DES MOINES, Iowa – Meet Sue Smith, a Des Moines voter who supported Donald Trump in 2020 and is planning to caucus for Nikki Haley on Monday. Meet Dan Lienemann, a small business owner from Waukee, who is deciding between Trump and Haley.
With just three days until the Iowa caucuses, voters across the Hawkeye State are rallying to Nikki Haley's message of leaving behind the drama and chaos of the past and electing a new generational, conservative leader. See for yourself.
SUE SMITH: "I think I probably really like a lot of Iowans, just started paying attention within the last two or three weeks but I really like what I see with Nikki Haley. I think she's obviously, her credentials are strong as a former governor and a former ambassador to the UN. I like how she can grasp the complexity of our national and international situation right now. And I think she would restore dignity and class to the White House. Her character is strong. She's someone that I would want my children to emulate. And I think she just serves as a balm, sort of to heal America's soul right now, which is something we desperately need. And I agree with your previous guest, I guess, who was talking about electability. I think she is electable regardless of whomever the Democrats choose to run."
DAN LIENEMANN: "It is between President Trump and Governor Haley. Really boils down to a known commodity with President Trump. I know what we're going to get as far as policies. And I like that, although I don't like the chaos that surrounds it. It's a little bit of a circus, both from his opponents and some of his own self-inflicted wounds. But then you have Governor Haley on the other side, and she says that she likes a lot of the policies that Trump enacted. And I am assuming that she'll follow through with that but I do think there's, as Sue said, an opportunity to have a better consensus in working maybe with the other side of the aisle with Governor Haley so it's kind of a decision between what is known and what is unknown a little bit between the two."
