democratic nomination and ultimately to winning the presidency. that whole journey of barack obama started nine years ago today. and as president, president obama went back to springfield today to springfield, illinois, to mark the occasion. >> nine years to the day that i first announced for this office, i still believe in that politics of hope. and for all the challenges of a rapidly changing world, and for all the imperfections of our democracy, the capacity to reach across our differences and choose that kind of politics, not a cynical politics, not a politics of fear, but that kind of politics, sustained over the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime, that's something that remains entirely up to us. thank you, illinois. god bless you. god bless america. it's good to see all of you. i miss you guys. >> i miss you guys. president obama speaking to the illinois legislature today. a place where he used to work. among his former colleagues. and when you look at the symbolism and the occasion that president obama marked today, it's fascinating because nine years ago today, from that

down to the wire for the democratic presidential candidates in the palmetto state. about 10 hours from now, we'll start getting a glimpse into who might come out on top-- hillary clinton or bernie sanders. the polls have been open now for about two hours. friday it was the big final push for the democrats to drum up we'll have more on those events just ahead. here's a look at how the democratic race is stacking up right now...according to the wall street journal. a poll of likely south carolina democratic voters finds about 58- percent favor hillary clinton. 32-percent favor senator bernie sanders. to get the democratic nomination, a candidate needs more than 2 thousand delegates. today -- bernie sanders and hillary clinton will vye for their share of south carolina's 53 delegates. right now cnn reports clinton and sanders are in a virtual tie for pledged delegates after the democratic caucuses in nevada. that does not include super already pledged their support. while that count is close- political experts say south carolina has always been hillary clinton's firewall. among afric

, democrat, you're up first. good morning to you. welcome to the conversation. they just h, i think waste too much money on all primaries on and the candidates. host: you think too much money this? en spent by caller: yes, too much money and too much wasted. we need to put that in there to alance the budget of our country. we don't need to waste all this their n people buying everyone knows who's win because they're going to buy the electoral votes like they did in 2000. this is right, well, from the weekly standards web headline, jeb bush $2,884 per iowa vote and sixth place. 2.8% ote total constitutes of the republican turnout placing him in sixth place. in either race spent more than the florida governor. bush spent $14.9 million in iowa all coming from bush's super pac. this means that the republican 8884 per iowaspent vote. alone, 60,000 tv ads aired, 1600 candidate rallies in that state. on the republican line, john, good morning to you. what's your reaction to the results? caller: well, the candidates all senator cruz's ground game has started paying off. screener, ing your he's ge

democratic side and on the republican side. we've seen donald trump leading in the most recent polls. and he's way ahead in new hampshire. we see bernie sanders way ahead in new hampshire. he and hillary clinton are trading the lead in iowa. this much genuine uncertainty, not just in the big race, but what's going to happen tonight, is unusual. it's fun and it makes what iowans doing tonight really, really important in the country. >> a big a story with the republicans as with the democrats. statistical dead heats going into the night. chris hayes is at one of the caucus sites tonight, at the state historical society. chris, talk about the activity behind you. >> all right, brian. this is one of the biggest caucus sites in all des moines. there are six different caucuses that will happen, three on the republican side, three on the democratic side. behind me here, in that auditorium, is the biggest caucus. they're expecting about 250 people. right now you see the supporters coming in, and a lot of volunteers and the precinct captains. the captains are those people who will stand up in

] >> a powerful speech by vermont independent senator bernie sanders. now a democrat and in a virtual tie with former secretary of state hillary clinton here in iowa. the latest vote count 95% of the votes in. 49.8% for clinton. 49.6% for sanders. sanders essentially declaring a moral victory this evening. regardless of how it turns out. he said it was a virtual tie, and it looks like his campaign and clinton's campaign will end up with roughly the same number of delegates. this is a bad night for the establishment, i would say, wolf blitzer. both the democratic establishment. you have bernie sanders, somebody who describes himself as a democratic socialist. basically tying with the ultimate insider figure, hillary clinton, here in iowa. and on the republican side outsider candidates really winning the day in that contest. jeff zeleny is with the sanders campaign and has some news for us. jeff, a powerful speech for bernie sanders. what's next for him? >> jake, it was a powerful speech. of course he said that iowa started the revolution here. so he's going to take that energy on to ne

