Implications of Trump’s victory in Iowa

Former US President Donald Trump’s landslide victory in the Republican primary elections in Iowa is a remarkable achievement, as he outperformed all of his competitors, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. This result appears to be contrary to what opinion polls showed, and this victory includes his superiority over the former ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley. This victory may make the “Democrats” wish that Trump had won a second presidential term, starting January 20, 2021, and avoided facing the nightmares of this year’s elections.

If President Trump had been re-elected for a second term, it would have been expected that the Democrats would have had a chance to win the current elections easily, as they would have exploited the mistakes of his previous administration and started their campaign by promising better services. But the current reality requires them to participate in a difficult electoral campaign against the king of MAGA, which is Trump’s campaign, during which he raises the slogan “Make America Great Again.” The important question here is: Who will be Mr. Trump’s replacement in the Republican primary cycle if he is not a candidate? The answer lies in the lack of any alternative, as Trump continues to maintain his great popularity among his supporters in the Republican Party.

Regardless of the media’s attempts to cast doubt on his popularity and success, he achieved a historic victory, overcoming the attacks and fabricated cases against him, and winning a state that had rejected him eight years earlier. Mr. Trump achieved a historic victory in Iowa, where he crossed the 50% mark. Other candidates, such as Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, were unable to reach a result close to Trump’s result.

As for Vivek Ramaswamy, he withdrew from the electoral race and declared his support for Trump, committed to defending him from unconstitutional attacks and undemocratic measures targeted by the partisan “Democrats”, who seek to imprison him or expel him from the elections before November. During the caucuses in the state of Iowa. Ms. Healy’s heavy spending on was of no use, as she finished in third place by a wide margin.

Despite this, her performance was boosted by “Democratic” voters who strategically changed their party registration to vote for her. This tactic is known as “chaos operation,” and is not uncommon in primaries, where voters change their party affiliation to ensure the weaker candidate wins the election to ensure their party wins. Next week, Democratic voters are expected to use a similar strategy in New Hampshire, reflecting their deep fear of facing Donald Trump in next November’s elections.

These fears are exacerbated by the serious mistakes committed by the current administration, at both the local and international levels, which are likely to make the race very competitive and challenging. In hindsight, some might argue that letting him win in 2020 might have been a more strategic move.
