President Biden‘s victory in the Iowa Democratic presidential caucus, as announced by the Iowa Democratic Party, marks a significant achievement for his campaign on Super Tuesday.
Despite the subdued nature of this year’s Iowa caucus, which saw Democrats opting for a no-frills process, President Biden managed to secure a decisive win in the Hawkeye State.
While Iowa Republicans adhered to the traditional caucus format, holding their contest on January 15, Democrats chose a different approach. Instead of the usual in-person caucuses, Democrats conducted their nominating process through mail-in preference cards.
