Unacceptable. So again, we will have a thorough and independent review of exactly what happened last night. Right now, we are in the process of making sure that we get the results out. That is what we will stay focused on. Donald trump has suggested that this whole process is rigged. How do you combat that or assure the americans that it is something that we can trust the data . We have said all along, that we would make the caucuses more transparent, and this year, we are reporting out more data than we have ever reported before and in addition to that, we have paper trails that we have never had before. So we will take the time to verify the results, but the results are based off of what happened in the precincts last night. Are you feeling the pressure to step aside. When i ran for chair, i made a commitment to see the caucus process through. That is what i am working on. That is what i will continue to work on, and whatever happens that, it is to be determined. Anyway, thank you all, folks, the results are coming in, and we will see you later. All right. So that is it. That is troy price. Lets see if they make the announcement right now, and he says 62 of the precincts have reported. And they believe that these are accurate and responsiblresponsi 38 are still missing right now, and he did not answer repeated questions from our own jeff zeleny of when, when, the remaining 38 of the precincts will have the results in. This is obviously a huge problem with 2 3 of the precincts reporting, but 1 3 at large or unknown. So it is a serious problem right now. We are getting new information even as we hear what is going on there at the media center in des moines. Reporters, photographers, they are getting ready all right. I think that we have a key race alert right now. All right. First of all it says 95 , but it is not 95 , because it is 62 , and that is a mistake right there. But take a look with 62 of the precincts reporting, you can see that you are going to the left part of the screen, and buttigieg is 26. 9 . Sanders with 25. 1 , and warren is 18. 1 , and biden is 16. 1 , and klobuchar with 12. 6 , and so now it is corrected with 62 of the precincts reporting there. By the way, you can see bloomberg is zero percent and Tulsi Gabbard at zero percent as well. Now, let me repeat, this is 62 of the precincts reporting and the state delegates and the all important state delegates to determine the winner of the iowa caucuses, and once again, Pete Buttigieg with 26. 9 of the state delegates, and Bernie Sanders with 25. 1 , and Elizabeth Warren with 18. 3 . Right now, over there in fourth place 15. 6 , and klobuchar is 12. 6 , and yang is 1. 1 , and steyer is 0. 3 . And so looking at Pete Buttigieg who is behind Bernie Sanders in the popular vote. And joe biden in fourth place. And Amy Klobuchar in fifth. And andrew yang, you can see him over there with 1,124. And that is the popular vote that is being released from the Iowa Democratic party. And remember the popular vote is interesting, but it is the state delegates who are going to determine the win over the iowa caucuses, and you can see with 62 of the precincts reporting, among the state delegates, Pete Buttigieg is in the lead right now with 26. 9 . And Bernie Sanders is in second place with 25. 1 , and 18. 3 for Elizabeth Warren, and joe biden in fourth with 15. 6 . But, remember 38 of the precincts remain at large. We dont have those results yet, and the Party Chairman troy price did not tell us when we would get the remaining precincts. We are walking over the David Chalian and over here this way to David Chalian who was over there, and now over here. And so a little bit of the analysis here, and we have a difference of the state delegates, and who is number one and the popular vote who is number one. So your mission, explain. I am going to do my best. So start with the state delegates that you see right here, wolf. As you noted, Pete Buttigieg is on top with 26. 9 of those state delegate equivalents, and he is followed by Bernie Sanders at 25. 1, and they are kind of in the tier by themselves. This is the metric that matters and what we will end up projecting the winner of the iowa caucuses, and think of it like the Electoral College in the general election, but there is also the popular vote total to date. And we have never had this information before. The Iowa Democratic party is now putting out the popular vote total, and look at the different order here. Bernie sanders is atop at 28,220 and he is 1,990 votes ahead of Pete Buttigieg. So you can see the different order in the popular vote. 24 is precisely what Bernie Sanders and the allies were envisioning when they wooed the Democratic Party to change their rules in the way that the Iowa Democratic caucuses are conducted, because they wanted the popular vote total reported, because they could run up the score with the young people in the college towns, but the way that the caucuses work, wolf, if you have support everywhere across the state, you can collect more delegates, and that is the important metric for who wins. Now, it is only 62 reporting, and it is not that he cannot win the delegate count tonight, but it is more important when it comes out, and because of the way that the caucuses are run, you could turn out a lot of people in some areas, but capped on how many delicates are available there. So Pete Buttigieg, the all important metric and take a look again, over here. 26. 