Trump Wins Iowa Caucus In Landslide
Daily Caller ^ | January 15, 2024 8:41 PM ET | KATE ANDERSON

Former President Donald Trump won the first GOP presidential voting contest of 2024 in Iowa on Monday by a wide margin, according to multiple reports.

Despite historically harsh weather conditions, Iowans turned out for Trump, putting him one step closer to the GOP nomination in the 2024 presidential election, according to multiple outlets. Trump is standing at 55% in the polls with former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley at 18.5% and Gov. Ron DeSantis at 17.9%, according to The Associated Press.

The victory came despite popular Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds endorsing DeSantis in November, arguing that she didn’t believe the former president could win a general election against President Joe Biden.

A recent poll revealed that 61% of Iowans said that their support would not change if Trump was convicted in any of his trials, and 20% said their support for the former president would increase if Trump was convicted.

Trump did not hold as many events as his fellow candidates, holding only 13 events since November, according to NBC News.

DeSantis and Ramaswamy have both completed the “full Grassley” of Iowa’s 99 counties named after Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, who makes the trip every year.

Trump is currently polling at an average of 61% nationally and nearly 44% on average in the next primary battle in New Hampshire, according to RealClearPolitics. Trump also revealed Wednesday during a town hall on FOX News that he has picked his vice presidential running mate, but his campaign walked the comments back, saying that the matter hasn’t been discussed in “any great detail,” according to ABC News.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

How much did the preacher Vandersplat haul in?

Ron DeSantis campaign paid $95000 to that cornfield-Jesse-Jackson. Every presidential election, that grifter scams a Republican candidate. BTW, he's not a preacher but an ex-high school economics teacher.

“DeSantis bragged about 30,000 caucus pledges, when the total vote count will be around 200,000.”

15%, pretty close to the final.

The problem is that Trump got the vast majority of the remaining 85% of the pledges. Perhaps DeSantis didn’t consider that factor?

Anyone remember 2004 when exit polls were very corrupted ?

Don’t read too much into this, it’s only Republicans. Democrats aren’t’ allowed in..............

Make no mistake, the dems are in the mix, trying to pollute the results. I saw a video from one of the caucuses with an obvious lesbian sporting a Mohawk and a Nikki Haley T-shirt.

Ol Vander Pants got the better end of the deal.

I guess Jill DeSantis asking non-Iowans to help did not work either.

This proves Trump is an ecological disaster. This is a landslide and we know landslides are part of Climate Change.
