JERUSALEM, ISRAEL — Despite dangerous record low temperatures and mountains of snow, voting in the first presidential elections in the nation is now complete.

With 99% of the vote counted by 8:30 a.m. Israel time, here are the results of the all-important Iowa caucuses.

  • Donald J. Trump — 51% (56,210 votes)

  • Ron DeSantis — 21.2% (23,400)

  • Nikki Haley — 19.1% (21,076)

  • Vivek Ramaswamy — 8.6% (9,531)

COMMANDING VICTORY FOR TRUMP

Earning more than half the vote – a commanding 30-point victory – Trump won the caucuses by the biggest margin in history.

Previously, the largest margin was achieved in 1996 when then-Senator Bob Dole won by 12.8%.

Entrance polls showed that 53% of Iowa Evangelicals backed the former president, grateful for the huge policy victories he delivered in office, including the appointment of three conservative pro-life Justices to the Supreme Court, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a very close alliance with Israel, and moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

Trump is expected to walk away with 20 delegates.

DeSantis appeared to earn 8 delegates, while Haley won 7.

“I want to congratulate Ron and Nikki for having a good time together,” Trump said in a magnanimous victory speech at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines. “We don’t even know what the outcome of second place is.”

"I really think this is time now for everybody, our country, to come together," Trump added. 

"Whether it's Republican or Democrat, or liberal or conservative, it would be so nice if we could come together."
