Former President Donald Trump won the Iowa Republican caucuses, leaving his opponents far behind. Trump appears to have secured the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination with the win.
Trump Wins Iowa Caucuses, Setting Up GOP Dominance in 2024
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley are competing for second place. Iowa’s schools, churches, and community centers hosted caucus voters despite the expected low turnout due to harsh weather.
This win is the first step in Trump’s quest for a third GOP nomination. Trump is considering running against President Joe Biden in the next election despite Iowa’s spotty predictive power. Trump told applauding fans at the Horizon Events Center in Clive, Iowa, “He is destroying our country.” Biden’s team made massive fundraising efforts, showing readiness for a rematch while Trump navigates the primary.
Following early returns and AP VoteCast, a caucus-goer survey, the Associated Press pronounced Trump the winner. Trump initially led eight counties, demonstrating strength in urban, small-town, and rural populations, evangelical Christians, and non-college graduates. Despite his triumph, Trump struggles in suburban regions, where 40% supported him. Trump proposes to install a water deluge system at the launch pad, reconfigure stage separation, and replace hydraulic thrust vector controls with electrical engine steering.
