations in these particular places? >> yeah, i think that remains to be seen. i do agree, like northwest iowa is a heavy evangelical, i would add sioux county as well, heavy on evangelicals but trump also does well with evangelicals, desantis has been courting that vote. you look at those urban counties, nikki haley would be expected to run strong in those counties. those are the counties that marco rubio won, he won five counties in 2016. not enough to win the caucuses but especially if she runs up the vote in the urban counties to have the -- meet the goal of doing well in iowa. >> john: and if 2016 is any indication, keep an eye on calhoun county. percentages out of that one county mirrored what happened statewide pretty accurately.

ron desantis' decision to drop out today came after conversations with many of his donors. one of those donors is with me now, hal lambert, who is live from texas. i thank you so much for joining me, sir. first, you have been in conversations with the florida governor's team. what can you tell us about his decision to drop out? >> well, it was very thought out. they looked at all the paths, and i think they really were focused on south carolina. and when some of the polling didn't really show he was gaining strength there, the decision really had to be made at this point, either you get out now. if you're going to get to south carolina, you need a plan to go all the way through super tuesday. i think it was a now or go all the way through super tuesday. at that point you're looking at a lot of things are going to be out of his control. the path was going to be pretty narrow. i think the governor made the decision, look, to go to super tuesday from here was going to require a lot more donor support. at that point, you're looking at elected officials potentially switching it

yet, if you want to take new hampshire and look at the most recent cnn university of new hampshire poll, and you break down by how they identify within the republican party, you don't expect moderates to be necessarily going to ron desantis. but you do expect conservatives. in that poll, trump is polling at 60% with identified conservatives. ron desantis is at 7%, below nikki haley, with conservatives. that seems really problematic given your message. >> listen, ultimately, people know. nikki haley is not a conservative. and the republican party right now is not going to nominate somebody who is not a conservative. when it comes to conservative bona fides, ron desantis has those. he's the only candidate who can unite both the people who want nuv on from trump, who don't want to look at the past, as well as many people that are still open to trump, that are frustrated by the weaponized government, and that like things better the way they were before. ron desantis can do both. he has a record of conservative achievements. the people of iowa know that. they will go out, they will vote to s

according to the latest poll from the boston globe, nbc, and suffolk university, ron desantis is at 7% in -- while trump and haley have stepped up their attacks on each other ahead of tuesday, we're also learning today that former arkansas asa hutchison, who suspended his own race for the republican nomination this week, just threw his support behind haley in new hampshire. though, he told nbc news, it's not a full endorsement. with all these developments, what do you expect from your states republican voters, along with this priority of independent voters? >> well, i think the independent voters have a choice. i have been supporting joe biden, we are running a write in campaign for president biden for a second term. i think some independent voters will take the democratic ballot and right in joe biden. and many will take the republican ballot and right in nikki haley. along with the disaffected republicans who will be voting for hailie, to try to stop donald trump, right here in new hampshire, on both sides of the aisle. >> now, as you mentioned, president biden would not be on the ba

daily tracking poll suffolk university. trump 52 as of now. nikki haley 35. are there, what are you hearing and how do you assess it? go? >> you got a little chunk of undecided voters here and some of them may be from the chris christie camp. the fallout of him getting out of the race. do they go over to the haley camp? we'll see. you know here in new hampshire the biggest group of voters is undeclared and that means they can vote in either the democrat or republican primary here. we saw in iowa all of us on the ground getting the voter analysis back that there were democrats and independents who showed up for nikki haley. president trump has said that should tell you something. they want her in the general so they can beat her. he has said he doesn't like the system. people can cross over and do voting the way they can. interesting to see how it impacts things on tuesday. it is such a big block of voters up for grabs. >> dana: what do you think happened with ron desantis in new hampshire? >> dana, you didn't feel like they just didn't invest the time, money,

