Who Won the Iowa Caucus?

 My VIP for this week is former President Donald J. Trump. The Associated Press called the Iowa caucus in favor of Trump even though all votes were not yet counted. According to The New York Times, the current results as follows: 

Candidate                                            Votes                        Percentage                 Delegates

Donald J. Trump                                 56,260                         51.0%                          20

Ron DeSantis                                      23,420                         21.2%                            8

Nikki Haley                                         21,085                         19.1%                            7

Vivek Ramaswamy                               8,449                           7.7%                            3

Ryan Binkley                                           774                           0.7%                            0

Asa Hutchinson                                        191                           0.2%                            0

Chris Christie                                             35                         <0.1%                            0

Other                                                          84                           0.1%                            0

Total reported                                    110,298                       100.0%                          38

 The results indicate that both Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley will remain in the race. However, they bring questions about the 35 people who voted for Christ Christie after he suspended his candidacy and the 84 people who voted for “other.”

The race is on – and hopefully will soon be over! Trump received more than half the votes. Some liberals looked at the results differently – 49% of Republicans voted against Trump. However, they should not gloat because those who did not vote for Trump still voted for a Republican.
