Newsweek reports:

The Iowa caucus results show Trump has cemented himself among voters as the clear favorite in the GOP primary, with the former president having already secured key endorsements from Republican Senators.

Trump was the overall victor on Monday night in Iowa after getting 51 percent of the votes, with his 30-point margin over his nearest challenger Florida Governor Ron DeSantis emerging as a record for the state’s caucus.

Trump has long been considered the frontrunner in the GOP primary, with polls frequently suggesting he has double-digit leads in states across the country over his rivals.

Trump has also enjoyed crucial endorsements from Republican lawmakers and currently has more endorsements from GOP Senators than the rest of the primary field combined.

As noted by FiveThirtyEight’s endorsement tracker, Trump currently has the backing of 23 sitting U.S. Senators, including Ohio’s J.D. Vance, South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham, and Tennessee’s Marsha Blackburn.
