Donald Trump Wins Iowa GOP Presidential Caucuses

Donald Trump won the Iowa caucuses Monday night with what was expected to be the largest margin in the history of the first Republican presidential nominating contest. As expected, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are fighting it out for second place as the results come in.

Here is what to know:

The results: The votes are still being tabulated, but the former president's victory shows his political resilience despite legal woes and false claims the 2020 election was stolen from him.

Donald Trump: The front-runner pushed his supporters to turn out, despite the cold, to secure a big win. One thing to watch when the final numbers are tallied: his margin of victory.

Nikki Haley: An Iowa Poll showed the former U.N. ambassador had moved into second place, and her last-minute pitches to Iowa voters aimed to capitalize on that momentum.

Ron DeSantis: The Florida governor had made Iowa his focus, positioning himself as the underdog during an extensive ground game he had hoped would boost his chances.
