• President Donald Trump's chances of reelection looked like they were in trouble at the beginning of the year.
• But a series of errors by Democrats, and the persistent strength of the US economy, has put the impetus behind the president as the presidential election gears up.
• On Monday the Iowa Democratic caucuses descended into chaos following the botched rollout of an app meant to communicate votes.
• Trump also used Tuesday night's State of the Union address to laud his economic achievements and dump on the Democrats.
• Trump is almost certain to be acquitted in the Senate impeachment trial later Wednesday, and will use the result to damage Democrats.
