Iowa Democratic Party Statement on GOP Caucus Results
Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart issued the following statement on the 2024 GOP Iowa caucus.
“Tonight’s results put the stakes of this election on full display – not just for Iowans, but for the entire nation. Donald Trump and the entire Republican field spent every minute leading up to the caucus twisting themselves in knots to stake out the most extreme positions this country has ever seen. Trump showed us exactly what he would do to America if he gets the chance: ban abortion nationwide, cut Social Security and Medicare, make our communities less safe, and give handouts to the wealthy while raising costs on middle-class families. As he keeps campaigning, we know this MAGA wishlist will only grow more dangerous.
“This election is about choices, and the contrast we’ve seen in Iowa is exactly what folks will see nationwide over the next 10 months. With President Biden and Vice President Harris, Americans can count on more rights and not fewer; more freedoms and not less; an economy built from the bottom up and middle out – not the top down; and a country that doesn’t just work for the rich and powerful, but for everyone to have the chance to live, work, and retire with dignity. As November quickly approaches, Iowa Democrats are ready to knock doors, make phone calls, and mobilize voters to defeat MAGA Republicans at the ballot box and help send President Biden and Vice President Harris back to the White House once again,” said IDP Chair Rita Hart.
