Kathmandu, Jan 16: Kathmandu witnessed a resurgence of political attention as former U.S. President Donald Trump secured a victory in the Iowa caucuses, marking a significant step in his bid for the Republican Party’s nomination. The caucuses, held in various public venues, serve as local meetings where registered party members discuss and express their support for presidential candidates.

The Iowa caucuses, a crucial event in the American political landscape, saw Trump’s triumph, signaling a favorable start for his potential nomination. In these gatherings, delegates are chosen rather than directly selecting presidential candidates. These delegates then play a pivotal role in voting for their chosen nominee at higher-level conventions.

In the wake of Trump’s victory in Iowa, attention now turns to the race for the second position among Republican leaders. Currently, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley hold the second and third positions, respectively.

The group “Make America Great Again” issued a statement, asserting that “the people of Iowa have sent a clear message that they want Donald Trump to be the candidate of the Republican Party.” Trump’s swift victory within a mere 30 minutes underscores his enduring influence within the party and sets the stage for a competitive nomination process.

As the presidential election year unfolds in the United States, the political landscape is likely to witness intense competition and strategic moves among candidates vying for their party’s nomination. The focus now shifts to the upcoming stages of the nomination process, where candidates will seek to solidify their positions and garner support on the path to the 2024 presidential election.
