Former US President Donald Trump speaks as he attends a rally in Warren, Michigan, US, October 1, 2022. Trump took over half the votes, propelling him towards what looks set to be a close and deeply acrimonious election campaign against Biden, a Democrat, in November. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, 45, finished well behind Trump in second place in Iowa, edging out former U.N. Trump garnered 51%, DeSantis 21% and Haley 19%, with 99% of the expected vote tallied, according to Edison Research. Nearly two-thirds of Iowa caucus-goers embraced his false claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, saying they did not think Biden legitimately beat Trump.
