Former President Donald Trump secured a decisive win in the Iowa caucuses on Monday, signaling a likely preview of his performance in upcoming nominating contests.
Both CNN and the Associated Press declared Trump the winner just 30 minutes into the nominating process, even with less than one percent of the vote reported.
By 8:42 p.m., the New York Times’ election results indicated that the 45th president had obtained 64.5 percent of the vote, with a mere one percent reporting.
His lead over the closest contender, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), was approximately 40 percentage points, Breitbart News reported.
With such an early call in the contest, the question lingers about the extent of Trump’s victory, and if the polling trends and current results are indicative, he seems poised for a historically significant win.
If Trump surpasses a 12.8 percent margin of victory, he would reportedly achieve the largest margin ever recorded in a contested Republican Iowa primary.
