WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has won the Republican primary race in the Iowa Caucus, Sputnik news agency reported, based on the results from the state’s party office.
Trump won 97 per cent (29,761) of votes cast on Monday night against his Republican challengers Joe Walsh and William Weld.
The Iowa Republican Party said in a statement via Twitter that Trump broke turnout records for an incumbent president.
Meanwhile, results of the Democratic primary race in the Iowa caucus are being delayed due to “quality checks,” Iowa Democratic Party spokesperson Mandy McClure said in a statement. She also said the delay was not due to a hack or intrusion.