9 of the delegates, and he is in the lead, wolf. But as you point out with 38 of the precincts not reporting this could change and still plenty of opportunity for the candidates to be reordered one, two, three and four. John king, you are looking at the numbers as closely as anyone. Critically important is the point that you made, 62 . These colors could change. But looking at the colors right now, and this is what we hope to take you through last night, and take you through it, the lighter green is Pete Buttigieg. And the counties led by Pete Buttigieg, and the gray is not there and the white is look agent a tie. The green, the depth and the breadth of the organization of the former mayor buttigieg, and he said he would run everywhere in iowa, and not done yet, but 62 , and this is proof that the buttigieg did what it said it would do, organize and turn out the voters. Looking at Bernie Sanders, the strength there in the east where he was success nfl 2016, but look at the margins in a minute when we are closer to it, and i wanted to go through the colors. The dark green is Amy Klobuchar who is down here at 12. 6 challenging former Vice President joe biden and this is a disappointment for biden at 15. 6 . And again, 62 . But we will see what happens. As you are looking, he is the former Vice President of the United States, and a half dozen counties where joe biden is getting the bulk of the delegates, and leading in the delegate chase. Elizabeth warren not a county, but organization wide, coming in second and third, but not winning it out. And klobuchar . The klobuchar, it is interesting to look along the minnesota border, and she did well there, and look down here, she also did well in other pockets of the state. Over here in the eastern part of the state and bringing it out, 25 of delaware county. So had we been reporting this last night, we would have been having a different conversation and a statewide map here. It is the depth of this number one, the buttigieg organization and the strength of the buttigieg turnout of the organization, precinct by precinct is impressive and the votes will come in and move it down in case it changes while we are here. We dont know how quickly they will give us more, and if the colors are changing, it is more data coming in. And so this is the strength of the twoperson race, but Bernie Sanderss strength is here in 2016, and so we wanted to see how he does here in 2020. And sanders, and buttigieg and warren, and so he is not getting the big boost like he did against Hillary Clinton. Over here in johnson county, one of the most progressive in the state, even split between mayor buttigieg and senator klobuchar coming in behind there. And so where he stretched it out against Hillary Clinton four years ago in a more crowded race with the competition from senator warren, and come over here, and holds up, scott county, this is Bernie Sanders territory four years ago, and mayor buttigieg getting the delegates there as we continue to count the vote. What do we have here . Obviously, a competitive race, and mayor buttigieg waited to come out to declare victory and we will see if it holds, because we have still 38 of the vote to come in, but it is the spread, and again, one of the reasons that the Biden Campaign wants you the move on to New Hampshire is because that is a bad number for the former Vice President. And looking at the colors as we are looking at the state of iowa. The white is undecided, right . It is a tie. If you are going into the counties here, and you can see it is a dead heat. 26. 7, and 26. 7. Thank you for the question. Anything in white and maybe it is looking gray to you at home, but it is a tie. And the lighter green is buttigieg, and lighter blue is Bernie Sanders is the one that you will see the most of on the map here, and senator warren here not leading in any of the counties, but still getting 18. 3 of the delegates and we will see if it is changing, and this is going to have to be viewed as a disappointment for the Biden Campaign. And so we will watch the rest of this filling in, and that is my fault for touching the county. And bring you the map back out here and filling in 62 of the vote, and 41 delegates at stake, and right now buttigieg with the bragging rights. He was declaring the victory last night for all purposes around midnight. And regard this 62 of the precincts reporting and 38 of the precincts and still not reporting, but is this much of a surprise, john, that Pete Buttigieg with 62 of the precincts reporting he is on top . With 62 of the precincts reporting. And he would say no. Everybody said that a small town mayor could not do this, and he says he is. And so is this a surprise . Sure. Bernie sanders ran before and Elizabeth Warren had a strong summer, and that is the former twoterm Vice President of the United States, and mayor buttigieg has bragging rights if this holds up that it is an impressive cast of candidates there, and further, senator klobuchar from the neighboring minnesota, and so, yes, this is impressive looking at it. I highlighted the counties, because the 31 counties highlighted on the map, and buttigieg did well and that is the klobuchar, and you can see that these are the 31 pivot counties of iowa of the 99 