Politics update

NPR reported that only about 110,000 Republicans caucused with 99% of Iowa results in, as of 1:30 a.m. ET. That represents less than 15% of the total number of registered Republicans in the state — perhaps not surprising in the record cold. But Trump got almost 900,000 votes in Iowa in 2020. Put another way, almost $124 million was spent on campaign ads in Iowa by the Republican candidates, more than any other state by far.That translates to $1,124 per person who showed up to vote.
