Despite currently holding second-place in the polls and coming in a close third in the Iowa Republican Caucuses Monday night, former Trump UN Ambassador Nikki Haley appears to have shifted gears. Critics are citing remarks she made Tuesday that, some suggest, show she may be trying to run for vice president.

"You're the only woman in this race," CNN's Dana Bash reminded Haley in a face-to-face interview. "How do you feel about your party's frontrunner being held liable for sexual abuse?"

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis efforts building a $130 million springboard designed to catapult him into the White House resulted only in a political bellyflop that will likely see him sink, Iowa Caucus insiders say in a new report.

"Iowa instead became a field of nightmares for DeSantis," writes The Messenger's Marc Caputo. "The more he built his campaign there, the more voters didn’t come."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) proudly proclaimed success Monday even though he finished 30 points behind Donald Trump in the Iowa Caucuses Monday — still, he's in it to win it.

The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that DeSantis doesn't have much of a campaign in New Hampshire after having gone all-in on Iowa. Former Gov. Nikki Haley, who finished third Monday, is getting more credit for finishing so closely behind DeSantis without spending more than $150 million on her campaign.

Donald Trump easily won the Iowa Republican caucus, and that could be great news for President Joe Biden.

Polling has shown that most undecided voters remain unsure if Trump would be the GOP nominee, but the former president's overwhelming win in the first primary could snap this year's race into focus as a rematch of the 2020 election — and help Biden stop his slide in approval ratings, reported The Messenger.

Republican caucusgoers in Iowa tossed their ballots for their choice of GOP presidential nominee into supermarket brown paper bags Tuesday night in chaotic scenes captured on video. In one, caucusgoers walk up and toss their ballots into a HyVee Supermarket bag, in another the brown bag is passed around. In both videos the word "ballots" is written in magic marker at the top of the bag. Critics are calling out the possibility of fraud and claiming hypocrisy by the party that says it is focused on election integrity.

"Voters jotted their candidate on sheet of paper before they were all collected in a brown grocery bag," notes WFAA senior reporter Jason Whitely in this video that has received over half-a-million views.
