President Trump secured a resounding win in the first 2024 Republican presidential contest in Iowa on Monday.

He asserted his command over the party despite being subjected to endless attacks from the election-interfering communist/globalist elitist cabal who have been unable to off-balance him as he seeks an election rematch with any one of the election-cheating radical Leftist candidates.

Trump took over half the votes, propelling him toward what may likely be a deeply acrimonious election campaign against the Deep State-handpicked communist/globalist candidate in November.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, 45, finished well behind Trump in second place in Iowa, edging out former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, 51, as they both failed to emerge as the chief opponent.

Trump, 77, won by an unprecedented margin for an Iowa Republican contest, strengthening his case that his nomination is a foregone conclusion given his massive lead in national polls.

According to Edison Research:

Trump garnered 51%, DeSantis 21%, and Haley 19%, with 99% of the expected vote tallied.

The victory margin far surpassed the previous record of 12.8 percentage points for Bob Dole in 1988.

Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social:

THANK YOU IOWA, I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Obviously, Trump intends to fast-track the normally months-long Republican selection process with a series of convincing early primary wins to force out his rivals.

Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy ended his long-shot presidential bid after winning just under 8% of the vote on Monday, and he endorsed Trump.

The candidates immediately move on to New Hampshire on Tuesday. The state’s more moderate Republicans will choose their nominee next Tuesday and polls show Trump with a smaller lead over Haley there, and DeSantis far behind.

Trump’s performance in Iowa showed his enduring popularity among Republican voters despite efforts of the communist/globalist elitist cabal to accuse him of causing the Jan. 6, 2021, entrapment and killing by the U.S. Capitol police and undercover federal forces of his supporters.

He has since been accused of miscellaneous trumped-up (pun intended) criminal charges involving his challenge of the stolen 2020 election, his business activities, and accusations of his improperly retaining classified documents after leaving the White House—even Joe Biden has improperly retained and improperly stored documents going as far back as his time as a U.S. Senator without any accusation of wrongdoing or criminal charges.

In fact, each new false accusation against Trump has boosted his support and popularity as he protests his innocence and speaks the obvious—that he is the victim of a “witch hunt.”

Nearly two-thirds of Iowa caucus-goers embraced his proof about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, saying they are confident given all the proof that Biden did not legitimately beat Trump.

More than 60% said Trump would still be fit to serve as president even if convicted of a crime.

Trump dominated across the board, according to an Edison entrance poll:

He won a majority among men and among women; among those who consider themselves very conservative, somewhat conservative, and independent; among those who graduated college and those who did not.

He captured a majority of Republicans who put immigration as their top concern—and a majority of those who said the economy was their main worry.

Jimmy Centers, an Iowa-based Republican strategist, said:

Absent a quick consolidation of the field, Trump appears to be on a fast track to the nomination.

Still, both DeSantis and Haley vowed to press ahead.

DeSantis, who had staked a lot on a strong performance in the state, told supporters in West Des Moines on Monday:

We’ve got our ticket punched out of Iowa!

Haley said on Monday night:

When you look at how we’re doing, in New Hampshire, in South Carolina and beyond, I can safely say tonight Iowa made this Republican primary a two-person race.

Trump has aimed to create an air of inevitability around his campaign, skipping all five of the Republican debates thus far and largely eschewing the county-by-county politicking that most candidates do ahead of the Iowa vote.

Rita Stone, 53, a Trump backer, who attended a caucus at a West Des Moines high school said her leading concern was:

[T]he U.S. southern border with Mexico,

praising Trump’s effort to build a wall when [as] president.

Iowans braved life-threatening temperatures to gather at schools, community centers, and other sites for the state’s first-in-the-nation caucus, as the 2024 presidential campaign officially got under way after months of debates and rallies.

Unlike a regular election, Iowa’s caucus requires voters to gather in person in small groups, where they cast secret ballots after speeches from campaign representatives.

Edison Research projected there would be approximately 111,000 votes counted, far short of the record 187,000 cast in the 2016 Republican caucus.

Iowa has historically played an outsized role in presidential campaigns due to its early spot on the campaign calendar.
