Trump Fires Up Iowa: A Strategic Rally Amidst the Republican Race

By -

In a compelling speech delivered in Iowa on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump passionately shaped his closing argument to Republican voters ahead of the upcoming Iowa caucuses. Positioned as the front-runner for the Republican nomination, Trump aimed to energize Iowa Republicans by maintaining a steadfast focus on defeating President Joe Biden, while also taking jabs at his primary opponents, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who lag far behind in both Iowa and national polls.

This Iowa event, preceding visits to New Hampshire and Nevada, marked a pivotal moment for Trump as he commands a significant lead in primary polls. With less than five weeks before voting commences, he aimed to thwart any potential momentum for his rivals. Notably, his campaign received a boost with a federal judge pausing an election interference case, potentially averting trial delays during the critical campaign season.

Speaking to a charged crowd in a Coralville hotel ballroom, the former president asserted that Biden's economic policies had left American families worse off, particularly during the holiday season. Channeling former President Ronald Reagan, Trump posed the poignant question, "Were you better off four years ago or are you better off today?"

Trump targeted DeSantis, a key contender in Iowa, highlighting his previous opposition to ethanol subsidies—a crucial concern for corn farmers in the state. Trump remarked, "Politicians change for elections, but then they immediately go back." Dismissing Haley's recent rise in polls, Trump emphasized his substantial lead over her and the rest of the GOP field. He also took aim at New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu after he endorsed Haley, insisting that the support would have minimal impact in the Granite State.

Despite Trump's formidable lead in nationwide polling, the campaign is intensifying efforts to mobilize voters for the January 15 Iowa caucuses. Videos educating supporters on how to caucus for the former president are being showcased at events. Notably, Trump's rivals have surpassed him in terms of the number of events held in the state.

To bolster Trump's presence, allies such as Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson are scheduled to act as surrogates at Iowa events in the coming days. In a CNN town hall, DeSantis seized every opportunity to critique Trump, aiming to narrow the polling gap. Trump's team, confident in Iowa, acknowledges potential challenges in New Hampshire, where Haley's popularity has surged. On his Truth Social platform, Trump vehemently criticized Sununu's endorsement, asserting that Haley had "no chance of winning." As the Republican race intensifies, Trump's strategic maneuvers and confident demeanor continue to shape the narrative of this closely watched campaign.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
