-And you have several choices now.
-From field houses to auditoriums,
on Monday, Iowa voters went to caucus.
-Okay, folks. -They showed their preference
by dividing up and sitting or standing for their candidate.
-Come on over! -Yeah!
-Pete! Pete!
Pete! Pete!
Pete! -But it was not to be.
-We don't have results,
but we have news about why we don't have results,
and I'm only being sarcastic because this is an epic failure
by the Iowa state Democratic Party.
-You've been on hold for two hours
trying to report the results from your one precinct?
-Yes.
-There would be no results this night.
The Iowa caucus broke down
after a meltdown in how vote totals got reported.
So, everyone gave a sort of victory speech.
-By all indications, we are going on to New Hampshire
victorious!
-And now it is on to New Hampshire,
Nevada, South Carolina, California!
-Tonight, we are one step closer to winning the fight
for the America we imagine is possible.
-Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
On to New Hampshire!
-For the Democrats running for president, time was short.
It was off to New Hampshire.
The nation's first primary was near.
Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg
ended up leading in Iowa,
but it took days for results to trickle in.
-A campaign that started a year ago with four staff members,
no name recognition, no money, just a big idea.
-But Iowa was a big letdown for Joe Biden, coming in fourth.
-I am not gonna sugarcoat it.
We took a gut punch in Iowa.
The whole process took a gut punch.
But look.
This isn't the first time in my life I've been knocked down.
-He hasn't spent much money or time in New Hampshire
in his third run for president.
-Now it's time for New Hampshire to speak and speak loudly.
And I'm looking forward to making my case
all across this state and until next Tuesday.
-What Biden has said is that what matters
is the totality of those first four early-voting states --
Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
In particular, he says, Nevada and South Carolina matter
because they are more reflective of what the nation looks like.
-Suddenly, New Hampshire matters for every candidate.
-For candidates like Pete Buttigieg
and Bernie Sanders, who did well,
the question is whether or not they can continue that,
whether the momentum can continue going forward.
For candidates like Joe Biden or like Elizabeth Warren,
who didn't do as well, the question is they can right
the ship or change the message
in a way that attracts more voters.
-Sanders is well-known here,
with his native Vermont just next door.
And New Hampshire is a state he won in 2016.
Sean Sullivan is following Sanders.
-Here in New Hampshire, voters really,
really want to know their candidates.
They want to feel them, see them,
get to know them up close, and that's what we saw today.
-So, what kind of reassurance can you provide to me
and the hundreds of thousands of other people
who work for private insurers that there is still a need
for our careers after single-payer healthcare?
-Once we open the doors of healthcare to the 87 million
who are uninsured and underinsured,
we'll be creating a lot more jobs than we are losing.
Okay?
-Thank you. -Okay, thank you, Alex.
-One issue that you have not been consistent on
is open borders.
-Trump wants to throw everybody out of the country.
If he threw people out of the country,
the price of food in this country would skyrocket.
Who do you think is picking the crops and planting
all over this country?
-There is a lot of pressure on him here to perform well,
because if he doesn't do well here,
it's gonna make a lot of people wonder, "Why not?
He's supposed to do well here."
It's the kind of place that people expect him to do well.
He draws big crowds.
-Mr Pete Buttigieg!
-New Hampshire is New Hampshire.
And New Hampshire is not the kind of place to let Iowa
or anybody else tell you what to do.
-Chelsea Janes is reporting on the Buttigieg campaign.
-We've already talked to people who have said
they saw what happened in Iowa,
and we've seen some poll bumps that he's gotten.
I think that whether he declared victory or not,
whatever the margin ends up being,
that was an incredibly important showing for him
and really just continues to sort of back up
what he said all along,
which is that he thinks his message can win,
and he's one step closer to making that point.
-And I know how seriously you take the importance
of getting this right,
knowing that New Hampshire has that thumb on the scale
as a state so early in the process.
I see it.
I think you're in my top seven now,
all the way down to these last few days
that are bringing us to decision time
and the importance of making sure that we are ready to win.
-He talked about being the top seven.
He's really been in our top three or four
for a long, long time.
-Okay. -He's just so smart.
And I know he's just a mayor of a small town,
but he is a mayor, an administrator.
He knows how things work and run.
-Yeah, I'm kind of leaning towards Pete myself, yeah.
-What do you like about him?
-I really think that it's really important to do
a generational change, you know?
To me, I really think it's important to have a candidate
who's not eligible to collect Social Security yet, you know?
-It's also a campaign of reach.
-The way Buttigieg has done it is to say, "Look.
I can bridge these parties and divides.
I can bring in moderates and Republicans in the Rust Belt.
I can convert people who are dissatisfied
with President Trump,
and we can build a broad sort of movement that way."
And I think that's what he'll continue to do here
in a state that really aligns with that strategy very well.
-As Biden and Elizabeth Warren figure out how to move forward,
now, just days before the New Hampshire primary,
all eyes are on Sanders and Buttigieg.
-Iowa set the tone for this race, right?
It gave us our first definitive taste of winners and losers.
What New Hampshire does is for the victors,
for the people that did well in Iowa,
it will show whether they can keep that momentum going,
whether they can keep that fire going.
-As Iowa still counts votes,
New Hampshire is counting on setting the pace for the race
ahead.
