>> tonight on c-span, our campaign 2020 coverage and the results from the new hampshire primary. a live simulcast of wmur tv, the abc affiliate, in manchester. >> we're clearly having something happen here. we just want to seize the moment. >> we're going to have a great day, a great night, we're going to have a big party and celebrate a historic outcome. >> mildly hopeful here in new hampshire. >> we have to have a good showing and we're positioned to o just that. >> voters will be the ones to make sure their voice come loud -- through loud and clear. >> we're a small but mighty operation. >> the last time we won the primary tremendously. >> we're here to win. >> good evening, everyone. thank you for joining us for this special edition of news 9. presidential candidates spreading out all across the state as voters have been going to the polls today. >> we are in the final minutes of the new hampshire primary. many polls already closed at this hour. with a handful staying open until about 8:00. >> we will bring you the first returns when all of the polls close. so let's start there tonight and check in with wmur's jessica moran. reporter: the polls here opened at 6:00 a.m. and since that time, at about 7:00 p.m., they say around 2800 people have cast a vote here. shortly after we arrived, elizabeth warren showed up to greet supporters. she had plenty of people holding signs and chanting her name outside. and of course there were signs or other candidates as well. the voting process was fast and he had shared with us why it was important for them to vote today. >> it's important because it's our voice and we need to speak our voice and that truth. reporter: we still have a little bit of time left here. e polls here close at 8:00 p.m. >> thank you. because of our primary coverage tonight, here's where you can see abc primetime shows. the live episode of "the connors" will air at 8:00 on me-tv new hampshire followed by bless this mess. >> set your d.v.r. and plan accordingly for that. >> one of the big stories on the campaign trail today was thedy appearance of vice president joe biden who left new hampshire around 4:30 this afternoon to head to south carolina to begin a launch campaign there. monica hernandez will be covering his campaign tonight. she's right now live from the radisson in nashua with what's going on with the biden campaign. reporter: doors here open in about 30 minutes but joe biden has already left the state. as you said, he's heading for a rally in south carolina and that means supporters who come here won't see him speaking from the podium you see here behind me. instead, he'll livestream from south carolina. a big change from what he told volunteers just a few days ago. >> we're here straight through until the last vote is counted. i like the fact machines count votes. reporter: that was saturday in manchester, but hours before the polls close in new hampshire, biden was already boarding a plane to south carolina. is rally there starts at 9:00. he said he expects to take a hit in new hampshire and today down playing the significance of this. >> we're going to stay all day here, fight for every vote we have. then we're heading down to tick. -- south carolina. reporter: and while the former vice president won't be here, some of his surrogates will, including former governor john lynch and former congresswoman carol shea-porter. his sister will be here speaking from the podium to thank supporters. >> that was one of the big developments of the day, when we were starting to get word earlier this afternoon that joe biden was not going to be staying here in new hampshire for primary night and instead had plans to head directly to south carolina. so at this point we want to bring in political director adam sexton, political reporter who will be with us as we make our way through primary night and results begin to come in. so, gentlemen, let's begin there. with the exit of joe biden and also we've learned that tomljanovic stires isn't sticking around either. he's also down in south carolina by now. >> yeah, not as big of a surprise of stires leaving but a shock that former vice president joe biden left the state today and the fact that he announced it during the day when people were still voting. a lot of people are questioning -- questioning his decision there. so many new hampshire voters still go to the polls between the after-work hours. he potentially depressed his own vote. >> joe biden had been on a downslide to begin with. and then he announced in the debate last week that he was going to do poorly here. so he started to downplay it even further and he dropped off the cliff today by, as you say, announcing this morning early, not even half the day's official,, -- over, that he's leaving. if you're getting out of work and thinking about who you're going to vote for and you're torn between joe biden and candidate x, the incentive i would think would be to go with candidate x. >> let's be clear. candidate x is pretty much amy klobuchar. i know everybody wants to get to the numbers. unofficial numbers are coming in right now. what are the themes we're seeing? nothing is con fermed but it looks like we're seeing amy klobuchar doing better than people would expect. >> yeah. the places that are coming in right now are showing her doing very well. i think that many of us would have thought that she had the potential to do maybe a fourth place finish, maybe possibly a third place finish. that's now becoming very much within the realm of possibility. possibly more. i don't want to set expectations for her too high. but she's getting off to a strong start. and she had a strong finish to her campaign. so