A majority of Iowa's Republican voters say they're sticking with former President Donald Trump, even after their popular governor said he couldn't win — and endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Trump is so far ahead in Iowa polls that some voters in Buffalo, Iowa, a small riverfront community down the Mississippi River from Davenport are starting to feel a bit apathetic about the upcoming caucuses.
"It just seems like it's a done deal," said John McBride, who was walking his two dogs near his house. "It's not even close."
But Trump's lead is also causing some anxiety among those who worry about his general election electability challenges.
