Former President Donald Trump hit a major milestone just a day ahead of the Iowa caucuses, winning the support of more than half of all congressional Republicans in his bid to reclaim the White House.

Specifically, President Trump now has the backing of 111 out of 220 Republicans in the House and 24 out of 49 Republicans in the Senate.
