martin o'malley is 3%.re estimates based on the survey of voters as they went into the caucus sites. the final out i have to stress may be different. it's important to note that the first results come from interviews with caucus goers who arrived early. those who show up at caucus sites earliest may vote differently than those who arrive later. at a democratic caucus site in des moines, what are you seeing? >> a lot of excitement. you just saw how they were trying to persuade the voters and four of them have gone to the hillary side and they went over to lots of clapping and cheers. they are not giving up. they hope in the next 30-minute window they will have time to convince the hillary supporters to come to their side and that would put them over the top to win. it is far from over. as you saw, four undecided voters were convinced to go over to the hillary side and there are two that are uncommitted. the next 30 minutes will be crucial for them. back to you. >> they are speaking now and people changed the

martin o'malley supporters speaking up...really pressing for o'malley?oh you bet! so when he announced he was running i was really excited. once the votes were cast, caucus officials used an app or call in to submit their results.hillary is the one who needs to be in there, i mean she's the one..she's got the 3 several precincts of sioux city republicans gathered this evening at east high for their caucus.our nick popham was on scene for *their* gathering... and has *this* report. 3 the iowa caucuses act as sort of the beginning to the end of the election process.with all of the country fixated on the midwestern state-caucus precincts like this one at east high school in sioux city-help everyone get a sense of who could be the next president in a different way."it's really the beginning of the whole political process. this is where raw democracy begins. so it's more than just sitting there casting a ballot, going to the polling place, pushing a lever or filling out a form. you actually get to participate in helping run the parties."this specific precinct is for reg

this brings up the interesting martin o'malley thing tonight. what the o'malley supporters can do to give hillary clinton a firewall against bernie sanders. >> the martin o'malley folks are committed martin o'malley supporters. after all this combat that has happened on the democratic side, and with hillary clinton and bernie sanders being so far in the lead of martin o'malley at this time, you're not wishy-washy about it. you would have been pushed off that mark a long time ago if you didn't feel strong about it. martin o'malley was asked recently what his caucusgoers might be facing pressure that they formed a 15% viable group at any individual caucus. they're trying to be wooed to go to either the other two candidates. his message was, stand firm. his message was, do not give yourself to your second choice candidate. try to be 15%. try to be available at any one of these sites. if you've got a caucus site with 300 people at it, you've got to get, what does that mean, 45 people to support martin o'malley in order to stay viable. and there's goi

i'm actually moving the martin o'malley preference group. you're here for martin. >> we are. >> you don't look viable yet. are what are you going to do? >> we're looking at the undecided vote over there. i think they are key in the political party system. >> who are you thinking about realigning to? >> probably bernie sanders. >> how about yourself? >> sanders. >> bernie. >> i'm holding out for o' malley. >> you'll be here for a while, right? >> yeah. >> you heard it from that gentleman. he said he's going to hold out. >> least wearing the iowa state flag. maybe that gives him strength. >> to folks just joining us, while you're watching democracy in action, if you fly west out near the nebraska border and you look at a similar, smaller but similar democrat caucus. the totals will not look the same way. in a college town on a college campus, that's what we're seeing. let's listen in to the gop tally. >> 21. >> any santorum or huckabee. >> we had no counts for the candidates. >> we had blank one. >> if we heard correctly, no huckabee, no santor

martin o'malley supporters speaking up...really pressing for o'malley?oh you bet! so when he announced he was running i was really excited. once the votes were cast, caucus officials used an app or call in to submit their results.hillary is the one who needs to be in there, i mean she's the one..she's got the experience.3 3 and quite a few precincts of sioux city republicans were at east high for *their* caucus. reporter nick (pop - hum) popham was there for *their* 3 the iowa caucuses act as sort of the beginning to the end of the election process.with all of the country fixated on the midwestern state-caucus precincts like this one at east high school in sioux city-help everyone get a sense of who could be the next president in a different way. "it's really the beginning of the whole political process. this is where raw democracy begins. so it's more than just sitting there casting a ballot, going to the polling place, pushing a lever or filling out a form. you actually get to participate in helping run the parties."this specific precinct is for registered republ

