CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Donald Trump is urging his supporters in Iowa to turn out in “big numbers” when Republicans cast the first presidential nomination votes in 33 days. The former president, who has remained far ahead of his rivals in national polls and those of likely Iowa caucusgoers, is pressing his supporters not to be complacent despite his frontrunner status. Addressing Iowa voters on Wednesday, he said: “We are leading by a lot but you have to go out and vote. That margin of victory is so, so powerful.” He also insulted his GOP rivals and President Joe Biden and boasted about bringing back the phrase “Merry Christmas,” though he didn’t offer details explaining when he thought it had gone missing.
