The Associated Press and television networks that projected former President Donald Trump as the winner of the Iowa caucus came under fire for calling the race before most votes were even counted.
The Associated Press called the race just about 30 minutes after voting began, projecting Trump as the winner with only nine of 1,657 precincts reporting results, or 0.54%, according to Axios. Fox News, NBC News and CNN all projected Trump as the winner before 9 pm as well.
