The Florida Senator tossed around a pig skin with his sons Dominic and Anthony and other children in a Des Moines suburb this evening. Tomorrow he's taking his family to the fair.

The presidential hopeful was playing catch with his sons and a few Iowans between pork chops at a picnic on Monday night when he let the pigskin slip.

Marco Rubio had a response for Ted Cruz who has been labeling him the 'Republican Obama' in new attacks ads – a shrug and a smile.

Marco Rubio slapped Ted Cruz again today by setting expectations for him to win tomorrow night's Iowa caucuses, which polls predict will go to longtime GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.

Marco Rubio plans to stand head and shoulders above the competition – that is, if he does well tomorrow night in Iowa. Rubio told folks hey might be seeing those infamous black high-heeled booties.

Senator Elizabeth Warren kept up her frenetic - and compressed - campaign schedule by storming into Ames, Iowa for an event at the Iowa State University Memorial Union Sunday.

After some candidates have campaigned for more than a year, Monday night's Iowa caucuses will finally kick off the Democrats' presidential primary race.

Sen. Bernie Sanders will win the first delegates of the Iowa caucus, largely thanks to a group of Ethiopian immigrants who work at a pork processing plant.

Voting officials admitted a string of failures in a panicked conference call which saw their app collapse, the backup call center not working, and local officials fail to record results properly.

The former South Bend, Indiana, mayor, 38, declared himself the sensational victor in Iowa despite there being no official results because an app crashed and results are delayed for hours.

Democratic presidential candidates deployed across New Hampshire Tuesday for campaign events, after a snafu in Iowa kept the state party from releasing results.

State party chairman Troy Price informed campaigns that he would release at least 50% of results at 5 p.m. EST, but he declined say when the party would release the full results - including who won.

Almost 24 hours after Iowans caucused Democrats unveiled two-thirds of the voting results giving Pete Buttigieg 26.9% of state delegates, just ahead of Bernie Sanders.

Iowa Democrats trickled out another 9% of the overall results more than 24 hours after the caucuses ended, with no end in sight to a fiasco which means Buttigieg's win is only self-proclaimed.

'I'm really disappointed that some of our technology created an issue that made the caucus difficult,' said Gerard Niemira, the CEO and chairman Shadow Inc, in an interview Tuesday.

Bush found himself in the fryer during a speech from the fair's soap box, fending off hostile questions from audience members disillusioned by his older brother's domestic and foreign policies.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's relentless recent attacks on Ted Cruz, his closest rival for the primary nomination, appear to be paying off in the Hawkeye State.

'Cruz is going down. He's like a nervous wreck. He's going down,' The Donald said during a Las Vegas rally. He also hammered a CNN analyst who said if Trump didn't win Iowa by 10, it would be a loss.

Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush is planning to ditch the frozen cornfields of Iowa for - hopefully - sunnier skies in New Hampshire even before Iowans caucus next Monday.

The last desperate search for voters to back their causes was under way in Iowa - with the man trolled by Donald Trump as 'low-energy' apparently offering $25 an hour to come to his final campaign rally.

Merle Gorman, 83, who previously served in the United States Marine Corp, made international news after he accused Biden of selling access to the Presidency through son Hunter.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (seen with Senator Bernie Sanders in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Sunday) was reportedly upset by the Sanders campaign touting an endorsement from Joe Rogan (inset).

'At this moment in time, this is not the purpose God has for me,' Delaney , 56, said as he dropped out. The former Congressman had spent millions of his own fortune and spent most of his time in Iowa.