democrats. the clinton campaign is already declaring victory in iowa. but with 99-percent of precincts reporting... both hillary clinton and bernie sanders take about 50-percent of the vote. but the numbers are in from the iowa democratic party. the iowa democratic party chair... doctor andy mcguire released a statement on last night's historically close vote. in it, mcguire outlines that clinton has been awarded 7-hundred state delegate sanders has been awarded 695-state delegates. mcguire says.... "we still have outstanding results in one precinct, which is worth three state delegate equivalents. we'll report that final precinct when we've confirmed those results with the chair." of course....should sanders win the last precinct... it would still not be enough to edge out clinton.... but again... we're still waiting for those final votes to come in this morning. the race was so close last night... that democrats in some precincts had to flip coins to determine how to award an extra county delegate. it's a rare move... but a long-standing procedure. party rules call for a coin flip wh

work to do. janet: what about democrats? david: a home win for bernie sanders but he broke all of the ideological and demographic barriers. david: it did. hillary griffin has a few problems but young women versus older women, she has to figure that out quickly and she has to solve that problem and i' m sure she' s solving that. south carolina she has a 30 point lead, 60 to 30. according to latest averages. that first set of polls today or tomorrow will be probably 20% that puts sanders in striking distance. ed: obviously the larger african-american population in south carolina, although that isn' t necessarily going to bernie sanders. david: i can' t see her losing south carolina. it is a much more significant chunk of the vote. if you are sanders, every african-american voter you see is like 4 because it is a four ed: you said that donald trump despite saying every unkind word, you' re a member george carlin saying the words you cannot say on television. -- you are member george carlin. janet: he feeds into the antiestablishment anti-washington sentiment and he is that person' s

, i'm chris matthews live from new hampshire right now where it is debate night for the democrats. the stage is set, of course. hillary clinton, bernie sanders, one on one right here on msnbc. six hours from now, 9:00 eastern. who is the democratic party? should the democrats nominate a self-described democrat for president? or self-described socialist who has built a career of running to the left of the party? will the real democrat please stand up? that's a sharp division in the campaign right now. >> i was some what amused today that senator sanders set himself up to be the gate keeper on who who is the progressive. >> you can't be a moderate one day and progressive on other day. >> i know where i stand. know who stands with me. know what i've done. i don't think it helps for the senator to be making those kinds of comparisons. >> i do not know any progressive who has a super pac and takes $15 million from wall street. that's just not progressive. >> any way, u mass tracking poll shows clinton with the gap on sanders though he still holds a 22-point lead. republicans are fannin

democratic side, a tie. but it's not over former secretary of state hillary vermont senator bernie sanders. meanwhile former governor of maryland martin o'malley announce just a little over an hour he suspended his campaign also republican mike huckabee is suspending his campaign. what settled in iowa right now gop race. again texas senator ted cruz the projected winner there. this is huge for the cruz campaign. and here's the breakdown of the numbers for you. senator cruz won with a 28 percent of the vote. donald trump coming in second with 24 percent. and florida senator marco rubio with a late surge coming in just behind trump with 23 percent. dr. ben carson 9 percent, senator paul rand 5 percent jeb bush coming in 3 percent. everyone got two percent or less. again, mike huckabee announcing justing moments ago on twitter he's suspending his campaign. let's give you better look what's happen with democrats tonight a very close race there. in fact tied with 90 percent of the vote in. sanders split 50/50. third candidate martin o'malley as we said out race now he didn't even regist

democratic candidates. hillary clinton after her win in the iowa caucuses and senator bernie sanders speaking tonight at the mcintyre dinner for doing answer democrats in manchester, new hampshire. our live coverage starts at 7 p.m. eastern here on the span. >> the citizens of the granite state are not easily won. meeting places are hotbeds of political discussion. ♪ >> and village, town, and city, voters brave snow and sleet to cast their votes. thanks to the people of new hampshire, >> good to be back in new hampshire. >> new hampshire. >> new hampshire. >> new hampshire. >> it's great to be back in new hampshire. >> one reporter called answer's primary the first -- new hampshire's primary the greatest of political rights. ♪ [cheers] >> thank you so much for coming to an answer. -- new hampshire. >> this is where you can observe the candidate in the heat of dialogue, in the heat of getting tough questions about their positions on the issues. it's not just a place where you give a speech. its firstpshire takes in the nation primary status really seriously. >> is a series of town

