00:00 Former President Donald Trump has made a strong, decisive start in the race for the 2024 Republican
00:07 presidential nomination. Projections had him easily taking Iowa, leaving his closest rivals
00:12 far behind. A clear victory is crucial as Trump reinforces his grip on his party at
00:18 the outset of the GOP's nomination fight. Rivals, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and
00:24 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis were left competing for second place. The pair knew Iowa would
00:30 not be a successful canvassing ground. New Hampshire, the next state, has far more independent
00:36 voters. Despite bone-chilling weather, the public endured the life-threatening cold and
00:41 dangerous driving conditions to participate in meetings that unfolded in hundreds of schools,
00:46 churches and community centers across the state. But the message of the night has been
00:50 unmistakable. Trump's nomination to become the Republican Party's presidential candidate
00:55 for a third consecutive time is his to lose.
