Former US President Donald Trump on Tuesday emphasised that Israel would not have been attacked if he were still president and further promised to solve the situation \u201cvery fast\u201d if reelected, as reported by The Times of Israel. Trump, on Tuesday, won the Iowa caucuses, according to CNN, solidifying his position as the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination to turn up against incumbent Joe Biden in a 2020 rematch.<\/p>\n
Following his win at the Republican Iowa caucuses, Trump called President Joe Biden the \u201cworst president that we\u2019ve had in the history of the country,\u201d as per The Times of Israel. He further said that if he were still president, \u201cRussia would not have attacked, and Israel would never have been attacked.\u201d Moreover, Trump vowed to quickly solve both issues if he is reelected in November, according to The Times of Israel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Ukraine situation is so horrible, the Israeli situation is so horrible, what\u2019s happened. We\u2019re going to get them solved; we are going to get them solved very fast,\u201d he added. Trump\u2019s victory in his first election since his unusual exit in 2020 has also laid to rest any lingering questions about his hold over the GOP and the potency of his right-wing message. Notably, whoever wins the GOP nomination needs to win at least 1,215 out of 2,429 delegates awarded.<\/p>\n
The focus of the race will now turn to New Hampshire, which will hold its first-in-the-nation Republican primary on January 23. The Hill reported citing several strategists that a Trump win in both Iowa and New Hampshire could seal the deal for the rest of the election cycle, making it nearly \u2018impossible\u2019 for another GOP candidate to catch up before the general. Following his victory, President Joe Biden Trump the \u2018front runner\u2019 of the \u201cother side\u201d termed the 2024 contest as, \u201cyou and me\u201d versus the \u201cextreme MAGA Republicans\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cLooks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He\u2019s the clear front runner on the other side at this point. But here\u2019s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it\u2019ll be true tomorrow,\u201d Joe Biden posted on X. Moreover, Indian-American entrepreneur and GOP leader Vivek Ramaswamy pulled out of the White House race on Tuesday after a weak showing in the Republican Party\u2019s first nominating contest in Iowa.<\/p>\n
Ramaswamy, who gained attention for his outspoken debate performances, ended his presidential bid and threw his support behind Donald Trump, whom he had earlier dubbed the \u201cbest president of 21st century.\u201d However, recently, Trump launched an attack on Ramaswamy, calling his campaign \u201cdeceitful\u201d and urging his supporters not to \u201cwaste\u201d their vote on him. He said that the Indian-American leader is not \u2018MAGA\u2019 (Make America Great Again) and a vote for him is a vote for the \u201cother side.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, in response to this, Ramaswamy said he won\u2019t be criticising the former President and reiterated his earlier stance that Trump indeed is the \u201cgreatest President\u201d of the 21st century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
