Des Moines, Iowa – Donald Trump decisively won the Iowa caucuses on Monday (Jan. 15) with his closest rivals languishing far behind, a crucial victory that reinforces the former president’s grip on his party at the outset of the GOP’s 2024 nomination fight.

 

It was not immediately clear who would emerge as the second-place finisher, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis or former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. Caucus voters endured life-threatening cold and dangerous driving conditions to participate in meetings that unfolded in hundreds of schools, churches and community centres across the state.

 

The results are just the first in what will be a months-long effort for Trump to secure the GOP nomination a third consecutive time. But the victory sends an unmistakable message to the Republican Party and crystallises the challenge facing his GOP opponents.

Trump passes major US election test with easy win in Iowa

Donald Trump romped to a lightning-quick victory Monday in Iowa’s caucuses — the first vote in the US presidential race — cementing his status as the presumptive Republican standard-bearer to challenge President Joe Biden in November’s election.


The former president has led polling for more than a year, but the contest was seen as the clearest insight yet into whether he can convert his advantage into a stunning White House return.


Major US networks took just 30 minutes to project the winner, with Trump opening up an unprecedented 32-point lead over second-placed Ron DeSantis over the following hour or so.


The Florida governor and Trump’s other main rival — former UN ambassador Nikki Haley — appeared to be locked in a tussle for the runner-up spot at around 20 and 19 percent respectively.

I'm not one of those people who believe that nationality trumps knowledge. But for whatever reason, you clearly haven't been following the evolution of Trump's support.

 

Not following you

 

Is the evolution of Trumps support different from the evolution of Bidens support ?

 

How did this happen ?

  • Donald Trump scored a landslide victory to kick off the Republican primary
  • He lost the Iowa caucus in 2016 - but significantly reversed that result last night by winning over key voting blocs in the state, including white evangelicals, younger voters and women

 

What evolutionary change happened between last night and 2016 ?

These people are the end of it all. This is what national collapse looks like.
