On Monday night, former President Donald Trump had an unsurprising win in Iowa, pulling 51 percent of the vote, compared to Ron DeSantis’ 21.2 percent, and Nikki Haley’s 19.1 percent. In today’s episode of The Spectacle, hosts Melissa McKenzie and Scott McKay talk election stats and speculate that Trump’s followers have become less concerned with Trump himself, and more concerned with his ability to defeat the establishment types in Washington, D.C. Melissa points out that both DeSantis and Haley have received comparatively gentle treatment by the leftist media, and Scott lays out the path forward to a successful DeSantis campaign in 2028.
