Donald Trump won the Republican primary in Iowa on Monday evening, American media announced barely half an hour after the start of the vote. According to the CNN channel, the 77-year-old tycoon, four times criminally charged, leaves his main rivals Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantiseven if the results are still temporary.
This primary in Iowa is considered the most important, because this state is the first to vote: this primary therefore gives a priori the tone of the entire electoral process which extends until June, and for this, the candidates are concentrating all their campaign efforts in this small rural Midwestern state of barely three million inhabitants.
Trump’s lead is such that most analysts expect him to be nominated well before the end of the primaries, perhaps even before the ” Super Tuesday »: on this decisive day, March 5, 16 American states will vote on the same day.
