A landslide Trump victory at the Iowa caucus is exactly what Team Biden was hoping for, says Mo Elleithee, a US political campaign strategist from Georgetown University.
"Maybe the only people in the country who are more pleased than Donald Trump with tonight's results are in the White House currently," Elleithee told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
The Biden campaign wants to draw contrasts against Donald Trump because "it gives them the opportunity to make their case about democracy being on the ballot," he says.
While Donald Trump may be celebrating in Des Moines today, tomorrow he will be in a courtroom in New York awaiting a jury verdict on a civil case against him.
"That is something the Biden campaign has got to be loving," Elleithee says.
