Walker Retrenches to Focus on Iowa

Gov. Scott Walker — “who has tumbled from top-tier status amid tepid debate performances and other missteps — will pull back from other early-voting states in favor of a heavy focus on Iowa, where he once led the field and has strong roots as a Midwesterner,” the Washington Post reports.

“The Wisconsin governor also faces growing pressure from some financial backers to make staffing changes in an attempt to turn around his campaign. But in a brief interview… Walker said he had just completed a conference call with about 80 major donors — none of whom mentioned wanting staff changes.”
