Donald Trump’s message to voters in Iowa on the eve of 2024’s first major political test—as residents battle through ungodly cold temperatures to get to the caucuses—has shocked, but not surprised, hosts Danielle Moodie and Andy Levy on The New Abnormal podcast this week.
Trump told supporters in Indianola on Sunday that even if they were “sick as a dog,” it was worth braving the chill to vote. If they then passed away, “it’s worth it,” the former president added.

“So ‘Vote and Die,’ Danielle, that is the new slogan,” Levy said in response. “If you want anything that sums up Trump perfectly, I mean, this is it. ‘Go out and do this thing for me, and then if you die, it’s fine.’”
Pointing to the critical temperatures and warning people to be careful, Moodie agreed: “Donald Trump, a man that canceled events in Iowa because of extreme temperatures, is telling his supporters to go out and die for him. It’s basically the same thing that he said on January 6th, right?”
