Despite facing numerous criminal charges and spending less time campaigning in Iowa, Trump's victory challenges traditional caucus campaigning strategies.

• Donald Trump was declared the winner of the Iowa Caucus shortly after polls closed, sparking controversy and allegations of 'election interference' from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' camp.
• Trump's victory, despite significantly less time spent campaigning in Iowa than other candidates, challenges traditional strategies for winning the Iowa caucuses.
• Trump's supporters braved life-threatening cold conditions to vote, demonstrating overwhelming support for the former president.