total, 31 counties voted twice for barack obama and then flipped to donald trump. It is a huge source of anger among the Iowa Democrats saying that we have to get these counties back. And buttigieg said that is where he would compete the hardest, because he wanted to bring the places where trump won back to Democratic Party. So he is capable of beating President Trump in the general election, that would seem to suggest in this context with 62 of the precincts reporting, he has a point. Well, he is winning the democrats in the county, but we dont know about the republicans or the independents and look closely at the turnout, and david is going through the exit polls, but he can say in the 31 counties, the ones that he won in the 31 counties that twice for obama and once for trump, he said that is where he wanted to focus and prove that a guy from the midwest could compete and flip the counties, and that is because he is winning them now, it is going to hold up, but because it is in the end, he is going to look at them in november, and he went in there to prove a point, and he did. There are 41 delegates at stake from iowa, and 41 at stake if you are getting above 15 , and then you could potentially get statewide a delegate or the Congressional District that you could potentially get at least four or five maybe candidates who could potentially end up with delegates. And keep an eye on this 12. 6 for Amy Klobuchar, and she is going to get delegates to the state convention from here, but it is not enough to have her get the delegates, and we have to see what happens when the process plays out, because there is a second and third step of the process, but when we get the rest of the vote in, can she come up some there, and certainly, these candidates are going to get delegates and the question is iowa is about momentum, and tiny number of delegates to get throughout the nation, and if you have a long protracted race, and delegates count, back to the first night, and the second night and the first night is about the momentum, and reporting the results a day later, but do you get the bounce . Get hurt . People say, we have moved on the New Hampshire. Show us where some of the counties that are still outstanding, and remember, 38 of the precincts have not yet reported, and im curious, and you can show this to the viewers where some of the counties are. Well, obviously, i will turn this off, because i want to Say Something as i do this, and we are getting the information in from the state. I will go through some of them for you, and i will be perfectly honest with you that i would not bet the ranch on it, and i am somewhat reluctant, and when they say 44 of webster, and i dont know if i trust this information, because we dont know what they gave us from the state parties and until i know more about that, i am reluctant to go through the counties to say that we have 60 from this county or 80 from that county only to find out that you didnt have it. And you saw 92 that went to 62 with that glitch. So i think that we need more information before we get to that. This is a disappointment for the former Vice President of the United States . Yes, two ways to look at this. Iowa was never joe biden country, but he is also a twoterm former Vice President of the United States, right . So a former mayor of a town of 125,000 people have beating the former twoterm Vice President of the United States. Vice president to barack obama who launched his campaign to the presidency with a win in iowa. This is not joe biden country, and he says he going to be stronger in the caucuses and stronger when gets to South Carolina and another electorate towards the calling card of electability. I am the guy who can beat donald trump and the National Polls show that heading into the week, he is the most competitive democrat against donald trump in the National Polls. And john, only six counties are in the dark blue. Only six in the dark blue. You could say it is okay. Any time you want to touch, come on in, and senator klobuchar winning as many counties if not one or two more, and so you can make the case. This is the challenge, especially because we are not sure how the people are going to process it, the results coming in late, but if joe bidens calling card is that im the democrat who can beat donald trump, what you have is buttigieg and sanders and warren saying, if you cant beat us, how do you beat donald trump . Again, it is one contest and caucus and quirky and democratic voters say that priority number one is beating donald trump, and if priority number one is beating donald trump, well, buttigieg, warren and sanders convinced more iowians yesterday that they were stronger. So can joe biden put this behind him in places like New Hampshire and South Carolina and beyond. 