Trump Wins Iowa Caucus, Haley and DeSantis Battle for Second

Despite Legal Troubles, Majority of Iowa Voters Stand by Trump

Former President Donald Trump wins the Iowa caucus, cementing his status as the clear Republican frontrunner in the race.
Trump's victory was declared sooner than expected, about 30 minutes after caucuses opened, before some caucus sites even had a chance to begin voting.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are locked in a battle for second place, with both vying to emerge as the main alternative to Trump.
Entrance polls suggest a majority of Iowa voters identify with the MAGA movement, and two-thirds do not believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was legitimate.
Despite Trump's legal troubles, with him facing charges in four criminal cases, most Iowa Republican voters dismiss these issues, with 63% saying they'd consider Trump fit for office despite a hypothetical conviction.
