Donald Trump says he didn’t have much of a ground game in Iowa — after months of his campaign touting its operation in the state.

Trump tells Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity that his campaign “didn’t have much of a ground game because I didn’t think I was going to be winning.”

He says that, “in retrospect, we could have done much better with the ground game.”

The comments are an apparent slight to Trump’s Iowa state director Chuck Laudner.

Laudner had said in January he felt “fantastic about the ground game.”

Donald Trump says his decision to skip the last GOP debate before the Iowa caucuses may have contributed to his second-place finish.

But the billionaire businessman says he’d do it the same if he had to do it again.

Trump finished second to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in Monday evening’s contest after placing first in multiple polls.

He skipped the debate because of a spat with Fox News and instead held a fundraiser for veterans that raised $6 million.

Trump says he “would never, ever give that up to go between first and second in Iowa.”

Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign is unveiling a new two-minute television ad directed at billionaire businessman Donald Trump.

The campaign says the “Turn Off Trump” ad first appeared Tuesday on Manchester, New Hampshire station WMUR-TV.

Republican Donald Trump is predicting he’ll win over voters from Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

Trump sounded as confident as ever addressing reporters in New Hampshire ahead of a Tuesday evening rally in Milford, New Hampshire.

He says he expects to do better than his second-place finish in Iowa.

He says New Hampshire “fits me better, it probably suits me better.”

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has raised about $3 million in the past 24 hours since his narrow loss to Hillary Clinton in Monday’s leadoff Iowa caucuses.

Donald Trump is blaming the press for framing his second-place finish in Iowa on Monday evening as a loss.

Trump is telling a crowd of thousands in Milford, New Hampshire, Tuesday evening that he’s not disappointed he placed behind rival Ted Cruz in a state where few thought he’d do well.

He says, “I come in second, I’m not humiliated.”

Trump had systematically raised expectations ahead of Monday evening’s caucuses, telling audiences he expected a win.

But now he says, “The press didn’t treat me right.”

He says the media refuses to say he did an “unbelievable job,” instead reporting: “Well, yeah, he did all right. A little disappointed. You know, third place was fantastic.”

Trump says he performed much better than pundits expected when he first entered the race.

He responded: “I think now we’re going to go first, you’re right. It’s going to be great.”

He was joined at the stop by former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown.

5:44 p.m.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump couldn’t deliver enough evangelical votes to nip Ted Cruz in the Iowa presidential caucuses.

That’s according to polls of Iowans interviewed for the Associated Press and other media as they entered caucus sites Monday.

The billionaire businessman also trailed among voters who made their choice late, and among those who said they want a candidate who shares their values.

The results suggest Trump needs to improve his turnout operation and his ability to persuade undecided voters as the GOP nominating contest moves forward into New Hampshire.

Trump did defeat Cruz by more than a 2-to-1 margin among voters who want an outsider. But Cruz and fellow senator Marco Rubio crushed Trump among voters who want someone with political experience.

___

5:05 p.m.

Jeb Bush is going after the top three finishers in Monday night’s Iowa caucuses in New Hampshire.

He says Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are “untested” and do not have the experience to handle the Oval Office job.

He was especially critical of Trump, saying the billionaire businessman “disparages” and “insults” people during the campaign because he’s “a man with deep insecurities.”

Bush made his comments at New England College in Henniker, N.H., one of four events in the state that holds the nation’s first primary Feb. 9.

He was especially critical of Trump, saying the billionaire businessman is “a man with deep insecurities.”

Sanders says his campaign is “not about spin, it’s not about 30 second ads. It’s about the American people.”

___

3:55 p.m.

Republican Marco Rubio says rival Chris Christie’s dismissal of him as unprepared to lead the nation is a sign that the Florida senator is a threat to the New Jersey governor in the GOP nomination fight.

During an interview with CNN, Rubio says “When people attack you, usually they don’t attack someone who isn’t doing well.”

Rubio nearly beat billionaire Donald Trump for second place in the Iowa caucuses Monday night. Christie finished near the bottom of the crowded GOP field, but has focused his campaign on a strong finish in New Hampshire.

