Clinton wins Iowa, campaigns turn to New Hampshire

Donald Trump has accused Ted Cruz of fraud in the Iowa caucuses and Rand Paul has dropped out of the crowded Republican race to become the party’s United States presidential candidate.

Even though Clinton is the announced victor, Sanders is not admitting defeat.

Both Clinton and Sanders think the public is making too much of Clinton’s use of a personal email account as secretary of state.

The once-unthinkably-small margin between the former first lady over a self-declared “democratic socialist” is being seen as an indication the Democratic Party is conflicted between the party establishment and leftist voters.

The publication reveals that Rubio was just one percent behind Trump since the Florida senator received 23 percent of the votes while Trump was at 24 percent.

NPR listeners and readers woke up Tuesday morning to headlines declaring Hillary Clinton the victor of the previous night’s Democratic caucuses.

With a celebrity introduction by Hollywood actress Eliza Dushku and a crowd of more than a thousand people in Keene, New Hampshire, supporters say Bernie Sanders has more momentum than ever coming off a virtual tie with Hillary Clinton in Iowa. Clinton hoped for a strong finish against Sanders to vanquish his insurgent candidacy.

Cruz, who is competing with Trump for voters eager to upend the status quo, finished first among Republicans on Monday by relying on two staples of Iowa politics: a strong ground game and appeals to religious conservatives.

The Iowa Democratic Party said that it would not do any recount of the close results, and a spokesman for the Sanders campaign said it does not intend to challenge the results of the caucuses.

Harper Polling conducted its latest survey of 425 likely GOP primary voters in New Hampshire via landline telephone interviews from February 1-2. Will Ted Cruz pick up serious support? But the results in Iowa undercut Trump’s oft-repeated claim that he, unlike the other candidates, is a victor. Because of the way the process works in the Democratic Iowa caucuses, there is no mechanism for a recount.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks to guests during a campaign rally at the Gerald W. Kirn Middle School on January 31, 2016 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. “I intend to do that”, Clinton told CNN after the results. Rubio’s third-place finish established him as the Republican mainstream alternative to Trump and Cruz. Cruz has $18 million in the bank, almost double Rubio’s treasury, and his hard-right ideological profile well matches the Southern states where the post-New Hampshire primary trail leads.