martin o'malley has stepped out of the race. let's get back to phil lipof live in iowa. j.c.: phil, things didn't go exactly as planned at the caucus you were at, right? phil: j.c., ed, you're absolutely right about that. this was about a two-hour process. i didn't think things were going as planned. people here at the end of the night, oh, no, this is how it always works in iowa. it was crazy for some time. in the end they boiled it down and they got a winner. hillary clinton, 362. phil: democracy in action here in iowa, they literally stood up for their candidates. martin o'malley supporters were 51 strong, not viable to be considered, the fight was on for their support, where would they go, clinton or sanders. they went to sanders. it didn't matter. some convincing hillary clinton emerged victorious in the 1,600 plus precincts. >> it's always like that. we talk to our neighbors and we work it out. phil: you're happy about the outcome. >> i'm thrilled, go hillary. >> i'm disappointed, very that bernie sanders is the only guy that is committed to restoring democracy. ph

you see onn the democratic side there were not enough votesfor martin o'malley. what happens is his supporters there can n either go to bernie sanders's side or hillary clinton's side or no side at all. it may be that martin o'malley's supporters throw the race in the democratic side of the iowa caucus. we'll hav to wait and see on that. it's been an exciting time here at the iowa caucus. i'm glenna millberg in des moines, iowa, local 10 news. >> thanks. ted cruz with a strong 28%, donald trump right behind him, 24%, marco former governor only getting 23% of the vote. >> clinton has 49.9%. sanders has 49.6%. martin o'malley dropping out of the race after getting less than 1% of a vote. >>> and now to one and onlyxclusive story you'll see on local 10, a lawyer accused of having sex with her client was in court yesterday along with her client. the judge said the ban should be lifted with eliminations. victor oquendo has the exclusive hearing as he spoke with a lawyer. >>reporter: defense attorneys reunited with her client. >> i'm here to fight for my client's right

so martin o'malley supporters could potentially be the difference makers tonight in iowa. earlier outside a coffee shop stay strong: whenever our country faces times of gridlock...the people of iowa lift up a new leader...move country forward. remember, democratic caucus republican rules - candidates must have 15% of caucus goers in precinct if they don't, their suuporters are free to support another candidate...so again, unless a miracle happens, martin o'malley will not get that 15% so his supporters could be the deciding factor. we'll be here all night. but for now, we'll toss it back to you in the studio. and, it's almost caucus time in siouxland. and, in woodbury county there's 13 different locations for democrats to go. ktiv's tommie clark is live at one of those spots, west middle school. sheila, doors open at 6:30 p.m. so right now it's all about the set up. organizers are here making sure everything is ready for caucus-goers. there will be three different and 7. depending on how many people file in, the caucus could split up throughout the school. gather here in t

and martin o'malley didn't get any., that is what makes the iowa caucuses, kellen zimmer, you were an oem malley supporter, you have heard he is dropping out. >> yes i heard that. we got some people to support the governor, political discourse, be that with the hillary campaign or the sanders campaign, it was good to explain why i appreciated governor o'malley. >> kellen, tell me you were one of the last people to go over to the other side. you went to o'mamalley to sande. tell me what you felt quickly. >> obviously i was torn. they are all three great candidates. i do realize hillary's experience but i do recognize that senator sanders has really got a political revolution started really gotten people engaged and i think that's going to be important especially in the coming years to see people in my generation actively engaged in politics. if this is a start i want to be part of that start to where we can continue that in the future for engagement in my generation. >> kellen thank you so much. martin o'malley is having

>> i just heard from a source close to martin o'malley, who tells me he will suspend his campaign probablythe next 40 minutes. 9:30 central time, we expect governor o'malley to come out, thank his supporters, he will suspend his campaign. he's had a disappointing showing tonight. he's spend a lot of time here in iowa, a lot of time in new hampshire. ran a pretty hard campaign. he was unable to breakthrough. >> we look at the numbers right now. about 2/3 in. hillary clinton at 51%. it has to do with the caucus procedure, the delegates, martin o'malley had no predifferents where he was able to get 15% of the vote. he was not viable. 8 months ago i spent three or four days with martin o'malley here in iowa, he was an amazing campaigner. seemed to generate a lot of enthusiasm. on came bernie sanders and seemed to suck that liberal enthusiasm toward himself, martin o'malley was supposed to be the credible alternative to hillary clinton, that space was filled by bernie sanders. he was the governor of maryland, he's been the mayor of baltimore, he has a strong future ahead of him. >> we're all no

