Biden was quick to launch a fundraising campaign based on Trump's Iowa victory
Iowa caucuses marked the 'beginning of the end' of Biden's presidency: Tommy Pigott
RNC strategic communications director Tommy Pigott joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss the impact of the severe winter weather on the Iowa caucuses and the future of DeSantis' and Haley's presidential campaigns.
President Biden declared former President Trump the "clear front runner" in the GOP presidential race following Trump's dominant victory in Iowa Monday night.
Biden was quick to launch a fundraising push based on Trump's win as well. He went on to attack "extreme MAGA Republicans" in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
"Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point," Biden wrote.
"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," he added.
