Haley won a plurality of the vote in Johnson County.
Mr. Trump’s sweep of the caucuses was broad and deep. He outperformed Mr. DeSantis in conservative strongholds, including northwest Iowa, which is home to many evangelical voters who were heavily courted by the Florida governor. And even in more moderate suburban counties surrounding Des Moines [that would pretty much be Dallas County], which were considered favorable terrain for Ms. Haley, Mr. Trump won, albeit with far tighter margins.
