Evangelical Leader's Endorsement Shakes Up Trump's Iowa Lead

Former President Donald Trump's lead in the Iowa caucuses, which kick off the Republican presidential nomination calendar, could be upended by the endorsement of prominent social conservative leader Bob Vander Plaats. Vander Plaats, president and CEO of The Family Leader, believes Trump is beatable and predicts his support may drop to as low as 35% by the time of the caucuses. Vander Plaats, who is likely to endorse one of Trump's rivals, will host a presidential forum featuring Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former ambassador Nikki Haley, and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Trump's absence from the forum and Vander Plaats' potential endorsement have raised questions about the former president's standing among evangelical voters in Iowa.
