    President Donald Trump won the Iowa Republican caucuses on Monday night, as he faced no serious competitors in what was seen as a symbolic vote.

    The Associated Press reported that even though the vote was seen as a symbolic vote, the Trump team showed their "organizational strength" and showed up in force.

    "It's unusual for Iowa to even be holding a GOP contest with an incumbent in the White House," the AP added. "But GOP Chairman Jeff Kaufman said state officials were determined to keep the caucuses in place this year to maintain the state's status as the first in the nation to cast its ballots."

    Earlier in the day, Trump encouraged people in Iowa Iowans to caucus on Monday, tweeting: "Republicans in Iowa, go out and Caucus today. Your great Trade Deals with China, Mexico, Canada, Japan, South Korea and more, are DONE. Great times are coming, after waiting for decades, for our Farmers, Ranchers, Manufacturers and ALL. Nobody else could have pulled this off!"
