(NewsNation) — The first race of the 2024 presidential election cycle began Monday in Iowa as Republicans gathered at churches, schools and auditoriums around the state to declare their preference for their candidate for the GOP ticket.
Former President Donald Trump dominated the polls for weeks, though other candidates — former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson — spent the last weeks braving the cold to woo Republican voters in their favor.
NewsNation had live special coverage throughout the evening with a host of political experts on hand to help explain the process, trends and any surprises.
