GOP candidates have officially begun campaigning for the Iowa
primaries, making stops in the state over the last month and
professing their love for corporations, gutting regulations, and
demonizing communities across the country.
Donald Trump made his regular points of claiming to be the "best" for
whatever audience he is in front of, with the focus in Iowa being
farmers and fossil fuels. He also went on an aggressive tirade
against any policy that would combat the climate crisis, as well as
stating he would reinstate his ban on people coming in from
Muslim-majority countries and reverse all Biden administration
policies.
Casey DeSantis campaigned in Iowa for her husband by leaning into the
anti-LGBTQ rhetoric by claiming that Democrats are "coming after
[your] kids." A big selling point of the DeSantis campaign has been
peddling lies about the Covid pandemic, as well as being a vociferous
force against the LGBTQ community. Hosting Casey DeSantis, the Iowa
Governor made it a point to highlight the connection between the
"faith community" and government.
Also visiting Iowa, former VP Mike Pence broke away from Trump on the
idea of January 6th and the Big Lie while being confronted by a Trump
supporter. He also told the world the truth about Republicans and
their loyalty in saying, “I don't really buy into the rich need to
pay their fair share.”
One month ago in the state, Nikki Haley stressed the importance of
border security and blasted the Biden administration for the
withdrawal from Afghanistan; The Trump administration floated that
same withdrawal and received praise. She also reprimanded the ability
of citizens to access Medicaid and affordable healthcare,
highlighting the GOP's crusade against low-income Americans and
demonizing them.
What all of these candidates have in common: a push for less freedoms
for anyone they deem unworthy, less access to healthcare and
affordable living, and working on behalf of the fossil-fuel industry
and other corporate donors.

radical right. Help us defend the Presidency and make sure that
Democrats are able to continue delivering for all Americans.
