Trump won Iowa's general election electoral votes in 2016, 2020, and 2024, per NBC News and KCCI.
NBC News confirms Trump won Iowa in 2024, 2020, and 2016 general presidential elections with specific vote percentages. KCCI similarly confirms Trump won Iowa's popular vote and electoral votes in all three consecutive presidential elections (2016, 2020, 2024). The PolitiFact source is about a separate claim regarding Iowa's Republican caucus (a primary contest), not the general election, where Trump did lose to Ted Cruz in 2016 - but the claim here specifically references 'presidential elections,' which refers to the general election, not the caucus. The claim as stated matches the general election results documented by NBC News and KCCI.
