Iowa gets 10 min speeches from GOP candidates

Iowa is one of the early battleground primary states for Republicans, with their caucuses being scheduled in 2024 for January 15th.

With that clock ticking, and millions of dollars of donor money at stake for the winner of the Iowa caucus, a majority of the GOP candidates descended on the Lincoln Day Dinner in Des Moines. Each candidate was allowed a ten minute speech, but only three speeches are getting any attention after the fact.

Obviously, the speeches by Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis are getting the most attention, as the two candidates are currently running one and two in all the Republican primary polls. But the speech by former congressman Will Hurd – a complete longshot candidate – is also getting attention for its shock value.
