Ron DeSantis accuses media of interfering in Iowa Caucuses for declaring Trump victory early

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' campaign is crying foul after national media declared victory for former President Donald Trump before the the Iowa Caucuses were even over.

The Associated Press and other major news outlets such as CNN, Fox News and MSNBC called the race for Trump barely 30 minutes after the caucuses began at 7 p.m. Only a handful of precincts had race results reported by that point.

The DeSantis campaign claimed the media was engaging in election interference, since not all caucuses had finished.

"It is absolutely outrageous that the media would participate in election interference by calling the race before tens of thousands of Iowans even had a chance to vote," communications director Andrew Romeo said. "The media is in the tank for Trump and this is the most egregious example yet."
