Could evangelical leader's endorsement upend Trump's massive lead before Iowa's caucus?

With less than two months to go until the Iowa caucuses, former President Donald Trump remains the commanding front-runner in the state that leads off the Republican presidential nomination calendar.

But a prominent social conservative leader in Iowa — a state where evangelical voters play an outsized role in Republican politics — said he believes Trump is still beatable.

"You’re seeing the field naturally coalesce. It’s getting smaller and smaller," Bob Vander Plaats, president and CEO of The Family Leader, a politically active and influential social conservative group, told Fox News Digital as he pointed to the winnowing of the 2024 GOP presidential field.

Noting that the former president's under 50% support in the latest polls in Iowa, Vander Plaats predicted that Trump's backing might be as low as 35% by the time of the Jan. 15 caucuses.

"There’s definitely a shot that the former president can be beat here," he argued.