24 is the big test for biden and does it hurt the fundraising . He was struggling when it came to fundraising or say it is a caucus state and ki moi can mov to New Hampshire and do better. So if you are looking at the depth and the breadth of what buttigieg did, he says i am the more moderate and fresher face from the midwest as opposed to the former Vice President who can go back to win, and if you are looking at this map, or this map, or bragging rights at the moment, this guy wins, wolf. He does. Okay. So 62 of the precincts are reporting and 38 of the precincts still not reporting in iowa. David chalian, we have been talking about the state delegates, and lets talk about the popular vote. And there were two popular votes the first round and the final round. You remember that is how they caucus and go into the room, and we saw it all last night. They go into the corner and express the initial preference. That is the first round. That is this round here, the first round of voting, poplular vote. And then some are deemed not viable, and didnt hit 15 threshold in the caucus, so there is a next final round. And make it a second choice. They have a chance to go to the second choice, and other campaigns who are viable have a chance to woo the candidates who were not viable into their corner, and that is the second round. So if you are looking at the first round in the popular vote, Bernie Sanders is on top, and remember, 62 reporting and this is still coming in, so this going to change, but he is on top with 27,088 and let me isolate the Bernie Sanders vote. In the final round, he got to 2 28,220. And this last column, he gained 1,132 between the first and the final round of voting, and that is a big gain, but it is not the biggest. Look at Pete Buttigieg. He got 23,666 votes in the first initial preference round. In the second round he got 27,030. Look at his differential. 3,364. At the moment, Pete Buttigieg is the biggest gainer, because of the process of the Realignment Process whether it is a Strong Organization and he knew and the team knew that in all of the caucus sites to go to pull Amy Klobuchars supporters or joe bidens supporters. And to warren and biden. And so he is the biggest to benefit from the tworound voting. Elizabeth warren in the first round, 20,848, and in the final round of voting after the realignment, she had 22,254 and again, this is 62 reporting, and these numbers are going to change as we get more vote and it wont stay in this order, but she gained 1,406 votes between the first round and the final round. Again, a sign of organization. She gained more than Bernie Sanders did between the first round and the second round. Up here he gained 1,132 and so Elizabeth Warren did well in terms of winning over as a second choice. And not as well as Pete Buttigieg. This is fascinating. Former Vice President joe biden. He actually lost votes between the two rounds. He started in his first round, and let me try to reset this, 16,179 votes. In the second final round he went down to 14,176. That means he lost 2,003 votes thus far with 62 reporting from the first to the final round. And i wanted to remind you, wolf, the new rules this cycle if you are with a candidate who is viable and hits the 15 threshold when you do the initial preference, you are locked in. You cant move. So the reason joe biden is losing some vote share is because he was not viable in a lot of the places and hit the 15 threshold in a lot of places apparently, because statewide with 62 in, he is at a net loss between the two rounds. That is, that is a real warning sign about what this night was for joe biden. What perhaps they werent as organized as they thought that they needed to be. And Amy Klobuchar and the other candidates. The other folks who lost vote share because they were not viable, and going to this side of the board, and look at Amy Klobuchar here. First round, 14,032. Final round, 13,357 and she only lost 675. And again, comparing that to the joe biden number there. And joe biden the former Vice President at this point with 62 in lost 2,000 votes, and Amy Klobuchar only lost to this point 675. And we will check in on these as the rest of the vote comes in to see. The person who lost the most between the first two rounds is and true yang. 5,760 with the initial preference round and down to 1,124 and he lost 4,636. That is again suggests to me that there were lots of places across the state that andrew yang did not hit the 15 viability threshold and his voters were up for grabs with sanders, with buttigieg, with warren, and all of the folks with the green numbers over there, and they gained from andrew yangs loss and Amy Klobuchars loss and joe bidens loss in this process. Lets take a look at tom steyer as well. He had 1,879 in the first round. In the final round he went down to 222. So he lost 1,657 votes between the first and the final round in the way that the caucuses work. So if you are looking at the red side of the ledger, lets see here if i can highlight just that column. 675, 4,636 for yang and 1,657 for steyer and then down here with joe biden, 2,003, and these were the available votes for the second round, and who did the gaining . Your three leaders right now at this moment in the evening, and that would be Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, and Elizabeth Warren. Reminder, wolf, this is the popular vote that i am talking about and not the all important determinative metric the state delegate percentages. Very important indeed. We will get the thoughts from jake and dana and what do you think . First of all, it is interesting, because it is squaring with what we saw in des moines 47, this one precinct and i dont want to get into the minut minutia, but the idea that Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren were more peoples second choice in addition to being in the top three than Bernie Sanders squares what we are seeing