Who won the Iowa Republican caucus in 2016?

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, his fiercest competitor, won the crowded Iowa contest, with 27.6% of the vote, to 24.3% for Trump and 23.1% for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

But Donald Trump’s close second-place finish and a strong third-place showing from Marco Rubio could leave the Republican presidential race just as muddled as it’s been for months — with three strong contenders for the party’s presidential nomination bunched together and likely to fight on, possibly to the GOP convention.

Trump, who may have lost support after skipping a GOP debate here last Thursday, received 24 percent of the vote, while Rubio grabbed 23 percent. A third-place finish could prove fatal to DeSantis’ prospects. Polls show the Florida governor far behind Trump and Haley in the more moderate state of New Hampshire, where Republicans will choose their nominee eight days from now.