democratic debate continues. >>> our team enters the final hour before the event begins. this is the first, only and last time they will be together face-to-face, side by said on the stage in debate. certainly the last before the voters go to the poll. some protesters but mostly a ta peaceful crowd. bernie sanders was awarded secret service protection for his own security just this week. let's go do chris matthews. just tonight you had it on and started to hear a glimmer of democratic regret about hillary clinton. we know we have a burn barner campaign on the republican side. no one expect add barn burner on the democratic side. that would be trump and cruz. a lot of them were chanting the establishment. you thought the republican part as an constitution was this trouble. now in recent days do you find him really taking on hillary clinton and women as a gender will support hillary. i am surprise. the sanders campaign has been so successful in focusing on the issues. i think we're what seeing in this campaign is the fall out of years of overloaning kids money, young people. it's as if they

registeredful early opening happens on wednesday in ohio. are focused on the republican and democratic primary races for president but local races will also be on the ballot. primaries by their nature are ugly. republicans. democrats call ledge democrats. often alacking their opponents with as much or more venom than enter party contest. along the way they explore areas winters. the ohio house of representatives is a great example of the impact of gerry mannedering. in a state that has one republican and one u.s. senator and voted twice for president barack obama. the ohio house with 99 seats as 65 p republicans and 34 democrats. almost all of the districts are noncompetitive in the fall. for that reason, the primaries are everything. the way the lines of the ohio house district 31 are drawn, this he include central neighborhoods of the city of cincinnati like clifton and the cities of norwood, amberley village, overall, this is a significant centers of highly educated liberals, african-americans be appeared working class voters. the seed has been held the last eight years by the stree

democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders, live from the university of chicago's institute of politics. this is a live shot right now with that event having just wrapped up. i'm rachel maddow back in new york. we do not have a brass band. that was a remarkable event. there's a lot going on in news and politics tonight. on the political side, bryan sandoval has taken his name out of contention for the supreme court nominee. a whole new raft of polling has come out. donald trump continues to dominate the field. the rest of the republican field has now started amongst themselves inn earnest as to wh ought the quit. on the democratic side of the race we did have this remarkable, long forum town hall with bernie sanders who is safe to say back to being the underdog, but one who is fighting really hard and has a lot of resoiurces and support o his side. bernie sanders taking questions from students at the university of chicago there. this is a live shot of the room. it was fascinating. this event also started off with what i thought was a contentious and challenge and really interesting back

they think trump might pull some of them in, that cruz would jettison all of it. the democratic side, they think sanders' strength is breaking the party apart. and if trump were the republican nominee they think those reagan democrats you and i remember in michigan, other places, they're going to come over and vote in the democratic race and they could defeat hillary clinton. >> you vote for the republican side. let me ask you what we've been watching in congress in the washington area for now a decade at least, is this dysfunction. this voting against. voting no all the time. the tea party. some certain percentage of the republican party comes in every day to vote no, no, no. that dysfunction i believe has seeped into the presidential process. and now we're basically saying no as the response of the voter. >> you look at the rise of bernie sanders against hillary clinton. certainly senator sanders could win here tomorrow. this is systemic failure across the depth and breadth of the country. we have a total collapse of trust in very nearly every institution of the country with the ex

democratic governor if he plans to jump in. in our panel, should americans be publicly shamed into voting. our final thought. hey, airlines thank you for the pretzels. i'm adam may. with the primary season underway the losers are starting to pile up while the survivors are struggling to define themselves to an angry electorate. >> i am very proud to be the only candidate up here who does not have a super pack, who is not raising huge amounts of money from wall street >> i don't think these attacks by insinuation are worthy of you. enough is enough. if you've got something to say, say it directly >>> joining me now is the former governor of montana. good to you have you with us here on third rail. >> good to be back >>> let's start with this. to put it gently you've had a complicated relationship with this presidential campaign. you considered running at one point, you came out to endorse o'malley. now he is out who are you supporting? >> to start with i don't take it seriously that i said i was running. martin o'malley is out. i haven't made up my mind which one, but i can tell you this.