the momentum was going with her right from last friday night when you were on the debate stage with her. you heard what she said. she was emotional. that's carried through. we'll see where it leads when these numbers come in. >> she appears to be doing well in the places you need to do well to do well in new hampshire. we'll keep an eye on it. tomljanovic: the other big story, the frontrunner is bernie sanders who has been in the top of the polling for a ery long time. tom: we're at the fieldhouse. it's a big venue there. they're expecting a big crowd tonight. reporter: yes. welcome to the campus where the stage is literally set for bernie sanders. his staff and his campaign, his supporters really believe that he will continue to build off the momentum he gained in iowa and perhaps even repeat the victory that he did here in 2016. earlier today, sanders greeted new hampshire voters at a school in manchester. bernie said his campaign continues to van vas new hampshire in the hours leading up to the polls closing. sanders touting the work that his volunteers did here in the granite state where they claim to have knocked on one door per second and 150,000 households through the first 24 hours. yes, his campaign held five official events which has attracted some of the largest crowds any democrat has seen this cycle and according to his campaign, sanders' last two rallies attracting nearly 10,000 people combined. many of these rallies have had star power with actor and the band the strokes who performed last night. sanders supporters say this is not a gimmick. his message has resonated with potential voters of all ages. he of course has been touting medicare for all, as well as college for all and the green new deal. hitting issues like climate change, health care and evening the economic playing field, all of which resonates with younger voters. let's take a listen to what sanders had to say earlier today. bernie: we're going to beat donald trump because to defeat him we're going to need the largest voter turnout in the history of this country. that's what you're going to have to be. you're going to have to bring people who -- [indiscernible] -- working people who say, why should i vote? nobody cares about me. we're going to have to bring in young people in a way that we have never done before. by the way in iowa, the voter turnout was not as high as we wanted to be. the voter turnout among young people was 33%. reporter: sanders believes his message is not just resonating -- is resonating, rather, as you heard, sanders says they believe their message will bring a record number of voters to the polls. and he feels that is where his victory will lie tonight. reporting live from manchester, mike cherry, wmur news 9. genaro: thank you. think of the revolution of this race. it was not too long ago we were talking about the neighbors of new hampshire doing quite well here. it would mean bernie sanders and elizabeth war whone spent the better part of a year intricate, ry solid and well-funded organization here in the granite state. jennifer: so we're with the warren campaign tonight. let's check in with her. reporter: good evening to you. we are at warren headquarters where the executive health and sports center by the airport, and i can tell you, if the measure of a candidate's success in this primary is by the enthusiastic crowds that she gathers, the selfie lines, the crush of media, this candidate would be on a surge to win. but of course we know those early polling numbers are telling a very different story and the widening gap between her and that other neighboring candidate we talk about, bernie sanders, is certainly causing this campaign some concern. although they're loath to acknowledge it. they don't like to talk about the polls. you're looking at video that we shot earlier today at a polling place in manchester. my photographer said she had never been in crush so large of cameras. it was almost intimidating. the interest surrounding this candidate, elizabeth warren, arrived and she didn't offer any interviews to the media but she wanted to speak one-on-one with her sign holders, her volunteers, her supporters and their enthusiasm was deafening. this candidate, elizabeth warren, 70 years old. she has boundless energy of the just boundless energy. flawless skin. a campaign staffer told me it's cold cream. she says she loves being on campaign trail. i asked her yesterday what her favorite memory of campaigning here in new hampshire is and she said it had to be those famous selfie lines. she says she loves the personal touch that a small state like new hampshire offers. that she feels like she's been able to connect with so many people and that this is a very personal campaign for her. she said 10 years ago she was a teacher. she never thought she would be in public office. now she's a top tier candidate running for the democratic nomination. here's what she had to say earlier today. every day in this country i feel like we get -- [indiscernible] -- when somebody says, i voted for you, then that's like a real concrete step. reporter: of course the vibe here is a party. the food is flowing, the drinks are flowing. people are coming in. as we've mentioned, this campaign does not like to talk about polls but we're in the business of watching those numbers. we can't help but wonder if this campaign readjusts depending on how she finishes here in new hampshire. of course we'll have those results later tonight. that's the latest here from arren campaign headquarters. tom: she's doing quite well. she did well, third place finish in iowa. jennifer: third place in iowa. certainly hoping to finish strong