Trump Wins Iowa Landslide

The 2024 presidential election is officially underway.

Americast hits the road for a record breaking caucus. Destination? Des Moines, Iowa.

It’s not only the coldest caucus ever seen in Iowa, but it’s also the biggest landslide for a Republican nominee. The question is whether it’s enough to bury his main rivals Ron Desantis and Nikki Haley for good, or whether the runners up are still even in the running at all.

The gang chew through the numbers with the famed pollster Frank Luntz, and Sarah gets a peek into the Trump family business by speaking to the former President’s son, Eric.
