Donald Trump Wins Iowa Republican Primary: Analysis, Reactions, and What’s Next
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

Donald Trump won the Republican primary in Iowa on Monday evening, American media announced barely half an hour following the start of voting, consolidating his status as the big favorite of the right for the November presidential election.
According to CNN, the 77-year-old mogul, four times criminally charged, leaves his main rivals Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis far behind, even if the results are still temporary.
Despite the snowstorm that hit the Midwestern state and raised fears for participation, the ex-president is getting a little closer, even if long months still separate the country from the presidential election, a probable duel with Democrat Joe Biden.
Donald Trump, who according to the polls had one of the biggest leads ever seen over his opponents (nearly 50% of voting intentions), had predicted to his supporters a “tremendous” evening, assuring that he would win ” easily “.
By 7 p.m. local time, voters had gathered at schools, libraries and fire stations across Iowa for the famous “caucuses,” or election meetings.
After a prayer and a recitation of the traditional pledge of allegiance to the American flag, representatives gave a speech in favor of their champion before participants wrote their choice on a piece of paper.
“I’m here for Trump, absolutely,” said Kevin Yearington, a local election official.
“I’m tired of paying more for groceries and gas. Inflation is out of control here,” he added, complaining regarding the Biden administration.
This is the first time since the 2020 election that Donald Trump faced the judgment of voters.
This first moment of truth of the campaign weighs heavily: if the former president had not obtained the announced victory in Iowa, his image of invincibility risked being damaged for the rest of the race.
Starting next week, the highly orchestrated ballet of the primaries will take the candidates to New Hampshire, before, in turn, each of the 50 states votes until June.
In their sights, the national convention in July, which will officially nominate the Republican presidential candidate.
The race for second
Another big issue in this crucial vote: second place. For now, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis are fighting it out, according to media projections.
Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, the only woman in the race, has benefited from a recent rise in the polls.
The fifty-year-old is the new darling of the right, very appreciated in particular by business circles.
As for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a forty-year-old conservative with shocking positions on immigration or abortion, he has bet everything on Iowa, traveling in recent months to each of the 99 counties.
“I ask you to come out, brave the cold and support me during the Iowa caucus,” he told his supporters Monday morning.
Because a last minute unknown factor disrupted the equation: the cold.
The state has been hit by a snowstorm and the thermometer is expected to touch -30°C at the time of the vote, with icy roads.

Marc-André Fleury added a new page to the great book of his career by signing the 552nd victory of his career, Monday evening, during a 5-0 victory for the Minnesota Wild over the New York Islanders.

“I’m happy to have made it,” said Fleury with the broad smile that we know so well. “We can stop talking regarding it. It was time for me to win that one. I’m honored to be in Minnesota, in front of these fans. They were incredible tonight. »
For the occasion, Fleury made 21 saves to sign the 74th shutout victory of his career, which places him two shutouts behind Tony Esposito and Ed Belfour who share 10th place in history in this regard.

From the start, Fleury showed great intensity. After stopping his first shot of the match, the goalkeeper tried to attack Anders Lee when the latter came into contact with him following the whistle. Fleury tried to join the fray, but it was his teammates who took care to remind Lee not to get too close to the 39-year-old veteran.
Fleury also had the help of his most faithful accomplices, his posts. Twice Fleury was thwarted by shots from Bo Horvat and Cal Clutterbuck, and on each occasion he took the time to thank his crossbar with a little caress.
“This is a special moment for me and my family. It’s an honor to do it here and with my teammates in the room,” added the hero of the evening.
The Wild will host a special evening in Fleury’s honor to mark his 552 wins and 1,000 games when his former team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, visit on February 7.
Fleury became the fourth goalkeeper in history to reach the milestone of 1,000 games played, following Brodeur (1,266), Roberto Luongo (1,044) and Roy (1,029), on December 31.
Fleury has a record of 552-324-92, a goals- once morest average of 2.59 and an efficiency coefficient of .912 in 1,007 regular season games.
The first overall pick in the 2003 draft won the Stanley Cup three times (2009, 2016, 2017) in a Pittsburgh Penguins uniform and once the Vezina Trophy in 2021.
Joel Eriksson Ek scored two special teams goals to help the Wild end a four-game losing streak. Mats Zuccarello had a goal and an assist. Connor Dewar and Marcus Foligno were the other scorers.
Ilya Sorokin blocked 29 shots in 40 minutes of play for the Islanders. He was starting an 11th consecutive game, a personal mark since his NHL debut.
With a three-goal deficit and a second game in as many days, Tuesday once morest the Jets in Winnipeg, the Islanders sent Kenneth Appleby into the fray in the third period.
In his first appearance in an NHL game in almost six years, Appleby surrendered twice on eight shots.
An incredible feat ???? a legend of the game
Congratulations Le Fleur ????#mnwild pic.twitter.com/YxPyuCp361

The channel’s new proposal will compete directly for ratings with ‘El Gran Chef Famosos’, the cooking reality show that conquered the audience in 2023 and directed by Sebastián Martins, the singer’s partner.
The former member of Agua Bella was excited at the series’ press conference to return to television following several years. Later, in a conversation with the Peruvian media, she spoke regarding this rivalry that she will have with the father of her daughter.
In a conversation with a local newspaper, the cumbia performer expressed her excitement and gratitude for the professional challenge she is taking on and said she is not worried regarding the competition with her life partner.

In the interview, they made it clear that they support each other and celebrate each other’s success. She expressed her admiration for the achievements of Sebastián Martins, while he does the same for the opportunity that his girlfriend is giving herself.
“Before he was (producer) on ‘Yo soy’ and ‘La Voz’, and he is a very methodical person, who I admire, very intelligent, very assertive and prepared. I have learned a lot from him and life puts us in a unique situation, and we see it with a smile. I feel his success is mine and vice versa, as well as the things that may affect us,” said the singer.
He denied that this affects their relationship and coexistence. “We have made a nice team, we work on our family, we work on our daughter, on celebrating each one independently of the things we like to do, and I think it is a very funny anecdote,” he added to Trome.