are participating at each level. it is a fantastic opportunity to see her democratic process in action and go to philadelphia at the end of it to see who gets the eventual nomination. >> bear with me. i have to reach of this letter. i wish i could sum up. >> dear i would democrats, good evening welcome to the 2016 iowa democratic party precinct caucuses. congratulations. is upper to the pit one of our state's most storied tradition you are now a part a part of both iowa and u.s. history. welcome, as well to all of the observers in the room, whether you are a family member, young student, young student, or a member of the media. we hope you enjoy this opportunity to witness democracy in action. we take our first in the nation role very seriously. i once prepare for this night all year by attending events and asking candidates tough questions, by volunteering on campaigns, by knocking doors, making calls, making calls, and talking with neighbors and community gatherings. we work very hard to make sure the issues on the minds of all americans are discussed here in iowa. your involv

have a winner on the democratic side. look at that, 2/10 of a percentage point separating hillary clinton and bernie sanders. martin o'malley drops out. ted cruz the clear winner here on the republican side. we're told he is popping champagne bottles on his campaign. but marco rubio, donald trump, one point apart. >> yes, if you put the democratic race up here one point apart, 2/10 separates hillary clinton and bernie sanders. that is with 99% of the precincts reporting. we don't know how many precincts we are waiting to here from. there are a few out there, the democratic party says they're trying to get in touch with the precinct chairs to find out what is going on. we keep waiting for the numbers to be updated. it could happen any minute. let's bring in chris moody in des moines, chris, explain what is going on here. >> reporter: well, you said it, it is -- we are still waiting. it's 3:00 a.m. on the east coast and we still do not have the results of the democratic caucus at this point. it's very quiet in des moines. at this point a lot of the candidates have already left town

democratic caucus rules require a candidate has 15% of caucus goers and precinct. if they don't, their supporters can back another candidate. bernie sander, once losing to hillary clinton by nearly 50 points, sanders finds himself teetering on a win. >> if we ought to deal with climate change and women's rights and all of the important issues that are out there, the only way that happens is when millions of people stand up, come together, and demand that our government starts working for all of us, not just the one percent. >> amanda: but experts say despise sanders' surge, clinton's numbers are still strong and she is extremely popular among democrats. focused on the needs of the uny. roads,bridges, tunnels, rail system, there is work to be done >> amanda: and as i mentioned, o'malley has 3% of the support right now and it's very interesting because that's the exact spread right now between sanders and clinton, so those o'malley supporters could sway the vote tonight. could be interesting. >> matt: candidates certain tried to sway voters right up until the very last minute. donald tru

said this is a nigfight now for the direction of the democratic party. >> it is rare. it is rare that we have the opportunity we do now. to have a real contest of ideas. to really think hard about what the democratic party stands for and what we want the future of our country to look like if we do our part to build it. i am a progressive. who gets things done -- >> and that is the theme we are going to hear over and over for next week until the new hampshire primary. i am a progressive who gets things done. but carol, i can tell you i was in the room at the bernie sanders rally and the minute she said those words the crowd booed and someone shouted that she's a liar. so there is a line here between the democratic rivals and now it is down to these two. martin o'malley dropping out of the race as well. but bernie sanders flew here overnight and is still looking at all of these voting irregularities. we talked with him briefly as he walked off his charter plane. >> any concerns -- >> we're studying. that we'll see what happens. but i'm just very proud of the campaign that we ran. and th

and the nevada democratic caucuses the same day. >> because of a huge voter huge, we won. say because we harnessed the energy and excitement that the democratic party will need to succeed in november. >> we are going to make america so great again, maybe greater than ever before. i love you all. thank you, new hampshire! thank you. we are going now to south carolina, we are going to win in south carolina. i love you all, thank you very much. host: good morning, everyone. new hampshire decided and it was bernie sanders on the democratic side with a decisive win over hillary clinton. on the republican side, donald trump promised to deliver a win with 35% of the vote. john kasich came in second with 15% -- 16%. chris christie unable to take down the florida senator despite throwing punches leading up to the voting. new hampshire is just the beginning. there are 14 more primaries and caucuses to go in the next three weeks with no clear alternative to mr. trump on the republican more of you will have a say in this nominating process. let's get your reactions to the winners and losers last

debate was held. beer back now with more from senator bernie sanders on the democratic race. senator sanders before we get back to the political questions i want to ask you about the president's replacement for antonin scalia what do you think will happen? he's going to nominate somebody but republicans have said they're going to let it sit. >> well, i'll say, john, it is beyond my comprehension and just speaks the unbelievable level and unprecedented level of republican obstructionism against obama from day one. this is not something that is in debate. the constitution of the united states of america provides that the president appoints, nominates, a supreme court justice. and then the senate holds hearings and deliberation and votes on whether or not to approve that nomination. the idea that republicans want to deny the president of the united states is basic constitutional right is beyond my comprehension. i will do everything that i can to make sure that when the president makes his nomination, the senate goes forward in as speedy a process as possible. holds the necessary hearin

