(Radio Iowa) – Events with the G-O-P presidential candidates are getting cancelled or postponed today (Friday) due to the weather conditions. Nikki Haley’s campaign is holding telephone town halls instead. The Super PAC backing Ron DeSantis indicated it will make a call on events late today (Friday). Former President Donald Trump is due in Iowa tomorrow (Saturday). Stacy Bronner says the forecast for frigid temperatures MONDAY won’t keep her from showing up at her Caucus in Cedar Rapids. “I really think people will turn out. This is Iowa,” she says. “I mean people are used to it, you know, if you live here long enough you’re used to it.”

Last (Thursday) night, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley told an eastern Iowa crowd that if she can brave the cold, they can too. “Look, I know what’s going to be negative 15 on Monday. I don’t even know what that is that’s so like I literally can’t comprehend it it’s going to be negative 15 But I’m going to be out there and I want you to go out there.”

The current forecast shows a low of minus 18 is expected on Monday.
