ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The Iowa Caucuses for the Republican Party is officially Monday and for every candidate not named Donald Trump, it could spell the end for a few political campaigns.
Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley will look to try and put a dent into Trump's presidential run while Vivek Ramaswamy has a whole lot of catching up to do after failing to even appear at the last Republican Debate before the caucuses on CNN last Tuesday.
As most Americans knows, the Iowa Caucuses are one of the more important primaries during presidential election season as it is the first major contest and seen as a major indicator of how candidates could do in later primaries.
Iowa caucuses are also one of the more unique electoral events, as Iowa voters gather at local caucus meetings to discuss and vote on the candidates, instead of primary elections system where voters go to polling places to cast ballots. That process can last hours and could happen anywhere from gymnasiums to someone's garage.
KMOX's John Hancock and Michael Kelley has have plenty of experiences dealing with the Iowa Caucuses during their times in the political world. Kelley was a part of former House Majority Leader and Missouri U.S. Rep. Dick Gephardt's Presidential Campaign in 2004 while Hancock worked a part of Mitt Romney's Presidential Campaign in 2008 as a member of the Finance Team.
Both delved on their show 'Hancock and Kelley' Friday the inner workings of the Iowa Caucuses and gives insight what members of the DeSantis and Haley campaigns are going through at the moment and what will the scene in Iowa looks like on Monday. They also discuss their personal experiences dealing with Iowa's "spoiled little brats" voters, and working the campaign trail in Iowa.