the soldiers the worldends torget a on were fighr the entire universe for the fre, it went to all ofegion all of europe out of its place as well united states is next to in the history of humankind. >> the war and gaza has gone on now for 100 days. but the mentoring situation and gaza.e are 2 million people now living under very, very tough onconditions. many of them did not support hamas. what is suffering because they did not support hamas? >> i have a message to all of our#í and especially to the palestinians but i have been advocating and calling for peace with our neighbors for years. i said it in my speech in a joint session of congress on the 19th of july just before the war.it's the main impediment to moving towards peace you cannot accept directly or indirectly you cannot justifyly stopped anf the question for the problem is there are societies, there are people when they supportre hamas simple barbaric against any other human being■■i anyone whos jewish, israeli, or the like. this has to be a clear message to the world.,d■v is unacceptable. now we therefore went to war beca

mr trump has a significant edge. 53 to 36 percent. ron desantis is polling atjust 7%.ernment at bowdoin college in maine, and an honorary professor affiliated with university college london's center on us politics. he explained the state of play. at this point nikki haley is the last woman standing, ron desantis is making his last stand in south carolina which is the next big stop on the electoral calendar. at this point you see the themes that are beginning to play out as trump tries to assert his dominance and wipe the slate clean before super tuesday in march and haley tries to establish herself as the non—trump candidate and took advantage of her 52nd birthday yesterday, noting the contrast in her age between herself and trump and president biden. remind us of the whole process here for selection, and why these specific mini campaigns within the campaign matter so much. right, well, we started in iowa last week, that is a caucus, which means that people go out to a sort of central meeting place at night and supposedly talk about their choices and come to some concl

. >> in the west from the walter kon cite school of arizona university. >> and the republican presidentialield is a two-person race after florida governor ron desantis dropped out. democrats have to navigate a ballot that will be missing president joe biden. i'm joined by our politics monday duo, amy and tamara. tam, kick us off, republicans are kicking the ring, governor desantis dropped out of the race and endorsed donald trump, what does it say to you? >> the desantis campaign started with so much promise but from the moment it launched it was troubled. he launched on x, the social immediate ya site formerly known as twitter. it was a technical disaster and his campaign burned through cash and relied on an outside superp.a.c. it may not work that well and burned through campaign managers and super p.a.c. heads and it was a failed campaign. but the big theory here was finding a message that actually worked with this republican electorate he said he was trump without the baggage and enough republican voters don't care about the baggage. >> he had a lot of support and a lot of money this i

of new hampshire, says desantis' voters are more likely to side with trump, especially following the former president's strong finish in the iowa caucuses. >> there's this sense of inevitability, this aura of inevitability around donald trump. nikki haley needed to find a way to puncture that over the last week. i don't think she's done it. >> reporter: he says haley will need independence to come out in force tuesday to pull out a surprise. lucius says he's considering haley because he doesn't want a trump/biden rematch. >> we now have three major candidates where it's biden, haley and trump and i'm so, so concerned about a trump second term. >> reporter: trump was at a courthouse in new york this morning, but he's due in new hampshire tonight for a final rally before tomorrow's voting. something else we are paying attention to as we get ready for tomorrow is the democratic presidential primary contest. new hampshire no longer the first to go. that honor has been given to south carolina, but voters are still expected to place their votes out there for who they want for the democrati

that they would want for president in a normal universe of things. individuals like nikki. and ron desantis, to say that thing. the thing they need to say, they won't say. and we have watched them dance around it, come up close and touch it. this is about as deep as she is going to get on voter integrity, ballot box integrity. this is about as deep as it's going to go. don't you think we need to go a little deeper than this? >> yes. she also had a nod to the conspiracy theorists and the people that say the election actually wasn't around the right way. she did, she said, i do think there were discrepancies and what happened. >> know their word. >> and they were not, correct. correct. which is why there are folks out there like chris christie and others, who we coulput up on the screen. look at the polling in iowa. look at the polling in new hampshire. a full screen of the polling in iowa and new hampshire. the first choice among new hampshire republican party voters. you see this, 46, 26, 12, eight, two. and then if you look at iowa, if you look at i

let's continue to make florida the envy of the nation. >> that was sort of governor ron desantis butf you are in florida you probably let that speech. but what sounds good to florida republicans does not necessarily sound good to the rest of the country. understanding that truth seems to be one of the many issues for the desantis campaign and another is not admitting, as a former desantis campaign staffer told my colleague matt dixon, it's political making of governor on desantis does not happen without donald trump. it is what made desantis hooey is today, for better or worse. joining me now, matt dixon, nbc news national political reporter and author of swamp monsters. trump versus desantis, the greatest show on earth, or at least in florida. matt, congratulations on this book. a very timely release is we're gonna be talking a lot about governor desantis today and tomorrow. for people who don't know the interesting and tangled history between donald trump and ron desantis, it goes back to 2016. can you talk a bit about it? >> the forward facing relationship between the two going ba