express a little bit of frustration tonight as he was talking about the democratic party and not being able to be included in those debates. just take a lynn. >> i tell you this much, if i had known the democratic party was what you call not in inclusion, i probably would have ran independent or republican, all right? but this is a good lesson for me also. >> reporter: now, you may ask what is next for willie wilson. well he's planning to go back to chicago tonight and actually he said he's had people contact him to possibly run for m mor again in chicago.. maybe somememe this year. but for now i'm live in downtown columbia. destiny chance, wach fox news. >> thank you, destiny. >> so the winner has been declared here in south carolina. what does this mean overall for the entire presidential race. two top political analysts join us now in the studio. >> i'm going to sit between you so we don't come to blows. let's just talk about this overwhel being margin of victory. what did we find out tonight in south carolina. >> we found that hillary clinton is going to be the next president of th

ben carson still in double digits at 10 with rand paul at 5. and the democratic race it's hillary clinton continuing to hold a nor row three-point lead over bernie sanders 45-42. we got a lot to get to this morning. the latest developments in the hillary clinton e-mail story, bernie sanders will join us later. marco rubio and rand paul are standing here at west end salvage, but we begin with senator ted cruz from texas by his own admission needs a win here in iowa to keep the trump campaign from being in his word, unstoppab unstoppable. senator cruz, welcome back to "meet the press.." >> chuck, good morning. good to be with you. >> your campaign i take it doesn't believe the des moines register poll. you believe you're ahead. what i found was interesting if you add up the other candidates that are going after evangelical voters, ben carson, mike huckabee, rick santorum, they're 14% if you add it to the 23% you'll be the runaway winner here. is ben carson going to cost you iowa? >> listen, at the end of the day this race was always going to come down to do conservatives unite. ten

basically picked the most conservative side guy who would get through the democratic senate. they show he has not been as docket rinyir on many pivotal issues. such as gay rights and same sex marriage. >> the ranking democrat, with the democrats in the minority, he issued a statement and then said a following. the president and the senate should get to work without delay. guest: in this instance, president obama has already filled two seats on the court. so his administration is familiar with the process. the they have vetted other candidates. we know who is on the short list before. we know who was interviewed before. certainly we would assume they would start with the people they already looked at as well as seeing who may have else entered the field since then. to the extent they are preparing for a vacancy, i expect they were looking who might succeed ruth bader ginsberg. d there been some pressure for her to step down so he could replace a like-minded successor. the administration now though, with the republicans say ing we don't want to hear any -- we aren't going to consider anybod

." >>> after an all-night deliver hanger on the democratic side, stunning turnabout in the republican race, iowa caucuses are history. it's about new hampshire, the primary a week away. it took until this afternoon for the iowa democratic part to release final results showing hillary clinton as the winner, edging bernie sanders in a razor-thin margin. you'll hear my it interview with hillary clinton who says she's thrilled but it may take a while to notch another win because bernie sanders holds a solid lead in his backyard of new hampshire. one things clear, after iowa, democrats are deeply divided. republicans are even more divided in their race heating up heading into new hampshire. ted cruz surged to an impressive win over donald trump. marco rubio finished a strong third. trump still the national front-runner and holds a big lead in new hampshire. after iowa, has this race changed? our correspondents, analysts and guests, they have full coverage of all of the day's top stories. begin with the republican race for the white house. ted cruz and marco rubio have some wind in their sails r

: let's talk about the democrats. hillary clinton leading within that 4% margin of error. hillary clinton at 45%. senator bernie sanders at 42%. martin o'malley with 3%. who'd a silly clinton need to turn out tonight? -- who does hillary clinton need to turn out tonight, and he does bernie sanders need to turn out? guest: clinton has invest heavily in a massive organization here, and she is really looking to get up the traditional democratic caucus-goers. sanders is looking to expand the base. he is been working very hard to try to get college students out, get younger people, people who felt disenfranchised by the process. he has been looking to get new people in the they had been encouraging college students at universities in iowa to go home to their hometown because their caucus participation might be more valuable. might be more valuable participating in a smaller town than a college town. they're doing things like that to try and get new people out. host: explain that a little bit more for people that are first-time viewers to this whole caucusing process. about deciding how many de

