CBS News projects former President Donald Trump will win the Iowa caucuses.
According to early interviews conducted with voters heading into the Iowa caucuses, immigration is what's most motivating Iowa Republicans to the caucuses, followed by the economy. GOP voters said they also want someone who shares their values — and Trump's legal woes are not a problem for most.
Just 40 delegates — out of over 2,400 nationwide — are at stake in the Iowa caucuses on Monday night, but it will be the first measure of how the Republican field stacks up in the 2024 primary season.
Iowa caucus results 2024
Trump won the Iowa Republican caucuses with strong support from White evangelicals and very conservative voters — key voting blocs in these caucuses — and groups he lost in 2016 when voters were less convinced of his conservative credentials, according interviews with caucus-goers as they went in.
Trump's support was widespread: he won men, women, older voters and younger voters, and improving on his 2016 performance with all of these groups.
Most Iowa caucus goers largely dismissed Trump's legal woes with most saying he would still be fit for the presidency even if he were convicted of a crime.
The issue of immigration helped boost Trump, he overwhelmingly won those who picked it as their top issue.
Follow along for live updates of caucus night.

Again, how do you call anything with 4 or 5% in?
Just curious.
They need 5 reporterettes to report the obvious?
Minimal name calling in that brief article—I am sure the Ministry of Propaganda will get around to fixing that.
I have some time—let me take a stab at it:
“The white racist hate groups dominated the Republican caucus results in Iowa tonight as Republicans refused to listen to the amazing Nikki Haley’s call for reason and unity....”
Lol.
They are scattered all across Iowa in heavy precincts.............
Need to add “extremist” in there somewhere. That’s Joe favorite word.
And what about muzzlime voters?
News?
NOT news.
Just give us the numbers when it is over.
Entrance polls..................
Good point—that is why those AP articles have more than one propaganda writer.
;-)
Nikki Haley came in 3rd. Maybe SHE should drop out.
So glad the nomination process has finally gotten underway for real.
It is still early to call second and third place—neck and neck for designated loser.
;-)
She has to stay in until South Carolina.
If she loses her home state she’s toast..................
I doubt there were enough to be statistically significant..................
What a cluster. We went to our site only to be told it was at another location & it happened to a sh!t load of people. One guys location was moved to a different city 6 miles away! One guy that was in line was a Democrat who registered as a Republican so he could caucus.
>> They are scattered all across Iowa in heavy precincts...
Why would they focus on precincts with fat voters? Man, this caucus thing is confusing!
Amazing how all the MSN reports the same thing.
