    Browns release statement on Johnny Manziel's future in Cleveland

    Clinton takes Iowa, beating back Sanders' strong challenge
    NEWBURY, N.H. — Next up: New Hampshire. Presidential contenders on Tuesday turned their airplanes and their hopes to the next arena in the fight for the nominations, a state that will test Ted Cruz's broader appeal and give Hillary Clinton a chance to reinvigorate her battered campaign in the Granite State.