>> christopher, why are they not talking about martin o'malley. those supporters could make a difference if they have to go to one side or the other tonight, right? >> it is interesting the way the democratic caucus works. if you are not a viable candidate your support is disbanded and you can go home or join another candidate. right now martin o'malley supporters is four percent which is the difference between bernie and hillary. they don't want to go negative and o'malley is not given instructions. but you will see the serious caucus leaders and captains in iowa starting to shake hands and talk to the o'malley people. >> it all depends on how many people decide to show up. we talked about enthusiasm a minute ago, james. could that put bernie sanders over the top? >> one of the things that is interesting, clinton campaign is extra teggic and calculating and trained the precinct captains to send clinton supporterscwfhw to  to delegates. and if martin o'malley gets more than 15 percent he is considered viable and he can get adeleigate and that mig

. >> amanda: and martin o'malley deciding factor. martin o'malley has only 3% the vote, but he is still not backing down. the democratic caucus rules require a candidate has 15% of caucus goers and precinct. if they don't, their supporters can back another candidate. bernie sander, once losing to hillary clinton by nearly 50 points, sanders finds himself teetering on a win. >> if we ought to deal with climate change and women's rights and all of the important issues that are out there, the only way that happens is when millions of people stand up, come together, and demand that our government starts working for all of us, not just the one percent. >> amanda: but experts say despise sanders' surge, clinton's numbers are still strong and she is extremely popular among democrats. focused on the needs of the uny. roads,bridges, tunnels, rail system, there is work to be done >> amanda: and as i mentioned, o'malley has 3% of the support right now and it's very interesting because that's the exact spread right now between sanders and clinto

as for martin o'malley. his turnout for this location is anemic. are taken up by bernie sanders supporters. they're trying to sort out right now if o'malley is going to be viable at this location. and if he cannot come up with 80 people here, then we're going to see a high stakes game of let's make a deal, the clinton backers and the sanders backers are going to try to convince to go to this location. neil,. neil: thank you very much, buddy. the night is still young, the crowds are still long and still a ways to go. early indications so far that ted cruz and donald trump in a very tight fight with a lot more vote to go against the percentage of vote last time democrats counted as delegates. that race too between hillary clinton and bernie sanders also. very, very tight. and we have a ways to go. and we have a lot of lines, and we have a lot of districts and precincts that have run off ballots and run out of paper and run out of a lot of stuff because they didn't anticipate these crowds. welcome to iowa. welcome to the start of campaign 2016. more af

martin o'malley is in a distant third. if his supporters jump ship they could be the deciding factors. belichick has a slight lead over ted cruz. -- donald trump has a slightly over ted cruz. >> commit tomorrow night to come out and caucus for us. weijia: on the campaign trail his tour bus got suck in the mud and needed a tow. trump campaigned with the reverend jerry falwell jr. trying to win over evangelicals. they are one of the most reliable groups to caucus. >> if we can come out of iowa with a nice victory, it is so important. weijia: volunteers are also giving a final push too canvassing across the state. >> hi it's aliya from the bernie campaign. how are you doing? weijia: and making tens of thousands of phone calls. political experts say this late in the game volunteers should minds but making sure already committed voters actually show up on caucus night. >> you have to be in line by 7:00. if you're not, your vote won't be counted. weijia: bad weather threatens much of the state but the candidates hope it holds of

sources saying martin o'malley has ended his bid. o'malley putting up very small numbers tonight in iowa. >> be sure to stay with fox 25 throughout the hour. situation very closely. the moment the results are final we will bring them to you right here live on the air. be sure to stay with us as well as we they can in with any speeches. >>> in just a few minutes as things wrap up in iowa it's on-line new hampshire. our political reporter sharman sacchetti takes touts granite state before tomorrow. that's coming up in about 15 minutes. >>> first a weymouth firefighter is suspended about making controversial comments in on facebook. fox 25 news at 6:00 he's off the job without pay for 90 days. new tonight, our jim morelli is live outside weymouth city hall where some people just called for more action against that firefighter. jim? >> reporter: mark, 90 days without pay and a desk job when he gets back. pretty harsh punishment for posting something to facebook but you are right, some are saying it's not enough. they say this firefighter

how do you get a martin o'malley voter? i can't believe we're talking about martin o'malley. i think he's, i actually think martin o'malley's a bit irrelevant right now, and i think the momentum is with bernie sanders. i just do not end vision a situation where the dnc allows bernie sanders to capture that nomination, because they're just not going to do it. you see them circling the wagons around hillary clinton. nancy pelosi never met a tax increase she didn't like, and they're trying to shut bernie up. don't say tax increases are going to cost people money. they're trying to quiet him down. but i do think hillary clinton, the machine you keep hearing mentioned over and over, is one to be watched this evening. and whether or not she gets indicted, they will try to drag her over the finish line while elizabeth warren waits in the ranks saying no one's above the law. harris: the closeness of this race according to the current polling is about the percentage that martin o'malley has, so that's the only way he's relevant, by

