President Trump is set to take victory in the Iowa caucuses, and it appears that his supporters are prepared to battle through severe snow and storms to make sure that the 45th president reigns supreme on Monday.
According to the Des Moines Register, a huge blizzard is beginning its sweep through the state just ahead of the Jan. 15 caucuses, as heavy snow is poised to stop people from traveling on the roads and in the air.
One Iowa voter told Fox News, “I’m pretty loyal to Trump, I mean, so I’ll go through a blizzard…to go vote.”
Another Iowan told the outlet that “die-hard Trump supporters are going to come out under any circumstance.”
Severe weather is the only uphill battle President Trump appears to be facing in the Hawkeye State, but native Iowans seem determined to get out and caucus, regardless of the weather conditions.
In an Iowa ISU/Civiqs poll, Trump is holding a 41-point lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who are both tied at 14 percent of support, respectively.
Trump is set to win by large margins, even if voter turnout is slightly suppressed because of the severe weather. The expansive gap that he has earned among caucus-goers in the poll should be more than enough to protect his prospective win in the first primary contest in the state.
Trump will also visit Iowa this weekend amid the snow and ice storm, delivering four speeches between Saturday and Sunday in a final, powerful push to court caucus-goers before Monday.
The DMR reported that weather services have said that travel in Iowa may be “dangerous or impossible” over the weekend, so it remains to be seen if President Trump’s travel plans and campaign stops in the Hawkeye State will remain on schedule.
As of Friday, President Trump is scheduled to deliver speeches in Atlantic, Sioux City, Indianola, and Cherokee.
