Trump wins Iowa caucus; faces anonymous jury in court

Donald Trump won Iowa’s Republican caucus with around 50% of the vote, triumphing in all but one county. (As of Tuesday morning local time Nikki Haley is leading Johnson County, home of the University of Iowa.) Ron DeSantis narrowly beat Ms Haley for second place, winning 21% of the votes compared to her 19%; neither could point to a surge of momentum. Mr Trump, magnanimous in victory, said it was “time now for everybody, our country, to come together”. Mr DeSantis criticised news outlets for calling the result “before people even got a chance to vote”.