breaking news tonight again martin o'malley is out. he is suspending his presidential run and ted cruz declared the winner on the gop side by fox news. we're going to introduce our guests in just a moment but first let's look at some of the results coming in on the gop side. cruz 28%, donald trump 24%, marco rubio 23%. now let's switch to the democrats. again 82% reporting. it is very close here. hillary clinton with 50%, bernie sanders 49%. 2,000 sites across the hawkeye state, 99 counts participating. a communications professor who knows her way around the iowa caucuses. back in 2008 she was the communications director for the democratic party in iowa. so again we can tell you fox is calling the race on the return side. ted cruz declared the winner. so it's always about turnout for candidates, but for trump and sanders who have seen massive momentum at their campaign events, this was really the moment of truth. could they harness all that support and translate it into votes. >> i think we're seeing the grass roots in action with rubi

hillary clinton and bernie sanders go head to head in their fifth debate tonight, the first since martin o'malley dropped out of the race. but, as weijia jiang reports, the leading republicans are still battling over victories in iowa. >> reporter: republican senator 10 crews -- ted cruz met with potential voters saturday. while he continues his work with donald trump. interested in a temper tantrum, or you could call it, a trumpertantrum. >> reporter: in a series of tweets, donald trump accused ted cruz of fraud in the iowa caucuses. the republican party disagreed and made the results official. overnight, trump to do it again, suggesting cruz's tactic was a misdemeanor at minimum. >> these politicians are brutal. >> reporter: democrats hillary clinton and bernie sanders are preparing for debate tonight, the first head-to-head showdown since martin o'malley dropped out of the race. at a town hall event last night, the candidates continue to spar over which one of them deserve to be called a progressive. >> there can't be a moderate or progressive. >> it's very hard to see how be achievable. >> re

jonathan: back to the breaking campaign news, democratic and former maryland governor martin o'malley is suspending his campaign. jay korff joins us with what o'malley said moments ago. jay: a story of huge local importance and a huge turnout in iowa did not help o'malley. mayor of baltimore and governor of maryland has suspended his campaign. he garnered only 1% of the vote in the iowa caucuses, far behind sanders and clinton. o'malley stumped as a proud progressive, talking about climate change and gun control. moments ago he talked about why he was in the race in the first place. fight, but iugh have been drawn to a tough fight. i felt when i got into this as i looked down the road, i felt very finally that our country with scanning the horizon, looking for new possibilities and new leadership. a way to heal our divisions. you guys have been with me every step of the way, and i cannot thank you enough. as far as martin o'malley's next up, he has not said what he will be doing professionally. jay korff, abc 7 news. jonathan: we are getting word, cnn is reporting bernie sanders and h

there was another small group for candidate martin o'malley. but after the first count, the it was clear he had too few supporters. >> are you going to go with hillary or bernie? >> well, i'm torn but probably hillary. >> reporter: proving the polls right, this democratic race is neck and neck. tim and his wife remain split after the voting. one supports clinton and the other sanders. >> yeah, i got to work on my wife and daughter first. >> reporter: what? >> yeah, she's for clinton. >> reporter: that's right. it look longer than the and confusing math, this democratic caucus location sided with hillary rodham clinton. within two to three hour, it was all over. and it may go down as a record breaker when it comes to turnout. >> everything i can see, it's going to be a record turnout. i've never seen as many candidates nor as big of crowds. >> reporter: and that's really saying a lot. the governor of iowa actually saying that this is something like he's never seen before. ted cruz, the winner, donald trump fighting to go forward. some of the pla

another presidential candidate calling it quits -- former maryland governor martin o'malley said he is suspending moines last night. the news comes after o'malley didn't register support in caucus results. o'malley entered the race on may 30th, but never cracked double- digits in national polls and struggled to gain traction. now let's take a look at the past caucus winners here in iowa... in 2012, rick santorum won the republican caucus - beating out mitt romney by point one percent. last night, santorum received less than 2- thousand votes in iowa. in 2008, mike huckabee won the and barack obama won the democratic caucus - beating john edwards. in 2004, john kerry took the top spot for the democrats. and in 2000, george w. bush received the republican caucus over steve forbes and al gore won the democratic caucus, beating out bill bradley by nearly 30 percent. our kwwl team went to caucus sites across eastern iowa. kwwl's olivia mancino was in black hawk county and reports at it was a big night here at undecided. i watched as waterloo garden variety of support some people supported t

