Ayman mohyeldin. Still waiting for those results. You wake up in the morning at our job, right, the alarm goes off, especially on a big night like that, scrolling through your email, who won, who came in first, who came in second. Only to find this curve ball. Lets start there, the confusion and frustration in iowa. We dont know who won last nights caucuses after what the Iowa Democratic caucuses says are inconsistencies in reporting the data following a new system that requires precincts to report two sets of totals in addition to delegate totals. Caucus organizers reported trouble with the app that theyre supposed to use to transmit the results. We are told the telephone system they have as a back up has been inundated with phone calls, unsurprisingly. Heres the caucus secretary of a precinct in ames, iowa, speaking with msnbc just last night. The app that we were told to download just hasnt been working so in the handbook that we were given, we were given a hot line to call to report the results, and ive just been on hold pretty much since 8 30 trying to report these results in. Youve been on hold for two hours, trying to report the results from your one precinct . Yes. Yep. So i was, you know, they say that theyll be with me in the order in which, you know, i got on hold, and there was a moment where they did connect for like one second about half an hour ago, and then i just wasnt responsive quick enough, and they hung up on me. So im back in line. So thats where we are. A spokesperson for the Iowa Democratic party released this Statement Last night which reads in part this, this is simply a reporting issue. The app did not go down, and this is not a hack or an intrusion. The underlying data and paper trail is sound, and will simply take time to further report the results. Were told a Conference Call between the campaigns and Iowa Democratic party got heated last night, sources telling nbc news, the party hung up on the campaigns when pressed for answers on when results would be released. Early this morning, the party said it is manually verifying all precinct results and expects to report the numbers at some point today. And the candidates are already off to New Hampshire and in the case of Pete Buttigieg, already declaring victory in iowa, despite the hold up in those results, heres the former south bend mayor followed by some of the other contenders. So we dont know all the results, but we know by the time its all said and done iowa, you have shocked the nation. Because by all indications we are going on to New Hampshire victorious. I imagine, i have a strong feeling that at some point the results will be announced. And when those results are announced, i have a good feeling were going to be doing very very well here in iowa. Lets stay in a good spirit because you all know what happened out there in those precincts, you know that we have been punching way beyond our weight. You know that despite some limited resources compared to some of those bigger bank accounts, we are way on the board, so lets stay up. Lets stay up. Lets stay happy and lets head to New Hampshire. Thank you, iowa. I love you. So listen, it is too close to call so im just going to tell you what i do know. You won. [ cheers and applause ] as the baby daughter of a janitor i am so grateful to be up on this stage tonight. Tonight as a party, we are one step closer to defeating the most corrupt president in american history. Well, the Iowa Democratic paper is working to get these results straight, and i want to make sure theyre very careful in their deliberations and indications are, its going to be close, were going to walk out of here with our share of delegates, we dont know exactly what it is yet, but we feel good about where we are, and look, so its on to New Hampshire. I mean, Everybody Knows that if nobody wins, everybodys a winner, right, thats the lesson. Its interesting to see the language everybody was using, kind of making sure no one comes declaring. Joining us from des moines, msnbc correspondent, Vaughn Hillyard, thanks for sticking around for a moment. Pete buttigieg has declared victory, yet we understand as we just played there some sound from Bernie Sanders, hes released some internal numbers that might suggest otherwise. Joe biden seeming to strike an optimistic note. Walk us through what we know as to where things stand this hour. Reporter good morning, you guys, theres not the plan b here these windy conditions here on this tuesday morning. I was going to be catching a plane to New Hampshire, but look where were at as you heard from these individuals, essentially victory here last night. What you are seeing now is each of them positioning themselves over not only their internal numbers but looking at entrance polls, the Bernie Sanders campaign putting out internal numbers based off information they have for 44 of precincts across the state, that they would be the ones with the largest delegate haul here in the state. Just a little bit after, the Sanders Campaign put that out, the Buttigieg Campaign then came forward and suggested based off of their own internal information from 77 of precincts that Pete Buttigieg was heading to New Hampshire victorious. That has led to each of these campaigns posturing themselves. You got to take into account. Over the last year, millions of dollars have been spent from these campaigns not only on tv air waves, digital air waves but also time. These cam panpaigns have more ta hundred staffers on the ground, a lot of young people that have given up their lives to go around these states for ultimately momentum coming out of iowa, but now essentially you have a race that has no clear victor coming out of iowa going into New Hampshire. Talk about biden here for a moment, vaughan, we just heard from him obviously talking about the fact that he wanted to make sure that this count was accurate as he said in that speech. We do know that there was a letter sent to iowas Democratic Party from the biden camp slamming the quote acute failures. What else did this letter entail . Reporter this letter called on the Iowa Democratic party to not release any official results until each of the campaigns were able to go through the results themselves and follow up with specific questions. There were two these two phone calls last night between Iowa DemocraticParty Officials and these democratic campaigns. Each of them ended rather abruptly, and we should note there was one call in which the press took part with the Iowa Democratic party. That call lasted just over one minute. There are a lot of questions these campaigns do not have answers to, and the Biden Campaign is requesting the opportunity to go through the results themselves and follow up with questions with