on the 62 vote that we are seeing. The idea that if you were with Elizabeth Klobuchar and she does not make the cut, go to warren or buttigieg, but not necessarily sanders and the same with yang and biden and that is one. Two, again, these are not the final numbers and we cant draw any grand conclusions yet, but the fact that Pete Buttigieg is performing so strongly, and we still dont know if he is going to win iowa or not, and it is looking like it is close between him and Bernie Sanders at least right now, but the fact that he is having a strong night is really a huge boost to his campaign. And while we dont know, but it seemed like he was a little premature to declare victory are la last night, he had a great night. He had a great night. He is going to be one of the three tickets t s ths out of io the first or second possession. And another thing which john king is talk about this, too, which is that we knew that iowa was not biden country. It is too white and it is just not a lot of voters who are buying his message. But the fact that somebody who this is the third president ial campaign, and he was a popular Vice President for a super popular among democrats president , and the fact that he is so experience and been in politics longer than many of the voters have been alive and the fact that he had such a poor showing in iowa is a bad sip for his campaign. I understand that he has a firewall, and he thinks that he can do well in South Carolina and ultimately, he is going to go to South Carolina and do well, and rack up on super tuesday and be the nominee, but still, the fact that his campaign is so weak in iowa and potentially in New Hampshire is going to be difficult for him when it comes to fundraising and coming to momentum which is a very important part of this president ial process. The Biden Campaign has been preparing the public whether it is the chattering class or the voters down the road for this very moment for months and months and months. We talked about the expectations game is a game for a reason in politics, because they knew that the Vice President was likely to do poorly in relation to the other candidates and many of whom Pete Buttigieg obviously first among them never mind where he actually finishes at the end of the day is, was a noname guy from a very, very small city. I mean, if you are taking a step back and think about the wow factor of that up against not just Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders who have name brand, but most importantly joe biden, it is even more abundantly clear why the former Vice President s campaign was doing that. And we should talk about Amy Klobuchar. Look, she is, you know, right now again 62 reporting about three Percentage Points behind the former Vice President. She was in Single Digits barely not that long ago, but she has worked hard. It is a neighboring state, and she is talking about minnesota nice and iowa nice and she has worked this sort of the similarity between the two of the states really, really hard, and the fact that she is there means that she can go on the live another day inham ha New Hampshire and perhaps beyond. With 62 of the precincts reporting, and assuming it stays similar, it is five tickets the out of iowa . That is the nice way to put it. I would say that Amy Klobuchar can try another state or two, but it is not great news for her campaign, but better for her. It is the money part to keep the money flowing a little bit longer. It is okay. And bidens ticket is based on the fact that he has strong support in South Carolina. That is to be honest like if he did not have the firewall there, and we would be talking about what he thinks is a firewall. We would be talking about when he is going to be dropping out of the race. I am not saying that he should, because he has strong support among the key demographic in the Democratic Party, and africanamerican voters and the last quinnipiac poll on the national level, Pete Buttigieg at zero percent with the black voters and joe biden with 49 with black voters. Now, that could change and we saw it change with obama and Hillary Clinton in 2008, and obama initially a number of the black voters were skeptical that he could win the presidency and Hillary Clinton was outpolling him until South Carolina and not until he won iowa that black voters thought that obama could do it, so maybe there is growth for Pete Buttigieg, and subtraction with joe biden. I dont know, we will see what happens. But joe bidens ticket out of iowa is entirely because he has South Carolina and the super tuesday states there, and it has nothing to do with iowa. This is a very, very bad performance for him. Yes, that is absolutely true. John king, you are continuing to look at what is going on, and once again, i want to stress that 62 of the precincts in iowa now reporting 24 hours late, but 62 , and 38 of the precincts still at large. We all agree better late than never. So this is subject to change. But to look at what david said in regards to the horse trading and jake and dana went through their experience of the one caucus site, and reporters around the country, and what are you looking at here, and i wanted to show you the depth and the breadth of the organization, and Pete Buttigieg winning big. And going tout look g touing o places that Pete Buttigieg is placing ahead. So he