democrat outsider martin o'malley bowed out of the race. suspending his campaign. with most of the votes counselled, bernie sanders and hillary clinton are neck and neck. republican ted cruz spoke to his supporters, shortly after victory was declared. >> tonight is a victory for the grassroots. tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across iowa, and all across this great nation. tonight the state of iowa has spoken >>> jazz's kimberley hall -- al jazeera's kimberley halkett is following the republican candidates in the caucus. what does the victory mean for ted cruz and donald trump. >> he pointed out in his speech that we played a clip of, that this means that the establishment and the media that predicted he would not farewell in iowa has been proven wrong. that is something that was highlighted by the one who was leading in the polls for a long time. donald trump. instead coming in second place. ted cruz finishing with 27% of the vote. highlighting the fact that he says this is the most votes cast in any - but for any republican primary winner. donald

democratic candidate martin o'malley as we said during the 10:00, suspends his campaign tonight. less than a percent. he is leaving the race for the white house. also breaking within the last hour on the republican side, mike huckabee says on twitter he is ending his second run for president. all right. let's go to the gop results. right now with 99% of the precincts reporting, ted cruz with 28%, donald trump 24, marco rubio has come from behind at 23%. again fox news and other outlets calling the race for ted cruz tonight democrats now with 88% reporting hillary clinton with 49.9%. we had been rounding it up. but to show you how close it is, just take a look. 49.9%, to bernie sanders, 49.5%. again, o'malley with .6%. let's bring in our guest our communications professor. she was the communications director for the democratic party in iowa. you know politics in iowa well. thank you for joining us. let's get to the headline. ted cruz won, you say it's because he ran a grass roots operation. >> he ran the ground game, that's what they expect. going to 99 counties. robe yoe did simi

martin o'malley out of the race. chuck todd has some perspective this morning. >> wow, iowa is now out of the way and, boy, did it deliver the close races that we expected. ted cruz ended up on top proving that organization mattered more than celebrity here in iowa. he got the big win. it was a must win for him. now we go to thp in that, now that's new hampshire, a must win for donald trump. the other big story is marco rubio, the close third-place finish could mean the so-called establishment wing of the party will now coalesce around rubio. can he make a run at trump in new hampshire and see if he can turn a three-way race in to a two way one with ted cruz. the democratic side, hillary clinton did not get the monkey off her back and get the outright win that she needed. this now puts pressure on her to close the gap in new hampshire and start finding some states that she can win in perhaps in nevada and south carolina. >> as far as hillary clinton and bernie sanders go, we can tell that you they are both this iowa

martin o'malley brought in one percent with just 8 votes. for the republicans, another relatively tight race. ted cruz takes the lead with 28 percent. donald trump falls 4 percent behind him with 24 percent. and marco rubio surges nearby at 23 percent. ben carson 9 percent. rand paul 5 percent. jeb bush 3 percent. carly fiorina 2 percent. john kasich 2 percent. mike huckabee 2 percent. chris christie 2 percent. rick santorum 1 percent. jim gilmore 0 percent. for two of those candidates, their race to the white house is over. low support has caused both democrat martin o'malley to pull out of the race. huckabee won the iowa caucus in 2008 but never polled high this round. today the candidates turn their attention to new hampshire... it's next up in the early voting primary is now fast approaching. voters there will show their support february ninth... that's just one week away. the caucus crowd filters out today as significant snow threatens the state. channel 13's josh nguyen joins us now live from the des moines international airport. josh,

martin o'malley registered zero. one participant says it helped older voters who had seen it all before. >> i think the people that me had been to other caucuses in their other lives before they moved. they probably knew what to expect. >> the idea behind the satellite caucus site would encourage those with limited mobility to participate in a location not just close to home but literally at their retirement home, and based on whatat we heardfter the event it seemed like the satellite idea very much a hit. live in iowa city, dave, kcrg tv 9 news. >>> many iowans are taking part in the caucuses for the first time. >> thatncludes a group at roosevelt middle school in dubuque. >> some republican reaction tonight. katie? >> reporter: well, the big story tonight is the sheer number of people who showed up to caucus. there were more than 2,000 people here at roosevelt middle & school. it was so crowded the fire marshsh cut after the number of people inside the auditorium at 850. all those people went into the gym. that was

