DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa Republicans yesterday rescheduled their presidential nominating caucuses to January 3 in response to other states scheduling early contests. “With under 80 days to go, this is a huge help to our counties and county chairs to get the ball rolling and start organizing,” the executive director of the Iowa GOP, Chuck Laudner, said in a statement. The announcement came late yesterday after the state central committee, two national committee members, and the party chairman approved the date on a conference call.
