As Haley tries to stop Trump, many pundits downplay his Iowa landslide
Fox News
Former President Donald Trump's landslide victory in Iowa impressed even his staunchest media detractors. But counter-spin is in favor of another candidate.
Howard Kurtz is the host of FOX News Channel's MediaBuzz (Sundays 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET). Based in Washington, D.C., he joined the network in July 2013 and regularly appears on Special Report with Bret Baier and other programs.
By the next morning, a counter-spin was emerging. Sure, Trump had captured 51 percent of the vote, but that meant almost half of Iowa Republicans had voted against him!
Well, nice try. Trump had beaten three other contenders, with his closest rival, Ron DeSantis, at 21 percent. It would be different if the former president had faced one opponent, but that didn’t happen. DeSantis and Nikki Haley are still in the race, dividing the anti-Trump Republicans, while Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamay are out.