voters as you mentioned earlier, can choose to pick up a democratic ballot or a republican ballot. a democratic up ballot to cast a ballot to bernie sanders, we don't know. or on the republican side with donald trump, or maybe ted cruz. we don't know that at this it's just another wildcard, if you will. host: seems like you can't open without ar these days new poll about new hampshire. is there a specific poll that e your st or what ar feelings about polling in new hampshire in general? note thatl, the polls donald trump, here in new hampshire, just like nationwide, is in the lead. and on the democratic side, bernie sanders does have, in lead olls, a significant over hillary clinton, and some of these leads for bernie pushing 20%, and i don't think those polls really indicate what the state of the race is. it's going to be much, much closer than that. i think both campaigns acknowledge, you know, that bernie sanders here in new but, ire is in the lead, again, at this point in the game, it's about getting people ut to the polls and these campaigns have always used echnology and text m

entire state of iowa right now that have not reported on the democratic side. now, doing some back of the energy calculations here, more of those precincts are in counties that are going for hillary clinton tonight than for bernie sanders. she has an advantage there. she also had an advantage in that the single, biggest cluster of outstanding is in polk county. des moines, the biggest county in the state. hillary clinton's been leading there by between eight and ten points tonight. the biggest, single precincts, 20, or 30 outstanding are in polk. that said, there are a couple college counties, story. iowa state. blackhawk, university of northern iowa. the city of davenport. some outstanding precincts there, i should say. some sanders area. some high concentration of sanders supporters as well. it is tough to see looking at that either can a, oh, yeah, i'm confident of winning. confidently hearing the clinton campaign say they are winning the primary. when he lost, came out by eight points. early that night, a fateful decision, a tied rate. declared victory, called himself a comeback k

minute. this comes with a big democratic debate airing on cnn tonight as bernie sanders is also picking up more and more support from influential african american leaders. >> both sides in this primary racing to appeal to this key part of the electorate in south carolina and beyond. and right now as john is talking about, the count down is on to the other crucial debate. clinton and sanders set to battle it out tonight in milwaukee. we're showing a live picture right now from inside. >> again, we're watching the congressional black caucus event. the endorsement coming any minute. in the meantime, let's go to milwaukee, the site of tonight's debate which is airing on cnn. we are there. brianna. >> reporter: hi. 95 crucial minutes tonight for this debate. the narrative coming out of new hampshire not good for hillary clinton, a stinging loss there. good for bern nir saie sanders on a landslide and has been on a victory lap. hillary clinton was down preparing for tonight. that tells you how important this is for her, trying to turn this narrative around. we'll see more of bernie sa

politics now... where we are covering the democratic caucus. i'm denise valdez. ((dave courvoisier)) and i'm dave courvoisier. we have reports out in the field covering all aspects of the election.. including with the hillary clinton and bernie sanders camps... and in studio we have political analyst steve sebelius... sig rogich... annette magnus .. and adrianna martinez to provide . >> we have political analyst steve, and magnus and adrianna martinez to provide us with some analysis and insight. hillary clinton did win the nevada caucus by six points over bernie sander. with some of the precincts still reporting in. >> donald trump has won the he had 34%, marco rubio finished second and ted cruz coming in third. they head to nevada for tuesday's republican caucus. >> following that announcement, donald trump gave a victory speech saying it's beautiful when you win. >> there's nothing easy about running for president, i can tell you. it's tough, it's nasty, it's mean, it's vicious, it's beautiful.

. clearly an embarrassment for the democratic party right now. let's take a closer look at what has happened so far tonight in the iowa caucuses. first on the republican side, cnn projected a while ago ted cruz, the texas senator, he is the winner in the iowa republican caucuses with 28%. trump with 24%. marco rubio in a very impressive third place with 23%. ben carson with 9%. but cruz did win. he beat trump by 6,233 votes. a big win for ted cruz. he now goes on to the next contest. all of them go on to the next contest. clearly a disappointment for donald trump. he was hoping to win the most recent polls in iowa showed he would win. but he did not win tonight. impressive night, though, for marco rubio. on the democratic side, hillary clinton and bernie sanders about as close as you possibly can see with 98% of the vote now in. 49.8% for hillary clinton. bernie sanders 49.6%. martin o'malley, he's down. he's now suspended his campaign for all practical purposes he is now out. technically you suspend the campaign because he wants to continue perhaps some fund-raising opportunities.