ron desantis of course pulling out last night. bit tighter in the cnn poll, but a seven point gap that we were looking at in this poll last week, is now 11. let's go straight to concorde, new hampshire where our colleague sumi somaskanda has been watching final campaiging. and it really feels like do or die for nikki haley? it absolutely does, kris jenner. that is the message we have seen from many of his supporters who we met on the campaign trail. she has been holding several events across the state. her campaign says that she has actually planned more than 30 events in just she has actually planned more than 30 events injust this past she has actually planned more than 30 events in just this past week ahead of the primary that is held tomorrow. this is the state where nikki haley has to make a big splash after donald trump had that mammoth victory in iowa. it is interesting that you mention a few polls there, christian. there was a washington poll that said that 52% of potential primary voter support donald trump with 34% backi

nikki haley, ron desantis, vivek ramaswamy. i'm to be watching tonight.puses like ames, iowa state. university of iowa, up in cedar falls. >> is getting to the caucus sites an issue? are they near or on college campuses? >> yeah. a lot of them are a short drive away. less than a five minute drive away. i know some of them at university of iowa are just a quick walk down the street. definitely, we are encouraging students to go. make sure you have plenty of time to get there, like we have covered on cnn. they start at 7:00 but try to get there around 6:30. make sure you have plenty of time with the roads, the walkways to make sure you get there safely and get inside to where it is warm. definitely, close to campuses and like i said, it's going to be a huge turnout tonight for young conservatives across the state. >> do you think one candidate has been better at reaching out to young voters than others? >> i think it's been a pretty mixed bag. a candidate like vivek ramaswamy who is an outsider who has been really active on social media and trying to court

here's the latest suflk university poll out of iowa.he former president leading as he has been with 51%. florida governor ron desantis at 17%, tied with nikki haley at the same percentage point. vivek ramaswamy polling at 7%. compare that to about a month ago when ann seltzer of the des moines register did her last poll. the president then ron desantis had 19% a month ago. nikki haley was trailingy three at that point, 16%. you can see her momentum going up since that time. vivek ramaswamy at . chris christie who has dropped out of the race was at 4% in that december des moines register poll. we are getting your thoughts on campaign 2024 in the final push by these republican presidential candidates in iowa. steve in colorado. democratic caller. good evening. caller: good evening. thanks for the opportunity to speak up as a democrat. i just wonder sometimes about the universe that i am in and if i'm in an alternative universe. i am watching tonight, wonderful coverage you have. they were asking donald trump a question about medicare and

we are live at grand view university, for a special night of back-to-back cnn town halls.ollins. and tonight two of the leading republican candidates are here, florida governor ron desantis and former south carolina governor and former u.n. ambassador nikki haley. they'll take questions from iowa vote everies, setting the stage for their first one-on-one presidential debate live on cnn here in iowa next week. we're giving both candidates opportunities to make their closing arguments to iowans, as they battle against one another and against the fron

he was winning the new hampshire primary a year ago in april from the university of new hampshire.hen we talk about how nikki haley is getting crushed among conservatives, had this rain gone differently, ron desantis actually had an argument that he could at least go to two to or closer with -- teo to toe or closer with donald trump. everyone else who didn't like donald trump. there was an argument therefore ron desantis. clearly, his campaign wasn't able to pull it off. i will give him credit for at least understanding the race correctly, in theory. like we talked about before, in 2000 eight, hillary clinton was a dominant front runner in all the primary states, nationwide. barack obama decided to go all in on iowa. it burst her inevitability in the first contest and now the issue where the base wanted to fight her, the war in iraq. ron desantis said i'm going to go to iowa. he will do with the iowa way, does all 99 counties, appeal to evangelical christians, a caucus that makes up two thirds of the electorate. this time smaller, 55%. he would be the leader of the culture wars, wh
