As reported by Breitbart:

Former President Donald Trump now owns the record for the largest margin of victory in the history of contested Iowa Republican caucuses, more than doubling the previous mark.

Citing the Trump campaign, Reuters reported Friday that late Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-KS) previously held the record in contested Republican Iowa caucuses at 12.8 percent.

As of 11:35 p.m. ET, the New York Times reported Trump had garnered 51 percent of the vote, with 95 percent reporting. He sat 29.7 points ahead of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) at 21.3 percent as of this writing. The mammoth margin, which will change slightly one way or another as the last five percent of the vote is tabulated, shatters Dole’s record by roughly 17 points as things currently stand. 

What is more, Trump appears to have garnered the highest vote share in Iowa Republican caucus history. Former President George Bush had performed the best of any Republican candidate going back to 1972 with 41 percent, data from the Des Moines Public Library shows.

Below is a breakdown of the top two performing Republicans in every Iowa caucus going back to Dole’s record-setting year in 1988, according to the library.

As Trump celebrated his extraordinary achievement, another significant development took place in Iowa. Vivek Ramaswamy, who had been generating momentum and support in the race, made the decision to suspend his campaign. In an announcement at a rally in Iowa, Ramaswamy conveyed his gratitude to his passionate supporters and explained his rationale behind stepping back from the presidential race.

While Ramaswamy’s departure from the race surprised many, his endorsement of Trump serves as a testament to the enduring appeal and influence of the former president within the conservative movement. This development has the potential to bolster Trump’s campaign, as it consolidates support from another prominent figure in conservative circles.
