candidates in endorsements from local elected officials. especially in a place like iowa where we have a strong team getting people like local mayors and state legislators to caucus in those rooms, it makes a difference. that's why i'm feeling really strong. from bill clinton to john kerry, people who were considered behind and surged, even won in iowa. we are showing the same pathway to the presidency that everybody from jimmy carter to barack obama showed. but look, i'll be clear. we have to keep raising money. that's why you've heard me from the debate stage make an appeal for people who believe in this theme, unifying theme, call to civic race for us to heal and show that the lines that divide us are not as strong as the ties that bind us. if people believe in that, we're hoping they'll go to cory booker.com, keep us in this race. help us to grow in those states. >> this was the first debate since the house began its official impeachment inquiry of president trump. how did that affect the dynamic on the debate stage last night?
