In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Putting That Trump Iowa Landslide In Perspective [View all]limbicnuminousity
(1,407 posts)18. Described it elsewhere as:
The 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucus was held on January 15, 2024. Weather conditions were such that an estimated 14% of registered Republican voters turned out to caucus.
