Primary wins can be deceptive. Trump's false victory EXPLAINED.

New for 2024 - EXPLAINED with Anthony Davis joins the FIVE MINUTE NEWS podcast channel.

Disgraced former President Donald Trump came first in the Iowa caucuses on Monday with his rivals languishing far behind, a victory that affirmed his grip on the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

In what was the lowest-turnout caucus in a quarter-century, participants endured life-threatening cold and dangerous driving conditions to meet in hundreds of schools, churches and community centers across the state. But those who ventured out delivered a roughly 30-point win for Trump that smashed the record for a contested Iowa Republican caucus with a margin of victory exceeding Bob Dole’s nearly 13-percentage-point victory in 1988.
