2024-01-17
The Republican caucus meeting was held in the Midwest state of Iowa on the 15th, marking the first primary of the 2024 US presidential election. According to the official website of the Republican Party in Iowa, former US President Trump won this primary with a clear advantage. What does this result mean? Who among Republicans can shake Trump? What are the highlights of the upcoming election? How is the election situation? Iowa is shrouded in severe cold, and the highest temperature in the state capital, Des Moines, was only minus 18 degrees Celsius on the 15th. The Republican caucus meeting was held on the evening of the same day and was described by American media as the "coldest" primary election in the state's history. According to the official website of the Iowa Republican Party, approximately 110000 people participated in the caucus meeting and voted for the party's presidential candidate they supported. Compared to the past, the attendance at this meeting was poor, and many voters did not go out due to the ice and snow weather. Despite being embroiled in lawsuits and being embroiled in eligibility disputes, Trump has a significant lead in pre election polls nationwide and in Iowa compared to his opponents within the party. Just over half an hour after the Iowa primary began, mainstream American media such as the Associated Press, CBS, and Fox News announced that Trump would win based on their calculations. Conservative media outlet Fox News reported that Trump easily won at a lightning fast pace in Iowa, giving him a "crucial preliminary victory" in his efforts to return to the White House. The American left-wing magazine "Mother Jones" satirizes Trump in its report title, stating that "a Florida man with 91 criminal charges won the Iowa primary.". Trump is registered to run for the presidency of the United States in Florida and is currently involved in four criminal cases, with up to 91 charges. Trump subsequently delivered a speech in Des Moines, expressing gratitude to Iowa voters and rarely calling for cross party unity in the United States, while also praising his party opponents. Jonathan Swann, a journalist for The New York Times, jokingly commented that given the current state of political polarization in the United States and Trump's role in demonizing the American left, his words were truly "absurd", but it undoubtedly reflected that Trump's victory that night had given him full confidence. Who can shake Trump's over 50% vote share in the Iowa Republican primary. After he secured the victory with an absolute advantage, the focus quickly shifted to who would take the second place. According to data from the official website of the Republican Party in Iowa, Florida Governor Ron de Santis received about 21% of the vote, trailing Trump by about 30 percentage points, ranking second. Former US Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, followed by De Santis by about 2 percentage points, ranking third. Indian entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy ranks fourth and has announced his withdrawal from the election. In his speech, De Santis thanked Iowa voters for helping him secure second place, while criticizing mainstream American media for quickly announcing Trump's victory. Haley said she will go to New Hampshire to prepare for the next Republican primary. In addition, she questioned the age of Trump and current US President and Democrat Biden, calling on voters to look forward and support the new generation of conservatives
