President Joe Biden has responded to Donald Trump’s landslide win in the Iowa caucuses, by warning American voters it’s “going to be you and me vs extreme MAGA Republicans”.

Mr Trump was Monday night’s overwhelming winner, picking up 51 per cent of the vote in the Hawkeye state and bringing him closer to securing the Republican presidential nomination as primary season finally got under way.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis got 21 per cent of the vote, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley scored 19 per cent and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy scored just 8 per cent, prompting the latter to suspend his campaign and back the victor.

“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Mr Biden posted on X overnight.

“But here’s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it’ll be true tomorrow.

“So if you’re with us, chip in now.”

As Mr Trump delivered a victory speech in which he hailed “a very special night” and pledged to “straighten up the problems of the world” if he returned to the White House, a Biden campaign adviser told CNN the significance of the moment was that it illustrated the extent of the former president’s stranglehold over the Republican Party – and that they now expect the GOP to go all-in for Mr Trump’s candidacy from now on.
