Over the course of a few months, former President Donald Trump has notched victories in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada during the first contests of the 2024 presidential nominating calendar.
“We want to thank the great people of Iowa,” he said in a victory speech at the caucus in Des Moines. The former president received 51% of the vote and won the majority of votes on caucus night.
Following his victory in New Hampshire, Trump told Fox News' Brooke Singman, “I'm very humbled by the outcome.”

“This is America's time to choose,” DeSantis said in a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter. “We can choose to allow a border invasion, or we can choose to stop it.

After suspending his own presidential campaign last month, DeSantis added: “It's clear to me that the majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance.”
“While I have had disagreements with Donald Trump, such as over the coronavirus pandemic and his raising of [Dr.] Anthony Fauci, Trump is superior to the current incumbent, Joe Biden. That's clear,” DeSantis continued. “I signed a pledge to support the Republican candidate and I will honor that pledge. “You have my support because we cannot return to the old Republican guard of yesteryear.”
