Donald Trump wins landslide victory in Iowa Caucuses, solidifying frontrunner status in Republican race 트럼프, 美공화 첫 경선 아이오와 압승 재선 대장정 일단 순항 Over in the U.S. Former President Donald Trump won a landslide victory in the first 2024 Republican presidential contest in Iowa, solidifying his status as the party’s standard-bearer. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis finished in second place. Bae Eun-ji has the details. Former U.S. president Donald Trump scored a decisive win in the Iowa caucuses on Monday, solidifying his firm status as the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. Trump secured more than half the votes, with about 51 percent. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis finished second with 21 percent, with former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley closely behind with 19 percent. “And they said, well, if you win by 12 percent, that’s a big win. That’s going to be very hard to do. Well, I think we’ve more than doubled that. I guess a triple that maybe.“ Monday’s win does not guarantee Trump the party’s nomination, but it does give him a strong start in the race. Also, because Iowa is the first contest, Iowa caucuses have historically played an important role in narrowing the presidential field. And the results are seen as having a big influence on media coverage and public perception. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who finished in second place, thanked supporters for backing him. “Because of your support, in spite of all that they threw at us, everyone against us, we’ve got our ticket punched out of Iowa.“ For DeSantis, the focus is now on the primary race in New Hampshire on January 23rd. Meanwhile, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, dropped out of the presidential race, after finishing fourth in Iowa on Monday. He then formally endorsed Donald Trump, as public opinion surveys show that his supporters have the former president as their second choice. Democrats will kick off their first official primary on February 3rd in South Carolina, with President Joe Biden seeking to run for re-election. The U.S. presidential election is set for November 5th.
