Good evening. And we begin tonight with the new battle just six days before the New Hampshire primary. Tonight, donald trump blasting ted cruz, saying he stole iowa using, quote, dirty tricks. And then cruz, shooting back. Donald trump saying cruz misled voters by hinting to them that ben carson might be getting out of the race, even though that was not the case. Cruz charging back, surrounded by cameras today, saying that trump is, quote, losing it. Even questioning his temperament, whether trump is ready to be president. Tonight, right here, how this all played out today, just three days before the big republican debate. Abcs tom llamas, leading us off from New Hampshire. Reporter tonight, donald trump accusing senator ted cruz of using dirty tricks to win the iowa caucuses. The accusation coming after team cruz spread word on caucus day that dr. Ben carson might be dropping out. He insulted ben carson by doing what he did to ben carson. That was a disgrace. Reporter on the day of the caucuses, the Cruz Campaign stating the presss reporting that carson is taking time off after iowa and making a big announcement next week. It goes on to say, please inform any carson caucusgoers of this news and urge them to caucus for ted cruz. What he did is unthinkable. He said the man has just left the race and he said it during the caucus. Reporter carson today saying the cruz move cost him votes, describing what happened when his wife, candy, showed up at a caucus location. My wife went to a caucus and the cruz representative had spoken and told people that i was, in fact, not going to be continuing. And she obviously disabused him of that notion. Reporter cruz has now apologized to carson, but stands by his campaigns actions. Will you fire or suspend anyone in your campaign for putting out misinformation . No, were not going to scapegoat anybody. And i would note that the news was true and accurate. Cnn reported it, and, in fact, ben did go to florida instead of New Hampshire or south carolina, and so reporter is it a dirty trick to confuse voters . Is it a dirty trick to pass on your news stories . Youre in the business. Would you think it was a dirty trick if i was forwarding an abc story . Or is it just a dirty trick to pass on cnns story . Reporter then, just moments after cruz said that, cnn, live on the air, saying cruz was trying to, quote, throw them under the bus. Here are the facts. Dr. Carsons staff told us that he would return home to florida to quote unquote take a breath resuming his activities on the campaign trail. Reporter cnn saying they never reported anything about a special announcement. Trump now calling for an investigation. Well, listen, it is no surprise that donald is throwing yet another temper tantrum, or tantrum. Reporter cruz then taking it further. Be comfortable with someone who behaves this way, having his finger on the button. I mean, were liable to wake up denmark. And tom llamas with us live tonight in New Hampshire. And tom, youve reported there, cruz has now apologized to ben carson. Does dr. Carson accept the apology . Reporter david, i just got off the phone with the carson campaign. They tell me that dr. Carson does accept cruzs apology. But earlier today, carson did imply that cruz staffers should be fired, only if cruz did not approve of their actions. David . Tom llamas leading us off again tonight. Tom, thank you. And with just six days now until had New Hampshire primary, Hillary Clinton arguing shes now in a battle on Bernie Sanders home turf. Shes behind by double digits and getting help today from former congresswoman gabby giffords. But sanders telling reporters, there is still a fight, even if its right next door to his home state, saying the clintons have been campaigning in New Hampshire for years. Abcs cecilia vega on the expectations game tonight. Im going to be out here what she calls his home turf. Because if its about our records, hey, im going to win by a landslide on tuesday. Reporter trailing by double digits here, shes now swinging. I have to tell you, i just could not ever skip New Hampshire. I cannot even imagine not being here. Reporter the Granite State might be in sanders backyard, but this is clinton country. The place that moved her to tears back in 2008 you know, this is very personal for me. Reporter and embraced her husband, years earlier. Thank you very much. Reporter but now . A new battle. Let me rephrase it. When we win here. Reporter the vermont senator asked if Hillary Clinton is really a progressive ah, some days, yes. Except when she announces that she is a proud moderate. Reporter hitting her where it hurts. It was kind of a low blow, progressive fight and getting and cecilia vega live with us as well, tonight. In the beginning, cecilia, it was Bernie Sanders who wanted more debates. Now its Hillary Clinton. And both now have agreed to several more . David. Will be six more debates, one right here tomorrow night in New Hampshire, and now, one, also in know, david, they have been dealing with that water crisis. Us tonight. Cecilia, thank you. Before New Hampshire, word that two candidates might soon be out of the race. Rand paul says he is out. He will now focus on his reelection to the senate. And then rick santorum. He won iowa four years ago. Tonight, hes expected to drop out of the race a bit later. Lets get right to abcs jonathan karl. Because we do have one more question on politics before we move on. This fight tonight between donald trump and ted cruz over those messages suggesting ben carson was dropping out on the day of the iowa caucuses. Is this going away, jon . Reporter absolutely not, david. And, you know, trump is now be nullified. Thats not going to happen. But if there is one thing that we have learned about donald trump, its that when he strikes a nerve, when he gets a rise out of one of his opponents, he continues to hammer and hammer and hammer away at it. He certainly has gotten a rise out of ted cruz on this. I dont think he lets go of this until either he or cruz is out of the race and, let me tell you, the person that likes this the best is marco rubio. The one who now sees the two people that came in ahead of him in iowa locked in a death match. All right, the debate stage looks pretty darn good there behind you, jon. Thank you so much. Of course, this all comes just three days before the republican debate, right here on abc.

Reporter again, the magic number is 28 days. The red cross is recommending that anyone who has been to a country where zika virus is transmitting, defer donating blood for 28 days.
