Former Presidents Trump and Haley make distinct closing arguments in Iowa: Trump emphasizes his winning record and confidence, while Haley attacks and differentiates herself, other candidates try to regain momentum before the caucuses
During the final days before the Iowa caucuses, former President Trump and Nikki Haley are making distinct closing arguments to win over voters.

Haley's strategy seems to be to differentiate herself from Trump and appeal to voters looking for a change. Meanwhile, other candidates like Ron DeSantis are facing stagnant poll numbers and trying to regain momentum before the caucuses. Overall, the race remains tight, and the closing arguments will likely play a significant role in determining the outcome.

Ron DeSantis, on the other hand, is emphasizing his ability to address the issues important to Iowans and his record of action, including his stance on ending birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants, which Trump failed to follow through on. DeSantis' supporters believe he is a better version of Trump. Nikki Haley's gaffes, such as mistakenly referring to Iowa as being corrected by New Hampshire, have been used against her in Iowa. DeSantis has also gained support from conservative House members Chip Roy and Thomas Massie, who are taking shots at Trump during their speeches for DeSantis, but DeSantis himself remains focused on his message.
