Weekly News Highlights

Former President Donald Trump won the Iowa caucuses on Monday, solidifying his place as the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination as he attempts a historic comeback nearly three years after leaving the White House.

Trump’s victory in his first election since losing to Joe Biden in 2020 has put to bed any lingering questions about his hold over the GOP and whether his legal troubles would hobble him with primary voters.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis finished second in Iowa, ahead of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. As the GOP field continues to narrow and Trump reasserts his dominance among conservatives, DeSantis and Haley are now facing added pressure to prove they have a viable path to the nomination.