is in first place and that means a broad organization across the state. Almost 2 3. And go from there, right. So we showed you where he is running first. These are the counties running second. The candidate who is leading is coming up, and then buttigieg second and sorry, i let that get away from him. Coming back and coming in here, and the counties where he is running third. That is come out here and adding in first and second and now add the third, and watch when this is going away, and almost everywhere. Pete buttigieg, and you ski the whi you can see the white where it is a tie, and in other case, it is first, second or third, and in the places that he is not winning, he is still picking up delegates. By contrast, using Vice President biden. In the first, starting with the counties where he is running firsta and half dozen of those, and then you say, second . Well, bring it in here, and he is running second in some, and third in others and look at the gray. The former Vice President of the United States to jakes point, and where he was not viable, and people showed up and did not make 15 and went off to support some other candidate, and that is a lot in the state of iowa to go through the gray where a former twoterm president of the United States was not competitive. That is why the numbers are what they are. And Something Else to show you as we come back out here, and one more of those as you are looking, and looking at Elizabeth Warren where smee is right now, and at the moment, 62 not one, not one of the 99 counties is Elizabeth Warren leading. How is she getting 18 of the delegates . And again, it is the strength of the organization across that. Bringing this out and adding in where she is running second and third and the other candidates colors, and they are leading, but Elizabeth Warren is filling it in much more broadly in second and third and that is where she is picking up the delegates unlike joe biden. Klobuchar cha . Well, bring it out here and blank it out and back here, and where is she running first . A half dozen counties there, and still counting as it is going in, and how did she get more . Well, bring it back out here, and you wanted to get it out of the way and here to klobuchar for second and third. A lot of holes, and candidate without a lot of resources in the impeachment trial going on, and so that is where candidates are leading at the moment, and leading at the moment and running competitively. Some of it is because she had people show up in the end, and they merged together and viable, and that is the math that david went through and the Vice President losing votes. One more thing, wolf, this we are looking at, and those are greene countys that mayor buttigieg is leading in, and that is impressive because four years ago i wanted to look. One of the arguments that he wants to make is that he can reach out to the liberal base of the party and the middle, and take this offo to 2016. And Bernie Sanders won down here in scott county in 2016, narrowly, but he won. Then Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg here narrowly winning in a more progressive liberal area. Right now, buttigieg is winning with the decent lead there with delegates and in dubuque county, back to 2016, that is Hillary Clinton country and out here, it is more rural, and the smaller counties are blue for clinton out there, and buttigieg now. So part of the case is that this is Elizabeth Warrens case, and buttigieg is going to say, i have broad appeal across the party. One more thing, that i wanted to show you the Congressional Districts, and show you back in time here. This is the 2016 map. You can see the light blue, and that is Bernie Sanders, and 2020 and one more thing to show you how did senator sanders do in the top ten counties from four years ago and not the biggest counties, but the counties where he ran the strongest and the margin of victories are the largest and you can see it in six of Bernie Sanders top ten counties four years ago, somebody else is in the lead and right now it is not over yet, but that is an interesting perspective of how the race is different and coming back to the main map. I wanted you to explain once again for the viewers, 23450thee the state delegates equivalents because whoever gets the state delegates will win the iowa caucus, and Pete Buttigieg is ahead right now with 62 of the precincts reporting and Bernie Sanders is two. Looking at the popular vote, and you know, we are showing the viewers from the bottom of the screen, Bernie Sanders is slightly ahead of Pete Buttigieg. So you had the first vote and then you had the final vote and, yes, you look at the final vote after they realign, and the first vote, and not 15 viable, they move around and some pick up and some lose. Looking at this from the popular vote in a state that holds a primary, people go in and vote with the machine and the candidate with the most vote wins, and this is a primary. This is a caucus, and this is different in the sense that you can win a ton of votes in any one, and you are looking at Bernie Sanders color in ames or story county, and that is a good margin, but the issue is that delegate numbers are capped by precinct and region and if you win a certain precinct by 100 votes, there are so many delegates that you can win in that precinct and add them up. This is bragging