Former President Donald Trump has been projected to win the Iowa caucus tonight. Trump finished with 51% of the vote with 99% precincts having reported and capturing 20 of the 40 delegates.
A win in Iowa and collecting over half the vote against Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and others will almost certainly solidify Trump’s standing heading into New Hampshire and make it so Trump continues as the prohibitive favorite to capture the Republican nomination for a rematch against radically pro-abortion president Joe Biden.
Just 30 minutes after the caucus vote started, most media outlets had declared Trump the winner — no shock given that he had a large margin in most every poll leading up tonight’s vote. The only questions outstanding in the Hawkeye State are whether or not Trump will hold on to the margin over 50 percent and whether DeSantis or Haley will finish as the runner up. DeSantis ultimately took second place with a showing of 21% to 19% of Haley.
“The people of Iowa sent a clear message tonight: Donald Trump will be the next Republican nominee for President. It’s now time to make him the next President of the United States,” said Alex Pfeiffer, communications director for Make America Great Again Inc.
If the race winds up as Trump versus Biden, it will be a stark contrast on abortion.
In recent comments, Trump said Democrats are the real radicals on abortion because they support abortions up to birth.
“And remember this, they are the radicals. We are not the radicals. Because they will kill a baby,” Trump said.
“But, in the debate with Hilary Clinton, I said, you know, she is willing to rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month. And you know, I never heard this — it happened to me. It just came to me during that debate. I didn’t go up there thinking I was going to say that. And she even winced. Nobody wants to see that happening after a certain period of time, nobody. They are the radicals because they are willing to kill the baby in eight months, nine months, or even after birth,” he explained.
“If you remember, the former governor of Virginia where he said, you kill the baby after the ninth month or even after you’ve set the baby aside and you have a conversation with the mother. And if the conversation, can you image — but these are the radicals. We are not the radicals. We are not the radicals. But we are living in a time when there has to be a little bit of a concession, one way or another,” he added.
What is Joe Biden’s priority if he is re-elected to a second term as president?

It’s not improving the beleaguered economy, putting a clamp on runaway inflation, improving education or securing the border. No, Biden’s main priority is making sure more babies are killed in abortions.
“First of all: Roe,” Biden’s deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks said Sunday during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Roe means desperately attempting to codify the infamous Supreme Court decision that resulted in killing more than 64 million babies killed in abortions before the Supreme Court finally overturned the poorly-reasoned case in June 2022.
“The president has been adamant that we need to restore Roe. It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago,” Fulks said.
The statement is absurd on its face, because Roe and abortion themselves deprive women of their rights by erasing the right to life. And girls (and boys) killed in abortions lose that fundamental right under abortion and subsequently can’t enjoy any other right or freedom throughout their entire lives because their very lives have been erased.
However, Biden compares abortion to health care.
“No woman should be forced to go to court or flee her home state just to receive the health care she needs,” Biden said of the case. “But that is exactly what happened in Texas thanks to Republican elected officials, and it is simply outrageous. This should never happen in America, period.”
Yet courts have made it clear that abortion is not legitimate health care and that Biden can’t force emergency rooms and ER doctors to kill babies in abortions when they are focused on providing legitimate emergency medical care for pregnant women.
As LifeNews reported, the Supreme Court has ruled that Joe Biden can’t force Idaho to turn its emergency rooms into abortion centers – for now while the case continues. The decision follows on a federal appeals court ruling this week stopping Biden from doing the same thing in Texas.
