Despite plummeting temperatures, Iowa is the state where the race for the White House will really start to heat up, writes BrianOD_News
But while the conditions may be freezing, Iowa is where the race for the White House will really start to heat up.It is the first contest in the presidential primary season and will see voters gather to select their preferred candidate for the Democratic nomination.
Iowa will be quickly followed by New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina before Super Tuesday in March when Democratic voters in 14 states and overseas territories will cast their ballots. Iowa holds caucuses as opposed to a primary. Voters physically show up in a town hall or a school gym and listen to canvassers promoting their candidate. They then move to a particular part of the room to show their support for their chosen nominee.
There are warning signs for Republicans when it comes to Iowa. Democrats flipped two of the state's congressional seats in the midterm elections.
