Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said as the Nevada caucus results rolled in, that he believed things were “starting to happen.”

Real estate mogul Donald Trump was declared the victor in the Tuesday caucuses, though preliminary results were too close to call second and third place which showed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in a tight race.

Carson noted from his Las Vegas headquarters that there were “enthusiastic crowds and I believe things are starting to happen here.”

It wasn’t immediately clear what the retired neurosurgeon meant by “things” and what location he was referring to as “here.”

“I know that the pundits and the political class they want to call everything and they say it’s all done, and over,” Carson said. “You may as well go home and do the coronation now, but you know what? I believe that they’re wrong.”
