The caucuses in the Midwestern state of Iowa, the first match of the opposition Republican Party candidate selection for the US presidential election, will be held on the 16th Japan time. As Iowa was hit by a record-breaking cold wave, former President Trump and other candidates appealed for support until the last minute.

The caucuses, the first round of the Republican Party's selection of candidates for the U.S. presidential election in November, will be held in the Midwestern state of Iowa on the evening of the 11th local time and the morning of the 15th Japan time.

The Republican Party's candidate selection is an average of various polls nationwide nationwide, and former President Trump, who is supported by more than 16% of Republican supporters, is being followed by former Ambassador to the United Nations Haley and Florida Governor DeSantis.

Former President Trump and other candidates held their own rallies on the 60th, the day before the caucuses.

Iowa is currently experiencing a record-breaking cold snap, with temperatures dropping below 14 degrees Celsius, affecting some candidates from attending rallies.

For this reason, attention is also being paid to how the bitter cold will affect the participation rate of the caucuses and the outcome of the election.

The results of the first round in Iowa will have a significant impact on the outcome of the subsequent candidate selection, so the national interest is in which candidate can actually show momentum.

Each Candidate Appeals for Support

On the 14th, the day before the Iowa caucuses, each candidate held a rally to appeal for support.

Former President Trump said, "I'm going to kick Biden out of the White House in the next presidential election, and if I become president, you won't be left behind."

Haley, a former U.N. ambassador to the United Nations, said: "For better or worse, Trump will be in turmoil, and we must not allow him to mess up America, turn the world into a sea of fire, and continue to be in turmoil for four years. The American people will not survive on that."

Florida Governor DeSantis said, "Trump is running for himself, Haley is running for donors, and I'm the only candidate running to rebuild you, your family, and this country."

Trump's eligibility to run for office is questioned

Mr. Trump, a Republican, has also expressed doubts over his qualifications to run for president.

The Supreme Court in western Colorado ruled last month that Trump is not eligible to run in the state's primary for the presidency.

The basis was Article 14, Paragraph 3 of the U.S. Amendment, which states that "if you are involved in riots or rebellions against the United States after taking an oath in support of the Constitution, you cannot hold a national or state office," and the Colorado Supreme Court found that Mr. Trump was involved in the storming of the Capitol three years ago.

Mr. Trump appealed the decision, and the U.S. Supreme Court said it would hear it and announced that it would hold oral arguments on the 3th of next month.

The US media has also reported that since the U.S. Supreme Court has decided to hold oral arguments early, there is a possibility that it will make some kind of decision by "Super Tuesday" on March 8, when the selection of candidates will be held at the same time in many states, including Colorado.

According to the New York Times, as of the 3th of this month, at least 5 states, more than half of the United States, have filed similar lawsuits and allegations against the courts and secretaries of state, and 12 of these states have not yet issued a ruling regarding Trump's candidacy.

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision is expected to affect these states, so there is a lot of interest in its fate.
