Biden Admits Iowa Victory Makes Trump Republicans’ ‘Clear Front Runner’
Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point.
But here’s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it’ll be true tomorrow.
So if you’re with us, chip…

His remarks come as Trump earned his widely-expected win Monday in the Iowa caucuses — the first vote in the US presidential race of 2024. American media including CBS and CNN forecast the result in Trump’s favor over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, although his win margin was not yet completely clear.
Bundled up Iowa inhabitants had shuffled into more than 1,600 voting sports which opened at 7:00 pm, launching a blockbuster evening seen as a test of Trump’s pledge to ride a year of huge polling leads to a fabulous White House reappearance.

Iowa accounts for less than 2 percent of the delegates awarded across the US in the process to pick a party flagbearer, so a big night by no means pledges triumph in the rest of the nominating season.
But a huge display is essential for candidates hoping for a foundation to New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, and onwards to the office of the US President.
