Cruz Wins: Fox Confirms the Decision Desk's Call
Could Rubio Overtake Trump for 2nd Place?
Trump to speak in 5 minutes.
With a lot of the vote now in, it's Trump 24%, Rubio 23%.
The Decision Desk has the first call -- they call the GOP side for Ted Cruz.
Of course, there are still a lot of votes to be counted. Update: Fox News confirms the Decision Desk's call.
Projected turnout on the GOP side is 170,000+ -- which would smash all previous Iowa caucus records (on the GOP side -- in 2008, Obama's big year, the Dems got 220,000).
This is pretty funny:
Update: Iowa winnows the field -- Martin O'Malley to suspend his campaign.