and martin o'malley down the list there. scenario in many spotin the state. >> i think that's right. sanders really came on late, got his people out, turnout is one of t biggest questions, maybe not as big a turnout for the trump supporters as people thought cominin in, b b bernie sanders was able to get people and catch the momentum. >> wilill we see martin o'malley again? >> i think this is the end. >> all right, we'll see what happens. still ahead, we look at the repuican, and steve king stops by, intudio to discuss the accusations of dirty politics used by himim and the cruz us. >>the statatof iowa has spoken. iowa has sent notice, that the republican nominee and the next president of the united states will n be chosen by the media (chcheering) but will be chosen by the most incredible, powerful force e where alsovereignty resides in our nation by we, the people - the american peop >>we finished 2nd and i want to ll you something. i'i' just honored. i'm really honod. i want to congratulate ted and i want to congratulate

democratic candidate martin o'malley also in the metro making a final push. he kicked off a canvassing event in johnston this afternoon where he urged supporters to remain strong. mr. o'malley: we all face a tough fight. i have always been drawn to a tough fight. todd: you can hear more from o'malley and his supporters later in this newscast. on the republican side, the final register poll shows donald ted cruz has fallen to second with 23%. marco rubio in a distant third with just 13%. right now, ted cruz hosting a pre-caucus rally at the iowa state fairgrounds. he focused on how he would fight isis n.y.c., not donald trump, is the best candidate for the nomination. -- sen. cruz: have a president willing to utter the words radical islamic terrorism. we will not weaken, we will not degrade, we will utterly and completely destroy isis. todd: donald trump also in iowa today. he started his morning at a middle school in council bluffs. he criticized ted cruz's voter mr. trump: he is putting in houses "voter violation". i have never heard of anything like this. it

that is that hillary clinton might, in fact, be supporting martin o'malley.he falls below 15%, his supporters have to scatter and take a camp to go to, and many people -- effectively how on earth would hillary clinton know this for starters, and then, b, how would she possibly get her supporters in those various precincts to actually make some kind of a move over to o'malley's camp, if, in fact, the reporting is true? >> well, you know, look, we'll have to see if that happens tonight. this is what can be said about hillary clinton's campaign here in iowa. it has been built for the past year. they have precinct captains at every one of these. they know by and large how many people are going to show up to support them if they have reached the threshold and they're fine and they're going to win by a large margin. then they do want to take out bernie sanders. at the same time they're going to be trying to coerce martin o'malley supporters to come to their side, as is the bernie sanders campaign as well. it just goes to show you how much is at stake right now and

sanders received 49.6 percent to martin o'malley's half of a percent. in des moines there is one precinct that hasn't called it in. even with the missing precinct sanders couldn't make up the difference. fox news is waiting to call it. this is still incredibly close. to give you a sense of what the numbers really mean almost 1400 state delegates were up for grabs. clinton gets 4 more delegates than sanders. she kept her speech focused on the positive. >> when it is all said and done, we have to be united against a republican vision and candidates who would drive us apart and divide us. that is not who we are my friends. >> the sander's camp was ecstatic. the des moines register had him down by 41 points. now the results have him down three tenths of one percent. voters are sending a strong message. >> i think the people of iowa have sent a very profound message to the political establishment, to the economic establishment and by the way, to the media establishment. (cheers) >> now martin o'malley took a look at the results and bowed out. there was no pa

do.that's what we i think it was great. >> our viewers who are watching milli miller a rick martin o'malley supporter ended up in the bernie sanders camp. tell us the process by which you came to that. all, o'malley wasn't viable so we had to split up our o'malley people. i really didn't think it was fair to tell people where to go. their idea who their second choice was and they made of the 25 i'm guessing approximately ten went to bernie 15 went to clinton. that's how it split out of the in.w that i was how did i come to go to bernie, between all three candidates as far as the issues go. was trying to -- originally i supported o'malley because he was even to the left of bernie and hillary. really like martin's appeal. he was young, energetic and kind kennedy.g robert and that's what i really liked about him. e would get up on stage and roll up his sleeves and he would go for it. was not viable to go to bernie sanders. >> i planned ahead of time to do that. reason.s a once again, they are so close nd i'm going to vote for whatever candidate comes out of this. don't have any animosity towar

