Republican candidates sharpen attacks against Donald Trump ahead of Iowa caucus

Republican candidates are sharpening their attacks on Donald Trump as the Iowa Caucus closes to less than two weeks away. The two leading candidates fighting to de-throne Donald Trump, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, have hosted televised Town Halls in Iowa. “Rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him,” Ms Haley said about the former US president. “Donald Trump is running for his issues, Nikki Haley is running for her donors’ issues, I’m running for your issues,” Mr DeSantis told the crowd. Despite the back-to-back televised Town Halls from Ms Haley and Mr DeSantis, Donald Trump still remains the favourite in the polls to assume the Republican nomination.
