UPDATE 9:02 p.m. ET:
Trump-world is ecstatic right now in celebrating the former president’s historic victory.
“The people of Iowa sent a clear message tonight: Donald Trump will be the next Republican nominee for President,” Alex Pfeiffer, the communications director of the pro-Trump Super PAC MAGA Inc., said, for instance. “It’s now time to make him the next President of the United States. Joe Biden’s team just announced a massive war chest. Every dollar spent by President Trump’s primary losers is a dollar that could be fighting Joe Biden. Once the DC RINOs are finished crying in their cocktails over tonight’s results, it’s time for Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, and Vivek Ramaswamy to face reality and stop wasting time and resources.”
