WATCH LIVE: Ted Cruz speaks following the Iowa caucus

Texas Senator Ted Cruz is scheduled to speak out Monday night following the Iowa caucus where he will be addressing his supporters, fresh off of his projected win in the state.

Cruz's campaign made a major push heading into Iowa and climbed up the polls to 2nd place with 24%, trailing behind Donald Trump by only , according to a recent Des Moines Register poll.

During the final debate ahead of the Iowa caucuses Cruz took a page out of the absent front-runner Donald Trump's book by attacking the Fox News moderators' questions by saying, '"Gosh, if you guys ask me one more mean question, I may have to leave the stage."

Cruz's Election Night Watch Party is at the Iowa State Fair Monday night.
