The first in the nation Republican presidential contest is in just nine days, when the Iowa caucuses are held on Jan.15. Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are both looking to gain momentum in a longshot bid to win the GOP nomination over Donald Trump.The winner of the contest is essentially a foregone conclusion, as months of lower candidates crisscrossing the Hawkeye state have failed to make much of a dent in Trump’s lead.
