After Trump’s Iowa victory, let’s acknowledge there’s no GOP primary
The 2024 Iowa Caucus: Trump Dominates and Sets the Stage for the General Election
The 2024 Iowa caucus was over before it started.
Former President Donald Trump solidified his position as the leading Republican presidential candidate on Monday when he secured victories in every county in the Hawkeye State.
Not only did Trump break the 50 percent threshold among the grassroots voters who turned out despite an arctic blast, but he won big across all demographics.
Trump’s Victory Sends a Clear Message
How candidates fare during the Iowa caucuses is often used to gauge their chances of winning their party’s nomination. Trump’s landslide victory on Monday indicates there’s only one candidate Iowa voters, who were skeptical of President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, trust to take on the Democrat regime up for re-election in November.
Trump went into the first official ballot tally of the 2024 election cycle with a double-digit lead on his primary opponents, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley. Less than one hour into the state’s ballot collection, Fox News, the Associated Press, CNN, CBS, NBC, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and others confirmed by calling Iowa for the former president that his on-the-ground performance matched the polls.
Since he announced his candidacy in November 2022, Trump never once lost his lead in the Republican primary. Even when Haley and DeSantis’ popularity margins grew 5 points over the last six months, Trump’s did too.
“The basic structure of the race has remained unchanged,” the Washington Examiner’s Byron York noted in his Monday morning newsletter.
The only fluctuation polls ever measured when it came to Trump was after Democrats made indictments and lawfare the center of their campaign. What began as a strategy to scare voters away from the Republican turned out to be the very reason his grip on voters tightened.
Trump winning the majority in Iowa confirms he is best equipped to face off with Biden in the general election.
Trump understands this, which is why he sought to court general election voters with “moderate” positions on top issues like abortion, even though it elicited criticism from the pro-life people and groups who helped him win the 2016 primaries. It’s also why he was the only Republican presidential candidate to focus his campaign on the destruction of the deep state.
Biden and Democrats are guilty of weaponizing federal law enforcement, cheapening impeachment, fueling polarization, normalizing political violence and rioting, undermining election integrity, rejecting election results they don’t like, encouraging the collapse of our Southern border, and advancing extreme, unpopular agendas such as unlimited abortion, banning voter ID, colluding with Big Tech to censor Americans, targeting Jan. 6 protesters, and leading the political prosecution of their 2024 rival.
Trump’s call for accountability for these heinous actions resonates with voters, a majority of whom recognize the Biden regime’s definition of “justice” as a sham and want the Democrats’ allies at the FBI castigated for trading true accountability for partisanship.
Trump’s Victory Sets the Stage for the General Election
The question going into Iowa was never “Will Trump survive?” on a campaign diet of calling out Democrats’ political persecution. It was always “Who will get second place?”
Now that the Iowa numbers are in, it’s time for the other Republican candidates to put the whining, quibbling, and online trolling about Trump behind them and focus on pointing voters to winning the general election battle ahead. After all, the future of democracy depends on it.

The Path Forward
Trump’s victory in Iowa sets the stage for a fierce battle between him and Biden in the general election. The former president has already proven his ability to mobilize voters, maintain consistent support, and effectively communicate his message to the American people. His commanding win in Iowa demonstrates that he has the momentum and popularity necessary to mount a competitive campaign against Biden and the Democratic Party.
As the Republican nominee, Trump will have to bring together a diverse coalition of supporters, addressing the concerns and aspirations of different demographics within the party. His message of America First, economic prosperity, strong border security, and law and order resonates with a broad base of Republican voters, and he will need to articulate his policies and plans to continue delivering on these promises.
Furthermore, Trump must effectively counter the Democrats’ narrative and policies, highlighting their failures, inconsistencies, and radical agenda. He needs to make it clear to the American people that he is the candidate who will protect their freedoms, preserve the Constitution, and promote their interests.
With his dominant performance in the Iowa caucus, Trump has set the tone for the upcoming months leading to the general election. The road ahead will undoubtedly be filled with challenges, but Trump has shown time and time again that he is a resilient and determined leader who can overcome obstacles and emerge victorious.

His landslide victory demonstrates the unwavering support he enjoys among grassroots voters, who trust him to take on the Democrat regime in the upcoming general election. Trump’s ability to connect with diverse demographics and maintain consistent popularity sets him apart from his primary opponents, and his on-the-ground performance in Iowa confirms his strength as a candidate.
