Subscribers can gift articles to anyone

Former President Donald Trump won Tuesday’s Repblican Iowa caucus in convincing fashion, coming away with 51% of the vote. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in a distant second, with 21.2%, followed by former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley with 19.1%. Vivek Ramaswamy dropped out of the race.

The editorial cartoon gallery’s lead image, by Dana Summers, sends up Haley’s statement that her third-place finish puts her in position to challenge Trump for the nomination. The two-person race she’s talking about will be between Trump and President Joe Biden, in the cartoonist’s view. Several artists comment on the frigid weather in Iowa that may have dampened turnout.