the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party at 1 00 a. M. This morning suggested that results would be released later today, which would be this tuesday. Theres not a clear time line as to what exactly that looks like. Theres a lot of questions as the sun comes up over iowa this morning. Msnbcs Vaughn Hillyard, thanks for staying up late or getting up early. We appreciate it. Were going to check with you in a little bit. Lets bring in political reporter for the hill julia manchester, good to have you with us. What are the political impacts of what we see for the caucus results, depending on when they get released today or beyond that. How may this hurt or help some of the candidates . I think right now we obviously from that report we saw from vaughn, youre seeing the candidates declaring victory in a very widespread way. Pete buttigieg and Amy Klobuchars speech were very much victory speeches going into New Hampshire, and i think their campaigns made the calculus this was probably the only thing they can do. Right now, those two candidates in particular, as well as the number of other candidates in the race, but those two candidates who are kind of, especially for klobuchar in the midtier trying to climb into the top tier of the race, they want to get the momentum going into New Hampshire, and seem like they have the momentum going into New Hampshire. They did all they could do without the results, however, you know, it will be interesting to see how voters digest these results once they come in, and how they impact New Hampshire, however, i think at the end of the day, there are a lot of questions about this caucus process in iowa and the future of this process, and how maybe even legitimate it is. The campaigns journalists and voters and caucus goers last night were expressing quite a bit of frustrations about the process, so it will be interesting to see what the future of this process is if, you know, these participants cant necessarily take it seriously going forward. Its an interesting calculation to say the least from the campaigns declaring victory, considering there can really be only one victor at the end of the day. What are you going to be looking for when in fact the results do come out . You know, i think well definitely be looking for those reactions, how those campaigns kind of digest and spin those results. In particular im looking at joe biden and Bernie Sanders. We have seen that iowa has turned out to be a very neck in neck race for those two candidates, but for Bernie Sanders in particular, this is really a test of this fouryear Old Organization that started in 2016 and that has appeared to have only gotten stronger. Well be looking at how booPete Buttigieg, and Amy Klobuchar who have put resources into iowa, whether that paid off as well. Julia manchester, thank you, were going to talk to you in a bit.

[ fastpaced drumming ] welcome back, after wrapping up closing arguments in President Trumps impeachment trial, all eyes are on several key republican senators who may convict to acquit the president. Lisa murkowski said despite her thoughts about trumps behavior she would vote to acquit the president. The response to the president s behavior is not to disenfranchise nearly 63 million americans and remove him from the ballot. The house could have pursued censure and not immediately jumped to the remedy of last resort. I cannot vote to convict. Meanwhile, senator Susan Collins told nbc news, she plans to make her decision of closing statements. Mitt romney is not going to comment at this stage about his vote. The senate plans to vote on the articles of impeachment wednesday afternoon. Lets talk about censuring, joe manchin of West Virginia has proposed a resolution to censure President Trump instead of rubiru removing him from office, suggested censuring the president as an option to keep trumps behavior in check. I see no path to the 67 votes required to impeach President Trump and havent since the trial started. I believe a bipartisan majority of this body would vote to censure President Trump for his actions in this manner. Censure would allow this body to unite across party lines and as an equal branch of government to formally denounce the presid his behavior cannot go unchecked by the senate and censure would allow a bipartisan statement condemning his unacceptable behavior in the strongest terms. The Washington Post spoke to multiple Senate Republican officials and aides who say they few senators willing to pursue the measure. When asked to gauge the appetite for censure among republicans, senator mike brawn of indiana said zero. Doug jones and Kyrsten Sinema could potentially break with their party during the final Impeachment Vote. Danny cevallos, goold to hd you with us. The senate plans to vote on impeachment tomorrow afternoon. How do you see this playing out. In the words of colonel sam troutman, it is over johnny, it was never really much in doubt. There was very little doubt, it was preordained, there were never the votes to achieve the super majority of 2 3, and as with prior impeachments the outcome was pretty much determined at the outset, so no strategi surprise here, the senators awil vote to acquit, voting on party lines historically, zero senators voting to convict their own partys president. In all likelihood, we will see an acquittal tomorrow, and again, this country will have impeached a couple of president s and removed zero. I want to talk about this proposal from senator joe manchin with regards to censuring the president , a formal on the books history making what he wants to see as a bipartisan disapproval of the president s actions in this regard. What do you think is, i guess, the point of censuring the president , do you think its a good move . Censure has a really interesting history in our country. We have only in fact censured one president , andrew jackson, and that censure just a few years later was expunged by the congress, a controversial thing. Back during the clinton impeachment trial, when the outcome again was certain, senator feinstein collected signatures and tried to organize a censure. That may sound strange that a democrat was doing it, but strategically, it probably was to propose that as an alternative, as if to say we did something here but that ultimately failed. You heard Lisa Murkowski say they didnt propose doing this. Thats right. But its still possible to propose a censure, you have to get a vote to proceed with it to consider it. Thats what happened in the clinton trial, after the clinton trial, and that was eventually struck down. The vote passed to look into it further but beyond that it disappeared in the committee. Danny cevallos, thanks, danny. Thanks, danny, appreciate it.
