An aide to likely presidential candidate Scott Walker resigned Tuesday over her criticism of the influential Iowa caucuses, according to the Associated Press.
Liz Mair had tweeted in January, “The sooner we remove Iowa's front-running status, the better off American politics and policy will be.” That comment and others resurfaced after the Wisconsin governor hired Mair on Monday to consult on digital communications, sparking backlash from figures such as the chairman of the Iowa GOP.