rights and senator sanders will say, if this holds up, he going to say, i got the most votes and grass roots support if we get into the long protracted race and heading to milwaukee and we want the most delegates, this is what matters. It is pretty close, but this is the official barometer of victory, but because of the new rules and rules of reporting, no question, if you are the candidate with the most votes and second in the delegates, hey, look at that. Normally, when we look at this, and president ial contest and 62 of the states or the 62 in the state of the precincts reporting and 38 still at large, you would not be able to show us where the 38 is and we would get a sense of the liberal part of the state or the conservative part of the state or that, and we dont have that kind of the information at least not yet from iowa . We do not. And remember the past 24 hours, and mark me down, they will be reluctant to go to places that i dont know, because we have data from all 99 counties, but we dont know exactly. Pete buttigieg is speaking in New Hampshire right now. They are no, maam coare not majority is in, and they show our campaign in first place. So, we dont know all of the numbers, but we know this, a campaign that started a year ago with four staff members, no name recognition, no money, just a big idea. A campaign that some said should have no business even making this attempt. Has taken its place at the front of this race to replace the current president with the better vision for the future. And no matter what happens next, this much is undeniable, that fact represents an astonishing victory for this campaign, this candidacy and this vision that you all have been a part of. This validates the idea that we can have a message and the same message to connect in urban and rural and suburban communities that we can reach out to democrats and to independents and to even some future former republicans ready to bring some change to this country. It validates the way to expand the coalition around who we are against but around what it is that we are for. It validates for a kid somewhere in a community wondering if he belongs or she belongs or they belong in their own family that if you believe in yourself and your country, there is a lot backing up the belief. This is what we have been working, more than a year to convince our fellow americans that a new and better vision can bring about a new and better day. And now, we come to New Hampshire. A state that famous lly thinks r itself, and as we enter this new phase and this week ahead to convince New Hampshire to support this vision and then go on, i have never been more confident in our campaign, in our team, and in the vision that brought to us this point. It has also never been more important to gather and muster all of the support we can to get the word out. So if you are here as a believer in the message of the campaign, we need your help more than ever. We need you knocking on the doors and calling your friends and if you are at home, go to pete for america and make your donations. There are also some folks who are here to still making up their minds and i am here to ask you for your support and explain why. We are going to continue to monitor Pete Buttigieg, and he is obviously a very, very happy guy right now. We will walk over the jake and dana. He has a little emotional there. He is very pleased with 62 of the precincts reporting among the state delegates and in first place. Well, he is, and we dont know what is going to happen, and ultimately, it is still possible that Bernie Sanders will win and buttigieg second, and we have no idea, so he is taking an idea to declare victory, because second place for him is huge, and right now with 62 of the vote in, he is in first place, but i wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the emotion that he is showing there when he was talking basically without saying the words that he as the first openly gay major president ial candidate especially to do so well really is a trailblazer of sorts for all of the kids out there and adults who because of their Sexual Orientation have not necessarily felt at home even in their own families as he said. He relatively recently came out of the closet as they say. He has not been open about the identity for his whole life and just in the last few years. So it is, we, perhaps because society has evolved so much in the last decade or so, and so, george w. Bush when he ran for reelection in 2004, he was demonizing samesex marriage and now legal across the country, and so we take for granted that Pete Buttigieg is such a trailblazer for the lgbtq community, but we really should take a moment just to acknowledge it right now, because there are millions of americans for whom this is a moment of real triumph and hopefully a moment of real acceptance. That is exactly right. I am glad that you said that, because, you know, maybe, you know, people argue it is a good thing that it is, oh, okay, he is gay and he is running for president , because that is what people who have been fighting for lgbtq rights have wanted for so long that it is not a big deal, but it is a big deal. It is a big deal and that is the point that he was trying to make, and we dont know if he is going to win as jake said, but even if he does not win and even if he continues to stay close to the top, it is a milestone. It is a moment in history. And separately from that, we were watching it going, wow, he got emotional. It was noteworthy for him as a human and as a candidate, because he excites crowds. He has such a following, but if there is a knock on him, it is that he doesnt emote as much as other candidates, and he did there in a big way. Yes. With his husband as well, which is so so important. 62 of the precincts are reported and now Pete Buttigieg is in first place now, and it could change because 38 of the votes are still outstanding and much more of the special coverage right after this.

