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.