martin o'malley supporters speaking up...really pressing for o'malley?oh you bet! so when he announced he was running i was really excited. once the votes are cast, caucus officials will use an app or call in to submit their results.hillary is the one who needs to be in there, i mean she's the one..she's got the experience. 3 democrats choosing between three candidates tonight... only two of which had major support.as of now, with 50 percent of precincts statewide reporting...hillary clinton looks like the winner.here's a breakdown of the results... again, this is with 50 percent of precints statewide reporting.clinton has 51 percent...sanders has 48 percent...and o'malley has 1 percent.in woodbury county,,, the numbers look like this... clinton has 48 percent... sanders has 52 percent...and o'malley has 0 percent.up highway 75 in plymouth county...clinton has 55 percent...sanders has 45 percent...and o'malley has 0 percent.and in sioux county... clinton has 39 percent... sanders has 61 percent...and o'malley has 0 percent. 3 several precincts of sioux city republi

martin o'malley says he's out. jeb bush who we interviewed earlier today did not perform well tonight. he wasn't expected to. he left early for new hampshire, which is the next primary state. we'll see if he can do well there and continue on to our voters in florida, but it's a tough night for jeb bush, great night for marco rubio. we'll break down the numbers more in depth with our political analyst dr. susan mcmanis later in this newscast. i'm keith cate reporting from des moines, iowa, site of the 2016 first in the nation caucus. >> real quick before you go for a second, i just have a question. these numbers are so tight on both sides of the aisle. when you were there in the room while they were caucusing, did things get heated? is it like a debate or is this all like very civilized conversation they're having for two or three hours? it was so interesting for me to watch. again i wondered how. i went looking for video of caucuses and didn't find very much, so i was excited to get in there and watch the process.

none of the caucus goers were uncommitteed..an d none caucused for martin o'malley. elias: at ((time check)) we'll take a morning iowa... sabrina: coming up, a look at one factor that kept democrats looking for results late into the night. the night. elias: before we go.... a quick look at traffic... this is i-235 at valley west...

could it all come down to martin o'malley? let's go "outfront." >>> and good evening, i'm erin burnett, welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world tonight who are watching in this countdown to the iowa caucuses. this is a very special edition of "outfront" we're live from des moines, the capital of iowa. after seven months of one of the most unpredictable presidential campaigns in history. i don't know if we need to put the word "most," not one of, it is the most, we're a day away from the first real votes. tonight the race between the front-runners of both parties is simply too close to call. donald trump holds a 5-point lead over ted cruz accord together latest "des moines register" poll widely seen as the gold standard of polls. the latest c poll of polls which measures all the polls is in close agreement at this hour. showing trump ahead of cruz 31-25%. we are looking live at pictures from sioux city in iowa. we are awaiting donald trump to be taking that stage momentarily. about to hold one of his la

martin o'malley got zero percent.and in sioux county... clinton got 48 percent... sanders got 51 percent..... and o'malley got zero percent. 3 3 texas senator ted cruz is this year's republican iowa cuacus winner.here are how@the numbers break down for the top six candidates in iowa: cruz with 28 percent... donald trump with 24 percent... marco rubio with 23 percent... ben carson with 9 percent... rand paul with 5 percent... and jeb bush with 3 percent.but it looks like donald trump won woodbury county... with 100 percent of the vote counted... cruz was just behind him followed by rubio... carson... rick santorum... and rand paul rounding out the top six.in plymouth county the top 6 are trump... cruz... rubio... carson... bush... and paul.and in sioux county... the top six are cruz... rubio... carson... trump... paul... and santorum.that's all for now... have a great day! 3 3 3 blizzard warning has been issued for today through be very windy with heavy >>> there is no shadow to be cast! >> did you hear that? that means approximate phil predicts an early spring on th

and 1% for martin o'malley of baltimore. >> and we do have some reported news on martin o'malley. this is a live shot of his celebration venue for tonight. >> maybe the saddest picture in all of politics tonight. >> alex seitz-wald reporting tonight that martin o'malley is expected to suspend his campaign during his speech tonight after the iowa results come in. we just saw him at 1% right now at the current tally in iowa. that's not too much of a surprise. he's also been in some pretty serious money trouble, which you would expect given his distant third place in the polls. right now in terms of cash on hand hillary clinton's got about $38 million cash on hand. bernie sanders, $28 million cash on hand. martin o'malley, reported cash on hand, $169,000. and the "new york times" reporting today that a lot of not just his senior staff but also his junior staff has been working for free. and no matter how much passion you've got for your candidate, that's not sustainable, especially when you turn in a number like this in iowa. so again, we are expecting the campaign of governor martin

