Chasing the Base: Iowa Evangelicals and Trump
Podcast: WSJ What’s NewsPublished On: Sat Jan 13 2024
Description: Evangelical Christians hold great sway over Iowa’s Republican caucuses. They set back Donald Trump in 2016 when Ted Cruz finished ahead of him. Since then, Trump appointed conservative judges to the U.S. Supreme Court who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, which provided federal abortion protections. He also has been found liable for sexual abuse. WSJ political reporter Jimmy Vielkind travels to Des Moines and its surrounding communities to speak with evangelical voters who support Trump despite misgivings about his personal life, and those who did so previously but may be going a different direction this election. Correction: Altoona, Iowa, is east of Des Moines. An earlier version of this podcast incorrectly said it was west. (Corrected on Jan. 16) Learn more about your ad choices.
