Trump buys pizza for Iowa firefighters

Mr Trump delivered pizza to firefighters in Waukee, Iowa, as Republican voters in the state prepared to choose their party's presidential nominee.

Former US President Donald Trump bought pizza at Casey's in Iowa on January 14 to give to firefighters in Waukee. Trump carried a stack of pizzas and happily shared them with members of the Waukee Fire Department.

"Good luck, everyone. This pizza is delicious," the former US president told the firefighters. He also took a slice and invited everyone to enjoy it.

Trump was joined by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum at the Waukee Fire Department. Burgum had announced his presidential bid but dropped out last month. He is now backing former President Trump.

Iowa is the first state in the US to hold a presidential election. Iowa Republicans will hold caucuses and vote on January 15, while Democrats are scheduled to hold their primary here on March 5.

Poll results in Iowa state show that Mr. Trump is leading the Republican presidential candidates with 48% support, followed by former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with 20% and 16% support respectively.

Ahead of the January 15 vote, Iowa is experiencing bitterly cold weather that could impact voter turnout. Trump, DeSantis and Haley have all had to adjust their event schedules in recent days due to heavy snowfall.
