Brace yourself. It’s Election year.

For nearly four years, Donald J. Trump has held the Oval Office as President of the United States.

About to complete his first full term as president, the nation’s highest position is up for grabs as the 2020 election is around the corner — November 3rd, to be exact.

Since the very moment the most outspoken and unbelievable Republican candidate shocked the world on Election Night 2016, the rivaling Democratic party has been working towards the ultimate goal of regaining a political foothold.

But, let’s simplify things.  While the Democrats currently hold the majority of representatives in the House (half of the Legislative or law-making branch), the Republicans control the Senate majority and hold the Oval Office through President Trump.

Currently, multiple Democratic candidates are seriously in the running to be the next U.S. president.  The Iowa Caucuses took place on Monday, February 3rd and was the first determination of who’s taken a visible lead in the race.

What’s so significant about Iowa?  Registered voters in Iowa got the first chance to vote for their Democratic nominee to become a frontrunner in the party.  The candidates normally are discouraged or encouraged to keep running for the nomination, and Iowa is the first sign of what’s to come in the Democratic party.

There was a catastrophe, however.  Winners and results weren’t announced until the AM hours the following morning.  Reporters and politicians were left in the dark for hours before definitive results were released.  This was the first time such a delay has occurred in Iowa Caucus history.

The was the first step in an exciting election season, so get ready.