tonight. but we shall see as she moves forward, how much of that she can maintain. tom: the expectations very high for south bend, indiana, mayor pete buttigieg. did very well in iowa. kind of came out of nowhere. expectations real high here in the granite state. they're at nashua community college tonight. that's where their campaign headquarters will be as the results come in. reporter: those expectations are high for pete buttigieg and his supporters. we'll hear directly from him in a mope. doors open here just a few minutes ago. those supporters are streaming in wearing those pink buttons and sweat shirts and hats. they seem to have grown in number in the recent months since they've been holding more and moralies. many supporters were out on the trail today to meet him in erson at the polling location. buttigieg himself up at dawn. he said he wanted to be up before the sun came up. 6:00 a.m.. he was there to thank his supporters. as we mentioned, we had a chance to talk with him one-on-one a few hours ago, ask him where he needs to finish here in new hampshire. he said it has to be a good finish and tonight he feels positioned to do just that. he also said this really allowed him to connect to voters in a personal way. face to face. and he criticized what he calls people who buy into elections. spending hundreds of billions of dollars of their personal money to buy their way onto the airwaves. clearly taking a dig at michael bloomberg who happened to a win few votes in the early votes. here's what he had to say. pete: it's one thing to get your name i.d. up. it's another to have a voter look you in the eye and hold you to account for whether your ideas make sense, whether you hear them and whether you care about them. i think that campaigning in the diners and in the backyards and the middle school gyms, that's a really important part of how we make sure that the humanity of this process is intact, even as we live in a digital age. reporter: pete buttigieg also telling news 9 tonight that he found it was a tough sell in new hampshire. he had people coming out to see him several times. also measuring other candidates before deciding which candidate they would support today on primary day. after this long process. and he says, yeah, tough sell. but he really admires that about new hampshire voters. we're live at pete buttigieg headquarters. now back to you. jennifer: it could be a big night here in new hampshire for pete buttigieg. we'll wait and see about that. now to the 44-year-old tech entrepreneur, andrew yang, who we had the chance to talk to after the debate on friday. he said he was thrilled to be back on the debate stage. he went to high school here in new hampshire, so he says getting back to nurgese he was somewhat familiar with it. anxious to get on the ground as he spent time here and learn the stories of the new hampshire voters. tom: he went through an academy in exeter and he said today that he wouldn't rule out another presidential run. so he's basically dead-set to serve the country in some way or another. so he probably has a very bright future in politics. jennifer: mike cronin is standing by at yang headquarters tonight. reporter: how about that. not ruling out a 2024 run. just in case. he says, well, if problems persist, it's something he certainly would consider down the road. but for nourk the focus tonight is on this room and the results of the new hampshire primary. they're rocking some good music, people are laughing and smiling and interacting with each other, having a good time. festive mood here. you can see the supporters who have gathered here tonight. his faithful following of supporters collectively known, of course, as the yang gang. andrew yang is the son of immigrants who achieved the american dream. he says that his father grew up on a peanut fample in -- farm in airborne yafment he grew up in up-- asia. he grew up in upstate new york. went to college at brown. certainly very familiar with new england. he became an attorney after going to school. but he actually hated it, said that he did not like the five months he spent as lawyer. then he went into entrepreneurship. he founded venture for america, that's an organization that helps other entrepreneurs to create jobs in big cities. now he's running for president. you've probably heard some of his big, bold ideas such as $1,000 a month for every american 18 years and older and he certainly has built a very big following of supporters, one of them a familiar face here in new hampshire, steve marchand, the former mayor of port smith and for were -- former gubernatorial candidate. here's what he told us a few while ago. >> he's young and smart, brings a totally new message to the table that kind of diverse backing he has brought is unlike any campaign i've seen in a generation. i think that's very exciting both for 2020 for andrew, but i think it's great for party in the long run. reporter:at the iowa caucuses, yang fiduciaried in -- at the iowa caucuses, young finished in sixth place. he's feeling confident, optimistic about his chances. especially with undecided voters and young people, young voters who have gone out to the polls and he thinks that he's going to surprise a lot of people here in new hampshire tonight. we'll stay tuned and see what happens. for now, we are live in manchester. mike cronin, wmur, news 9. tom: always high energy during the campaign. jennifer: always did. the yang gang as they call themselves. loyal supporters out on the trail. tom: we had a great chance to talk to him on friday night. friday night was a very big night for amy klobuchar who basically everybody said had a great debate ferre for