The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

Ambassador Nikki Haley at 19%, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy finishing fourth with 8%.

- The Wall Street Journal noted that “Donald Trump won the Iowa caucuses Monday night with the largest margin in the history of the first Republican presidential nominating contest.” You can read the full recap from John McCormick, Alex Leary, and Eliza Collins here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/iowa-caucus-2024-republican-primary-d55c152a
- Following the release of Monday’s Iowa caucus results, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy announced he was suspending his campaign. Ramaswamy finished fourth with roughly 8% of the vote and is now endorsing Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
- After learning he finished a distant second to Donald Trump in Monday’s Iowa caucus, Ron DeSantis told a crowd of supporters that “we’ve got our ticket punched out of Iowa”—calling the result a success as rivals “spent almost $50 million attacking” him and his campaign
