Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz won the Iowa caucus on Monday night with a decent 28 to 24 advantage over rival Donald Trump, giving him momentum as the February 9 primaries in New Hampshire approaches.
However, reports on Tuesday claimed that Cruz’s campaign told Iowa caucus-goers that retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, 64, has stepped out of the race, citing a CNN report.
CNN reported that Carson would be going back to his home state of Florida, and moving to Washington D.C. for prayer and breakfast. While nowhere in the report did it say that Carson was giving up, Cruz’s campaign went ahead and told some precinct captains about the rumor, just before the caucuses began