mans. jennifer: right. three-term u.s. senator out of minnesota. has been riding high upon that debate performance. she says $3 million came in in campaign donations over the weekend so she was feeling really good. a lot of energy and huge crowds over these past couple of days in new hampshire. let's check in with our shah reese who is standing by at the klobuchar campaign tonight in concord. reporter: good evening. the word we've been hearing the most today is momentum. we've seen that surge in her campaign since friday night's debate performance. i want to bring in scott merrick, the director for amy klobuchar's campaign. that's the word of the week, momentum. that has to be exciting for your candidate who has been in this race for a while now. >> it really is. i think it really -- her debate performance on friday i think really helped kind of show voters who were undecided. we know close to 50% of those voters are still undecided going into that debate, and she was able to really show not just why she would make a great candidate but a great president as well. reporter: we've been hearing moderate, hoping to get the independents and maybe even people who voted for trump last tithe time around to come over. she said she's been successful in red districts and purple districts. what do you think it is about her that connects moderate and independent voters? >> i think voters just want somebody who can beat donald trump in november. the exit polls we're seeing today really proved that out. that's what we've heard on the ground for the last eight to nine months is that everybody wants somebody who can beat donald trump. her message of unity really resonates with -- [indiscernible] -- as well as empathy, that's what we're missing right now in the white house. that's what i think she's going to bring. reporter: that's what we heard a lot too. she really seemed to think she connected during the debate with new hampshire voters, bringing up that empathy. but also the grit. so we have those. >> absolutely. that grit, we feel at the new hampshire level, our campaign here really had a lot of grit. we were scrappy, as she said. and we really worked really hard in a true new hampshire way. we weren't the biggest operation but we worked really hard and i think a whole lot out of our staff, they've worked extremely hard. i'm really proud to have worked with this great team here on the ground. reporter: two of her opponents from neighboring states. what would the campaign consider a major victory here in the first in the nation primary? >> i'll let you decide what a major victory is. i think going into tonight, we're feeling the momentum. and we're just feeling really good about what we've been hearing. reporter: thank you so much. the room's starting to fill up. still too early to tell when amy klobuchar herself will make an appearance here. but we'll of course be tracking those results live throughout the show. and we'll be hearing from her later on this evening as those results continue to come in during this first in the nation primary. live in concord. jennifer: that will be interesting to watch. as the new hampshire primary process unfolds, candidates obviously come to new hampshire combite a -- quite a bit. ome move here. [talking simultaneously] tulsi gabbard did that, setting up shop and letting all her hopes ride on new hampshire. famously doing pushups with somebody onstage. she's snow boarding, she surfed. tom: she could be found everywhere. the interesting thing about tulsi gabbard is she was one of the fist people with a giant billboard on south willow street right in the heart of manchester months ago. maybe a year ago. people would look at that billboard and say, who is tulsi gabbard? nobody even knew who she was. boy, we'll see how she does tonight and she's probably expected to do better than some think. so let's go right now now to her campaign. reporter: you're right. tulsi gabbard is a force to be reckoned with. she's been on the ground here in new hampshire longer than anyone, doing over 100 town halls. think about it, she's from hawaii. the furthest distance than anyone else. that's quite a resume. at the age of 38 she's already in the fourth term of representing hawaii in congress. and she's served almost 17 years in the army national guard. she's a major, she's been deployed twice. she brings an incredible amount of experience for someone so young to the table. there's been frustration in her campaign. she wasn't allowed by d.n.c. rules to participate in some of the national debates where she really felt she could hang in there with everyone else. but has not swayed her at all from being added on the ground, talking to voters, convincing them that she really, given her long record, serving -- [indiscernible] -- at the age of 38, also all those years serving in the mailtary, that she is really the candidate to take on donald trump. she's what she's been trying to get across as a message, that idea of young leadership, someone that can hit the ground running when they get into office. all built into this one dynamo package. her supporters are really die-hard supporters. they've been on the ground here in new hampshire for all of these months, at all of those town halls. and they are really excited about tulsi. you're right. the numbers early were that for some reason it wasn't believed she would do well. i think she will be -- [indiscernible] -- she'll do better than people expected. she's very enthused and excited to take whatever comes her way here to south carolina and hit it just as hard there. in fact, her staff tells me that she had planned to be here at a certain time and had put that off because