The race to become the Republican challenger to Joe Biden in next year’s presidential election has suddenly started to heat up.
Republican Party leaders announced on Thursday that their first event to pick a candidate would be the traditional Iowa caucuses in February next year. (Democrats have chosen to start their race in South Carolina.) Although it is a full year before Iowa kicks off the race, it was enough to send a shiver of excitement through the party and through those considering a run against former president Donald Trump.