Clyburn says, “I don’t think they are wasting their time.” He’s predicting that the endorsement will have an effect on the contest for the Democratic presidential nomination heading into South Carolina’s Feb. 27 primary.

___

3:30 p.m.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says rival Ted Cruz’s Iowa victory speech is like Howard Dean’s infamous 2004 scream.

Trump is tweeting, “Anybody who watched all of Ted Cruz’s far too long, rambling, overly flamboyant speech last night would say that was his Howard Dean moment!”

Dean finished in third place in the 2004 caucuses and delivered a shouting speech that included an awkward yelp.

The moment was played again and again on the news and late-night television.

Trump has been lashing out on Twitter over how the race is being portrayed. And he’s blaming voters for not giving him enough credit for self-funding his campaign.

Trump has received millions of dollars in contributions. His latest campaign finance filing shows he is now spending more of his own money than donors’.

___

2:31 p.m.

South Carolina congressman Jeff Duncan says he’s endorsing Sen. Ted Cruz for president because the Texas senator has “a history of following through” on his word.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is lashing out at Marco Rubio and Donald Trump on immigration while facing New Hampshire voters for the first time since his Iowa caucus victory.

The first-term Texas senator made the comments during a campaign appearance in Windham, N.H., hours after he scored a victory in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses. Trump finished second and Rubio third.

Cruz’s team aggressively attacked Rubio in television ads across Iowa in recent days as “the Republican Obama.”

Hillary Clinton says she has “some work to do” to attract young and first-time voters to her campaign for president.

There is still one Republican delegate left to be awarded in Iowa, but it won’t determine the winner. It might even go to a candidate who suspended his campaign Monday night.

Ted Cruz’s victory means he’ll collect eight delegates to the Republican National Convention.

Donald Trump and Marco Rubio each get seven.

Coming next is Ben Carson with three, followed by Rand Paul, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina and John Kasich, who won one each.

Delegates are awarded in proportion to the statewide vote.

Mike Huckabee and Chris Christie are in a tight race for the last delegate, which should be awarded when the Iowa GOP verifies the results later this week.

___

1:25 p.m.

Former President Bill Clinton says he’s satisfied with his wife’s narrow victory in Iowa, casting the state as difficult political terrain.

“It’s hard there,” he said, in an interview after an event in Nashua. “It was a jump ball and I’m glad it came down on our side of the coin.”

Iowa and New Hampshire, he says, are “two of the most challenging places” for Clinton’s presidential campaign. Though she won New Hampshire eight years ago, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has long represented the bordering state of Vermont, making him a familiar figure to voters.

___

Hello, South Carolina.

Even as the candidates storming through New Hampshire ahead of the Feb. 9 primary, several campaigns are juggling their priorities to include next-up South Carolina.

Republicans vote Feb. 20 in South Carolina; Democrats follow Feb. 27.

Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton — on wife Hillary’s behalf — are scheduled to appear will appear Wednesday.

For the GOP, South Carolina is the first opportunity to compete in a large electorate that reflects the wider Republican spectrum of bubusiness-minded conservatives, tea partiers, national security hawks and retirees from across the northeast and midwest.

___

10:43 a.m.

Speaking in Newbury, New Hampshire Kasich is sticking to his message of bringing fiscal discipline to Washington instead of focusing on the results of Monday’s Iowa caucuses.

Kasich is betting his White House hopes on New Hampshire, insisting that running a positive campaign will vault him to the top of the pack. Polls show he’s in the running for second place behind Donald Trump alongside candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, who both performed well in Iowa.

Boyd Brown told The Associated Press Tuesday that he can’t back Bernie Sanders because of his socialist-leaning views. And he says he can’t support Hillary Clinton due to her lack of “core values.”

He says he’ll “be happy to listen to see if” former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg runs as an independent and will be interested in “who the Republican Party goes with.”

Democratic superdelegates can support the candidate of their choice at the party’s summer national convention, regardless of whom voters choose in the primaries and caucuses.

Unlike past conservatives who’ve won Iowa contest and then fizzled, Cruz says he has the financial strength, broad appeal and grassroots support to keep up the momentum.
