Former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump dominated the GOP field Monday night, as Iowans made it loud and clear they want to send the former POTUS back to the White House.
From Fox News:
The Fox News Decision Desk made call for the former president at 8:31pm ET, a half an hour after the caucuses got underway across the Hawkeye State.
Trump made history last year as the first former or current president to be indicted for a crime, but his four indictments, including charges he tried to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss, have only fueled his support among Republican voters.
Trump was optimistic early in the day.
“I don’t know about the total number of votes because, you know, it is a little cold out there, but not really, and remember, everybody is indoors,” Trump said during an interview with Jeff Stein on News/Talk 1540, an eastern Iowa radio station. “So you’re not standing outside. So I think it’s going to be very close to record-setting, maybe even record-setting.”
