Iowa Republican Party Chair Jeff Kaufmann said that a strong turnout on Monday night’s Republican caucus would cement Iowa’s place as the kick-off to his party’s presidential nominating process.
“I think it’s going to be a robust turnout,” Kaufmann said at a Bloomberg News roundtable in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sunday, the day before the first contest in the US. “If we have a good turnout, I don’t know that I have to make a strong argument. Iowans get out, and it’s -15, and they show up at a caucus.”
