"Iowa Caucuses: Trump's Victory and the Battle for Second Place"

Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis are competing for second place in the Iowa Republican caucuses, with both aiming to emerge as the main alternative to former President Donald Trump, who is projected to win a majority of the delegates. Trump's victory reinforces his hold on the party, despite facing legal challenges. DeSantis has focused on Iowa, while Haley is targeting New Hampshire. Trump's lead in the polls is significant, but a CBS News poll shows Haley leading in a hypothetical general election matchup against President Biden.
