Trump wins Iowa caucus
According to the Associated Press, former President Donald Trump was handed a victory by Iowa Republicans as he won the Iowa caucuses on Monday and is now poised for a comeback.
Trump’s die-hard supporters turned out Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, on a bitterly cold night that Iowa officials described as some of the worst weather for a caucus in half a century, the AP noted.
The former president who was beaten by President Joe Biden in the 2020 elections that led to him facing four criminal cases involving allegations of multiple felonies, is now on track for another shot at the White House.
The Hill reported Trump entered the Hawkeye State’s caucuses with a double-digit lead in polling averages over his closest challenger, as observers noted the former president appeared to be gaining strength in the state and pulling support from evangelical Iowans. “We’re going to win the Iowa caucuses and then we’re going to crush crooked Joe Biden next November,” Trump told Iowans at a rally last month, weeks out from the caucuses.
