Don Maryse of West Des Moines told Axios that Iowa's caucus rules give “mischievous” anti-Trump voters “an opportunity to undermine Trump's inevitability.”
“I'm going to continue to caucus with my nose for Haley,” Maryse added.
Democrats see Haley as an alternative to Trump, which could artificially improve her election performance ahead of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, said Republican strategist David Kochel. told Axios.
“Even if 5,000 or 7,500 people across the state crossed over for her, that could be the difference between her and Ron DeSantis,” Kochel said.
