Sad! Trump’s GOP primary challengers suffer embarrassing fail in Iowa caucuses

Published February 4, 2020 3:53am ET



The main focus on Monday night was the Democratic caucuses in Iowa, but there were actually also Republican caucuses as well. And President Trump won big.

Trump won a whopping 97% of the vote, and his two challengers, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh, got less than 1,000 votes combined (with 83% of precincts reporting at 10:50 p.m.). For those of us who are Trump-critical conservatives, this sad display just offers another reminder that Trump faces no actual serious primary challenge.