senator bernie sanders congratulating clinton and martin o'malley who suspended his campaign. >> i want to thank o'malley. i lost more than one campaign, but he should note that he contributed a whole lot, up to the dialup, that he ran for the campaign and he won the respect of the american people. >> i don't hear a lot about my kids future coming from the republican side. so, i switched to democratic -- >> the real winners were the voters who turned out in record numbers with precincting reports double, even triple what they expected. >> everyone here thanks you. >> and now, on to new hampshire. that primary just one week away. i'll have much more on the republican race coming up in the next half hour. live outside the museum, wusa9. >>> and get the latest on election 2016 on the wusa9 app. it is free for your android and apple device. >>> 6:03 now. here are some of the other stories, police have identified a man who was shot to death saturday in capital heights. he was 45-year-old, gilbert hall iii of northeast d.c. and his killer is still on the loose this morning. >>> it took police

let's start with a poor showing by martin o'malley, the fox election center is learning that the o'malley campaign will be suspended. o'malley will be giving it up after tonight. also, we're hearing reports from the clinton camp that there is nervous energy in that room. confidence ultimately that clinton may prevail, but some concern as well because she is only leading by about one and a half percent. and if you look specifically at the precincts that have not yet reported, these are precincts where we've seen a big spike in voter registration. if you look at the entrance goers are breaking for bernie sanders, also, we have a number of precincts where -- around college towns you would expect younger voters to turn out, those have not yet reported, and the entrance polling showing they are breaking substantially overwhelmingly for bernie sanders. so while you're seeing numbers on your screen that look favorable to hillary clinton, it is still too close to call. >> we will be checking back with you throughout the night to see how things change over there in des moines. thank you so much. w

. >> amanda: the big naus on the democratic side is martin o'malley dropped on it officially, suspending his campaign. he made that announcement about 30 minutes ago. and, of course, hillary clinton and bernie sanders still too close to call. clnt has a their row martin, talking .4% and the biggest news of the night, marco rubio. people are calling it is marco momentum. >> matt: there is so much suspense about marco rubio and ted cruz. he finished third and within one trump. of course, ted cruz the winner of the iowa caucus on the vote. you mentioned already martin o'malley dropping out on. on the republican side, rick santorum told the des moines register he will now look at the numbers and evaluate the future of his campaign. mike huckabee says he has suspended his campaign. >> amanda: another big talk in the media center, governor branstad telling people not to vote for ted cruz. whether it was a mistake or not, again, ted cruz the winner tonight and speaking of the republican party, the chair is on stage, very loud in here right now. here in des moines for sure. >> matt: one thing yo

martin o'malley at 1%. steve: on the republican side, ted cruz still in the lead with -- in the league. marco rubio moving up a couple percentage points with 21%. ben carson still at 10%. rand paul, jeb bush, john kasich, carly fiorina all in a singng digits. as we move down the line to mike huckabee, chris christie, rick santorum all in the low single digits. stacey: now we want to check in with cynthia fodor. she is live in downtown des moines. cynthia: you just heard a few moments ago, republicans excited also, democratic caucuses lined out the door. we have eric from the -- a republican strategist here in iowa. what are you hearing about turnout from the democrats? >> it has been high on our side, too. i tried to run to different caucus locations and get more forms. i heard the state chair for the republican party say they are having a terrific night. i think both parties are, and that is a good thing for iowa. cynthia: and people were enthusiastic. does this surprise you, the record turnout? >> no. wha

on the democratic side the iowa caucus has already forced former maryland governor martin o'malley out of the race but the caucus, he wasn't doing well at all. it is a fight between main stream candidate hillary clinton and anti establishment candidate vermont senator bernie sanders. >> i'm excited about really getting into the debate with senator sanders about the best way forward. >> i think about what happened tonight, i think the people of iowa have sent a very profound message to the political establishment. >> also, somebody else we didn't mention fell out of the race, that is former governor of arkansas mike huckabee. he stopped his campaign, right after the caucus finished up. >>> lets get back to our area comedian bill cosby will be in court this morning for a hearing. >> this is first time since criminal sexual assault charges were brought against him. his defense will argue an allege prior deal could stand in the way of cosby being prosecuted. >> deal from almost ten years ago, dave. >> reporter: yeah, that is right, ten years ago, that is one of the big questions here that
