Jérôme Viala-Gaudefroy, lecturer at Sciences Po Saint-Germain-en-Laye and specialist in the United States, reacts on the set of 12/13 info, Tuesday January 16, to Donald Trump’s overwhelming victory in Iowa during the Republican primary.
With 51% of the vote, Donald Trump crushed his opponents during the Republican primaries in Iowa (United States), Monday January 15. “This is what was somewhat expected. (…) Moreover, this is the first time in the entire history of primaries that there is a candidate who in Iowa has more than 50%”underlines Jérôme Viala-Gaudefroy, lecturer at Sciences Po Saint-Germain-en-Laye and specialist in the United States, guest of 12/13 info Tuesday January 16.
No challengers for Donald Trump
No real momentum for the challengers, then. “Ron DeSantis was first, by very, very little. (…) For the second place, Nikki Haley didn’t really perform very well, but she is still in the game. The question will still be for the rest, which is going to be really second, but that won’t change anything in the final result.”.
Donald Trump retains his status as favorite, and should face Joe Biden. “We also have non-competitive primaries on the Democratic side, we know that it is going to be Joe Biden. Indeed, we are preparing for this duel between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who are nevertheless two unpopular candidates”adds the specialist.
