Current Events Warmup Activity

For the Rebublicans in the Iowa Caucus, Cruz came in first at 28% with Trump in second at 24% and Rubio in third with 23%. Ben Carson got 9%, Jeb Bush got 3%, and Carly Fiorina got 2%. Christie, Kasich, Santorum, Huckabee, and Gilmore all got 0% of the delegates. Trump coming in second is a big deal because he has long been seen as the favorite of the Republican party.
For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton barely squeaked by Bernie Sanders with a .3% difference. Martin O'Malley, with .6%, has dropped out. I think this is very important for Bernie Sanders because it shows that he is gaining popularity. Hopefully, it will continue to grow and he will be elected president.