can now report that hillary clinton has won. hillary clinton has won the democratic caucuses in iowa narrowly. very narrowly defeating bernie sanders. bernie sanders comes in second place. an extremely close race. i want to bring in jeff, who is our correspondent. he is covering this. you see what the results there are. these are the results now by the iowa, by the iowa democrats. >> there hadn't been an official announcement in iowa. now there's an official announcement. the iowa democrats, swref, say hillary received 700.59 estate delegate ekwifl i wants. those are representatives that will go to the iowa democratic convention. bernie sanders 696.82 state delegate ekwifl ebt with where's. it's official now. hillary clinton camp can properly declare she won the iowa caucuses. >> she, in fact, did declare a victory. i'm here in in as away, new hampshire, and she just wrapped up a campaign rally just a few minutes ago, and she said i know what it's like to lose in iowa -- referring to eight years ago -- and i know what it's like to win, and winning feels better. bernie sanders is clai

have heard from the president. what are you hearing from congressional democrats? >> they are trying to plot out how they will handle this. they are being complicit and of brian the name sandoval, a moderate republican. the idea is to make the republicans look unreasonable by rejecting their own. you heard republican senators matter and does not they took the hard line before the nomination and will stick with it. democrats are figuring out how to make this painful and trying to make the republicans change their mind, which i do not think will happen. .hey do not want to overreach they think the republicans want this and democrats are trying to feel out the best way forward on this and think the idea is to keep the attention on the republicans to make them seem unreasonable, in the hopes they will back down. andhere are purple states some are in tough reelection battles. they will not vote for a nominee and this is becoming popular. you do not crack the door open at all. nomineet said that the could do better things to do with their time. generally, it seems like the vulnerable incumben

democratic activists to dress up as rubio robots who scuffled with the florida senator supporters. rubio is blaming the press. >> yeah, that's a media thing. for voters? voters are excited about it. especially in narp. voters in new hampshire are serious about this. they understand what's at stake here. >> reporter: but chris christie isn't letting rubio forget. >> the fact is, that wasn't tough on saturday night. and it wasn't tough on senator rubio. they haven't seen tough yet. tough is hillary clinton. >> reporter: still, the surprise of the night could belong to john kasich. who has staked his campaign on new hampshire and won the state's first votes in dixville notch. >> when you win big in dixville notch like i did, what else can you say? it was huge. i just saw trump. i said trump, i crushed you. he said yeah, you did, you killed me. >> jim acosta is joining us from manchester. so primary day finally here. you're over there at trump headquarters. any word from the trump camp as they await the results? >> reporter: well, wolf, donald trump just returned from some last-minute stops at

, do the democrats have though if the republicans in majority they decide to slow do? how far could it go? >> well, i think should do everything that we can. i think the main leverage that people. look, you could be conservative, you can be a progressive. but you cannot allow, we cannot allow the republican majority in the senate to deny the president his basic constitutional right. there are very important cases that need to be heard that are not going to be determined if we do not have a ninth member of the supreme court. i think the issue is taking the situation to the american people. and i think fair minded political point of view will be say this is absurd. this is obstructionism. this is not what democracy and what the congress is supposed to be about. >> dickerson: let me switch back to politics with you. when you did well in new hampshire and delegate counts came out showed that you picked up some delegates in new hampshire, but because hillary clinton has so many of those superdelegates the numbers look quite tilted in her favor. what is your overall feeling about superdel

people attacking me are lobbyists and democrats. his son is a lobbyist who makes hundreds of thousands on lobbying ethanol. his family makes a ton of money. the lobbyists very much want to keep iowa focused on the ethanol mandate because it keeps iowa dment dependent on washington. means every year they have to go the mandate, lobbyists get paid, politicians get paid. no subsidies for oil and gas, no subsidies for anybody. but the other piece that's very important and resonating is i'm going to also tear down the epa's ethanol blend wall, which means make it legal to sell mid-level blends of ethanol. and that in turn can expand ethanol share of the marketplace by 60% but not based on mandates and subsidies based on the free market. >> it's so clear you spent a lot of time in iowa look at you talking about mid-level fuel sales. at the end of the day, how does this not hurt the iowa economy? that's what governor branstad is saying. a vote for you is going to hurt the economy. >> but, chuck, the point i made this actually would expand the iowa economy. right now ethanol is bangi
