Trump projected to win Iowa


President Trump has been projected to win another key state in the 2020 election.
With about 90 percent of the vote counted, Trump will win the state of Iowa, Fox News and The Associated Press are projecting. Trump previously won Iowa by almost 10 percentage points in 2016. As of now, Trump is ahead of Biden in the state with 52.3 percent of the vote to Biden's 45.7 percent, per The New York Times.
This was the latest battleground state Trump picked up after he previously was projected to win Florida and Ohio, both states he won in the 2016 election and that were seen as key if he hoped to secure a second term.
