Donald Trump wins Iowa caucuses in overwhelming victory

Donald Trump has been declared the clear winner of the Iowa caucuses, the first-in-the-nation vote to decide the Republican nominee for president. The result went resoundingly in the former president’s favour – winning every county in the state and just over 50 per cent of the vote. However, he's been denied a clean sweep of Iowa's 99 counties by one vote. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has claimed second place, giving his campaign an edge over Former UN ambassador Nikki Haley. The turnout in Iowa was down on previous years due to extreme weather.
