Huckabee, who won a majority of Republican votes in the Iowa caucuses when he first ran for president in 2008, will likely make a major push in the state if he launches another bid.
A Quinnipiac University poll conducted in late February found that 11 percent of likely caucus-goers supported Huckabee among a crowded field of Republican contenders, with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in the lead with 25 percent
Huckabee’s Iowa trip comes after a brief swing through Washington, D.C., where he met with the American Enterprise Institute President Arthur Brooks and Senate GOP lawmakers. Last week, Huckabee joined several other Republican potential White House contenders at the Iowa Agriculture Summit in Des Moines.
