Florida governor Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign accused the media of “election interference” on Monday night after several outlets projected that former president Donald Trump had won the Iowa caucuses just 30 minutes after caucusing began, while voting was still ongoing.

“It is absolutely outrageous that the media would participate in election interference by calling the race before tens of thousands of Iowans even had a chance to vote,” DeSantis communications director Andrew Romeo said in a statement. “The media is in the tank for Trump and this is the most egregious example yet.”

The Associated Press, Fox News, NBC, and CNN all declared Trump the winner of the race around 7:30 p.m.

The AP explained its projection was based on an analysis of early votes and a survey of voters who planned to participate in the caucus.

DeSantis press secretary Bryan Griffin said at one caucus site in Dubuque where DeSantis was speaking, “people were still waiting to be checked in when the media started making calls.”

“No one had even voted,” Griffin said. “It’s extremely disrespectful to the voters.”

Meanwhile, a New York Times live election forecast projects Trump will win the race with 53 percent of the vote, while former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley will finish second with 20 percent and DeSantis will follow with 18 percent. Vivek Ramaswamy could finish at 7 percent, according to the outlet’s projection, which can change as the caucuses continue.

While the race calls came in what may be record time, a Trump win comes as little surprise.

A Real Clear Politics average of polls pegged Trump at more than 60 percent nationally, and with 52.5 percent support in Iowa specifically, where he held a sizable lead over Haley and DeSantis, who trailed behind at 18.8 percent and 15.7 percent, respectively.

And in the last NBC News/Des Moines Register poll before the caucus, Trump won support from 48 percent of likely caucus-goers, setting a record for that poll.
