Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley are essentially tied at 10 p.m. ET for second place in the Iowa caucuses.

DeSantis is slightly overperforming some of the pre-election polling.

This could be because of his turnout operation, but the race for second place is too early to call.

Fox News' Decision Desk has projected that former President Donald Trump will win the caucuses.
