 Former President Donald Trump scored a decisive win in the Iowa caucuses on Monday with his rivals languishing far behind, a victory that sent a resounding message that the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination is his to lose to IT was not immediately clear who would emerge as the second-place finisher in the opening contest of the Republican nomination fight, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis or former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley de'Aoyen what was expected to be a low-turnout affair, caucus voters endured life. Threatening cold and dangerous driving conditions to meet in hundreds of schools, churches and community centers across the state. Now for everybody, our country to come together. I want to congratulate Ron and Nikki for having a good time together. We're all having a good time together. I think they both actually did very well. I really do. I think they both did very well. We don't even know what the outcome of second place is. I also want to congratulate Vivek because he did a hell of a job. He came from zero and he's got a big percent, probably eight percent, almost eight percent and that's an amazing job. They all did. They're all very smart, very smart people, very capable people. I think most importantly I want to thank my incredible wife, first lady, I'll say former and maybe future. But more important than Melania, I want to thank her incredible, beautiful mother who passed away a few days ago and she's up there, way up there, she's looking down and she's so proud of us and I just want to say to Amalia, you are special, one of the most special people I've ever known and that was a tough period of time for the family. But she, she's amazing, she was amazing. And I want to thank my family, generally they've worked so hard and they've taken so much abuse for being good people. I mean good people but Eric and Don, they really did, these two have been working so hard and they, you know they have another job also. So they have to do it all but they've been working so hard and I know that Ivanka is home and Tiffany's home, they're watching and I know that Baron's watching, good old Baron.
