Former President Donald Trump has won the Iowa Republican caucuses, according to a race call by The Associated Press, NPR reported. 

This has been an incredible experience," Trump said late Monday night.

Trump thanked Iowans for delivering him a decisive win. Trump also thanked his team and supporters who turned out to vote despite the arctic blast that brought freezing temperatures throughout the state.

This is the second time that Trump has won the Iowa caucuses, although during his speech he claimed to have won contests in the state three times.

Trump won the Iowa caucuses in 2020, but lost to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas in 2016.

While addressing his supporters, Trump criticized President Biden for issues with the country's southern border, crime, and wars abroad.

"He is the worst president that we have had in the history of our country," Trump said. "He is destroying our country."
