It was caucus night in Iowa on Jan. 15 and some 850 Republicans, out of the 110,000 that turned out despite the biting sub zero temperatures, filled the gym at Knoxville High School in Marion County. There they heard the campaign pitches from surrogates like Beaufort Sen. Tom Davis for Nikki Haley and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum for former President Donald Trump.

On this episode of the South Carolina Lede for January 17, 2024, it’s our “Iowa Pod.” Former President Trump had a major victory Monday night in Iowa, winning with a strong 51% majority, while FL Gov. Ron DeSantis narrowly edged out former SC Gov. Nikki Haley by two points to win the second spot; we have key Iowa takeaways, and what it means going forward to New Hampshire and South Carolina; and more!
