The former president celebrated a landslide victory in the Iowa caucuses Monday night, with the media calling the race half an hour after it began and Trump ultimately winning all but one state precinct, which Haley won by one vote.
A historic 51% of Iowans supported Trump’s third bid for the Republican presidential nomination, 21.2% supported DeSantis’ run and 19.1% voted for Haley.

“I want to congratulate Ron and Nikki for having such a great time together. We all had fun together,” he said, adding that each “did really well.”
“I think now is the time for everyone in our country to unite. We want to be united — whether Republican or Democrat or liberal or conservative,” he said.
“It would be great if we could come together and straighten out the world and straighten out the problems and straighten out all the death and destruction that we’re witnessing.”

Among US respondents to Sunday’s survey, 84% want their next president to “show fortitude,” the same percentage want the future commander-in-chief to “show empathy” and 83% want him to be “open to compromise.”
When those groups were polled separately, 59% of those who wanted a “tough” president supported Haley while 39% supported Biden. The two are tied for “empathy” voters and Haley has a two percentage point advantage with “compromise” voters.
The former South Carolina governor urged supporters in a post-caucus speech to rally around him as he seeks an upset victory against Trump in the New Hampshire primary on January 23, appealing to a majority of US voters who polls have shown do not want a 2020 re-run.

“Neither has a vision for the future of our country because both are consumed by the past, by investigations, by grudges, by grievances,” Haley said. “America deserves better.”
“And as we head to New Hampshire, I have one more thing to say: We’re going to win,” he added. “Underestimate me, because that’s always fun.”
With the departure of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Haley may be able to garner enough support to edge Trump in the Granite State, where she is within striking distance, according to recent polls.

Meanwhile, DeSantis will first travel to South Carolina to get out the vote before returning to New Hampshire for a scheduled CNN town hall.
Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy dropped out of the 2024 presidential race hours after the Iowa Caucuses, where he won just 7.7% of the vote.
“We didn’t achieve the shock that we wanted to deliver tonight,” the 38-year-old billionaire wannabe told supporters in Des Moines. “There’s no way I’m going to be the next president, there’s nothing we don’t want to see happen in this country.”
“This has to be an America First candidate in the White House. As I said from the beginning there are two America First candidates,” he added, before announcing his support for Trump.
The survey was conducted from January 10 to 12 with a nationally representative sample size of 2,870 US adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