And we have 62 of the votes in. Pete buttigieg and Bernie Sanders very close, buttigieg with 26. 9 , sanders 25 the 1 and warren with 18. 3. Gloria . I think Pete Buttigieg is somebody everyone has to pay a lot more attention to right now. His strength, which we saw in these entrance polls last night was broad demographically and it was brought in all parts of the state as john king showed you on his map, young and old, moderate and conservative, and so i think hes got a lot, hes going to raise a lot of money and joe biden has problem. What kind of bounce would buttigieg get . If this was last night, you would expect he would raise a lot of money off of that night. Weve never had quite this situation before. He needs that money and he needs a bounce in New Hampshire to try and overcome his challenges in South Carolina, where he hasnt broken through yet, particularly the africanamerican community. With that momentum, he might. Biden has a big problem. His Campaign Manager some time ago said they would be viable in 59 of the state, they expected to do much better and the big problem he has is not only the deficiencies that showed in his appeal, but he is dead broke and he needs to raise money. Its hard to raise money off of an anemic fourth place finish. He needs to revive himself in New Hampshire or this fire wall that everybody talks about in South Carolina may not just be there for him. I think thats right. What kind of changes does he mack on his Campaign Staff . They sunk a lot of money into iowa. They were telling people two or three weeks ago that they felt they would come in the top one or two or so and that obviously didnt happen. He likes to crow about polls, polls that show him beating donald trump, polls that show him viable in South Carolina, winning in South Carolina, doing well among black voters. Ive been texting with some nervous black democrats in the south. Do you want to have a candidate whose whole rationale is i can do well in these states down the line and not do well in states like iowa . The crazy thing about it, intellectually, conceptually you say hes not going to do well in iowa, blah, blah, blah. When you see these numbers and you see joe biden 100 household name recognition probably on five continents at 15, it does change your view of him. He might not do well in iowa, hell make it up later. Now were living in the reality that he fell down these stairs and i dont know how he gets up. We saw him bleed numbers while we saw the top three picking up. Thats a clear demarcation as to which candidates had good nights and which ones didnt. I thought it was very interesting how many view buttigieg as a second choice. Him and Elizabeth Warren have a lot in common there and we might be seeing more of that play out as we move forward. Bernie downget as much second choices as i would have guessed given all of the enough people that were supposed to come in, but well see what happens when we get to New Hampshire. But i think its important to keep in mind, we have 62 of the results in. It is not definitive yet who necessarily won. Its certainly true that Pete Buttigieg had an incredibly Strong Performance but as of right now, Bernie Sanders won the latino vote, even though its small and all that kind of thing and i think thats huge in terms of the center of gravity in the Democratic Party right now the being on bold, progressive policies and, you know, in the sense of buttigieg rejecting the establishment, the old ways of politics and trying to figure out how do we defeat donald trump and move forward . Just pivoting forward to New Hampshire, Bernie Sanders has such a huge lead into that. So just assume lets just pretend that things stay the way they are right now at 62 , that that projects forward. Buttigieg has got, you know, this will be interesting to see what kind of bounce he gets. Right now were in a position where you see buttigieg winning potentially iowa, sanders winning potentially New Hampshire, if things were the way they are, if biden doesnt, you are know, go down further, biden winning South Carolina and who knows winning nevada. So you really still have that mix in the first. So the question is does iowa really cause an anchor and a bounce. An angor for joe biden and a bounce for buttigieg. Right now you have the two progressives above him and the fresh face above him. So that does indicate that theres something happening here where either, as we were saying earlier, either the fresh face, the outsider or the actual progressive candidates have a lot more purpose in this party than people who have been backing biden were going to hear from mayor buttigieg in just a moment, a live interview with kate bald within in New Hampshire, who is going to speak.
