The story so far: The 2024 election season kicked off formally with the Republican
Party’s Iowa caucuses last Monday, the results of which confirmed the popularity of
former U.S. President Donald Trump. Mr. Trump won the caucus with a wide margin
over rivals Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida, and Nikki Haley, former Governor of
South Carolina. The result indicates his overwhelming popularity within Republican
ranks, and a broad swathe of demographic cohorts, making him the likely favourite
for being the Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election and mounting a
challenge to the incumbent, Democratic President Joe Biden.

With a commanding 30 point-lead over his competitors, the 45th President garnered
20 delegates in Iowa, compared to Mr. DeSantis’ nine and Ms. Haley’s eight
delegates, respectively. A total of 1,215 delegates is required for a Republican
candidate in order to win the Party’s nomination.
