Quick Glance: Trump's Victory in Iowa
- Donald Trump has achieved an overwhelming victory in the first US election contest of 2024, easily fending off a reduced field of Republicans in the Iowa caucuses.
- With an estimated 99% of the votes counted, Trump was at 51%, DeSantis at 21.2%, and Haley at 19.1%.
- The former president has shattered the previous record for the largest margin of victory in a contested Republican presidential race in the state, which stood at 12 percentage points.
- An early estimate indicates that 100,000 Republicans participated in the caucuses on Monday, significantly lower than the turnout in 2016, according to Iowa Republican party chairman Jeff Kaufmann.

Quick Glance: Senate Passes Legislation to Prevent Government Shutdown
- The Senate approved a bill on Wednesday to extend funding for federal agencies and sent the legislation to prevent a government shutdown to President Biden, just days before the weekend deadline.
- The bill, passed by a vote of 87-11, signifies a significant de-escalation between congressional Democrats and the new House Speaker, Mike Johnson (R-La.).
- Without the new spending measure, referred to as a continuing resolution or CR, the government would have closed shortly after midnight on Saturday, compelling federal employees - including military personnel and airport security officers - to work without pay or go on furlough on the eve of Thanksgiving.
- These concessions were sufficient to secure easy bipartisan support in the Senate, which is much less concerned with spending debates.

Quick Glance: Excitement over a Coronavirus Drug that Provides Help
- Most Republican candidates would still support Donald Trump as their nominee, even if he is convicted in a series of court cases.
- These individuals are willing to overlook the atrocities Trump has been charged with in order to continue their support for the notorious liar.
- After two impeachments, four grand jury indictments, hundreds of federal convictions related to the January 6 Capitol attack, and dozens of Trump associates facing federal charges, it is time for Americans in denial to wake up and denounce him as unfit for public office and a danger to America.
- Anyone who has the power to make you believe atrocities has the power to make you commit injustices. (Voltaire)
