NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: As the United States sets foot in the election year, 'Fox & Friends' co-host Griff Jenkins welcomed Iowa radio host Jeff Angelo on the show to discuss the first caucus that is to be held in the state on January 15.

Citing the report of the latest poll conducted by Fox Business, Jenkins said that Donald Trump continues to be in the lead with support from 52% of the participants, while Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley trail behind with 18% and 16%, respectively.

'The race is for the second place'

When Jenkins asked what Americans can look forward to in the upcoming caucus, Angelo began with a jibe at reporters booking up restaurants and feasting on the company dollar for the event.

He then seriously responded that former President Trump is presumably up for a major win in the state.

"The race in Iowa is for the second place, and then that candidate needs to gain some momentum in a state down the line, New Hampshire or South Carolina, to be positioned as the alternative to Trump in the race," he stated.

"But here in Iowa, Trump is gonna win it in a runaway," he reiterated.

GOP is expecting a record turnout for Iowa caucus

Jenkins wondered why a huge turnout was expected if Trump was likely to win by a landslide margin. Angelo pointed out that it may be because of public curiosity that the conversations across media platforms have created.

"They would like to see a caucus and put in their two cents for who is going to be the next presidential nominee for the Republican party," he explained.

"Even with the polling numbers, you have a lot of people who are going to show up for the first time. That's what some of the candidates are counting on, that these are the folks who are not getting polled," he added.

The discussion then turned to Ron DeSantis, who is trailing just behind Trump in the polls.

"The problem with Ron DeSantis has been that the Iowa caucus is a one-on-one experience. He is better behind a podium, and not really charismatic and warm one-to-one with an Iowan. So it is hard to build up an enthusiasm that is needed to drive people to the polls," stated Angelo.
