Donald Trump swept the Iowa caucuses, marking a significant first step toward his third consecutive GOP presidential nomination. On Monday, he made a fraudulent claim that he had won the Iowa Caucuses twice. Trump made a short speech to the media at Hotel Fort Des Moines, and Bloomberg’s Stephanie Lai captured Trump’s statements and put them on X.

Trump claimed, «We’re gonna have a great night and a fantastic place. We’ve won it twice as you know, two elections and I think we’re gonna have a tremendous night. The people are fantastic and I’ve never seen spirit like they have countrywide. But in Iowa, I’ve never seen spirit like this.» Although Trump prevailed in the 2020 Iowa caucuses as the incumbent president, he was defeated by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in a close contest in 2016. After losing the 2016 Iowa caucuses, Trump erroneously claimed that Cruz had ‘stolen’ the nomination and said that the opposition team had disseminated false material on purpose.