she wanted to stay at the polls in nash walk until they closed. trying to get every last vote she can. my feeling is this is the not the last we've seen of tulsi gabbard. she's excited to see what happens tonight. we're going to hang in there with her and hopefully hear from her sometime in the next hour or so. for now we're live here in manchester. jennifer: the live entertainment is already under way at gabbard campaign headquarters, like the other candidates, michael bennett thanked supporters at the polls today as well. he spoke about the progress of his campaign and the importance of young voters as a whole. >> democracy at real risk. as donald trump is a symptom of our issues, not the essential cause of all of our problems. and the way to overcome trumpism and the way to overcome the threat to our democracy is to engage yuck voters -- young voters. tom: duvall patrick is predicting he will beat expectations tonl. the former massachusetts governor greeted voters this morning outside an elementary school in manchester. patrick said he's feeling confident and hopes voters look to his record. >> i have a record of actually delivering. so others have plans, we have results. i think that ought to matter to people. that bring me a better way. you get those results in the same way you win elections. by building coalitions. jennifer: the only major republican challenger to president trump in this primary, was out shaking hands with voters today. bill weld says the country needs to get serious about climate change as well as preparing for the future of employment and education. >> i think this is crunch time in the republican primary and it's getting to be crunch time for the united states too. deciding what we want to do. whether we want to continue to have divisiveness and have a sue pine washington that just does whatever donald trump says as he tries to centralize all power in his own hand, or not. jennifer: the former massachusetts governor says he need as strong showing tonight and then for him it's on to super tuesday and beyond. and trump's not to be outdone. the president did have a presence here and it was a big presence here in manchester for a huge rally that drew thousands. tom: right. he had a big rally here last night in manchester, about 11,000 people in the arena. another few thousand outside. he's got surrogates spread all over the state today, including donald trump jr. and others with a campaign. they've been on television here all day long. let's go out to tim. they are having a victory party of sorts in the city tonight. where are you exactly? and what'ses the mood there? reporter: we are here in bedford where you can hear behind me supporters for president trump are arriving to his victory party. it will be held here at murphy's tap room in bedford. folks are just filing in right now and there was a line bleeding out into the parking lot. a couple hundred people are expected here tonight to see how the president does, of course. he is expected to have a winning night here in new hampshire. as you mentioned, former massachusetts governor bill weld is his only major opponent. weld did not do well in iowa and he's not expected to do that well here in new hampshire. the president did have a major presence here, even though he's not here himself this evening. about more than a dozen high-profile surrogates were here this afternoon, including his son, don jr. i had a chance to speak with him one-on-one this afternoon and he says his father has a strong base here in new hampshire and he knows that. it's something that he's hoping to carry into other states as this election process continues into november. don jr. also mentioned this his father really has a strong following because he has stuck to everything that he's promised on his campaign. i think we have a sound bite of that right now. >> you have someone that's just taking on the system. the establishment really from both sides. and getting it done. they're just excited to see progress. they're excited to be able to live their american dream for the first time in a long time. reporter: and again, president trump supporters gathering here in bedford for what is expected to be a celebration party. a number of local and state dignitaries will also be here tonight. we're going to head inside and we'll bring you live coverage coming up in the next half hour. back to you. jennifer: thank you very much. we're two minutes away or so until the 8:00 hour when all the polls of new hampshire will be closing. then we can start to flesh out obviously the returns. get a feel for voter turnout. secretary of state bill gardner had downgraded that a bit, expecting originally 500,000 or so for tonight. downgrading that to 420,000. which of course is still large when you have a sitting president and you're running a primary. tom: of course here in new hampshire the big thing is the independent vote. which new hampshire's basically ade up of a third and a -- 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. the independents can go into the booths, undeclared voters can say, i want a democratic ballot or a republican ballot, and then they will return after they vote and they will return and become undeclared again if they want to. that really makes this race very interesting. jennifer: if you're thinking 42% or so of the entire electorate is independent minded and in new hampshire, i think this might be a frustrating component for the candidates, but we tend to wait until the last few days, sometimes when you get into the the final decision. they have been packing the house to see these candidates. our live simulcast continues. the president weighing in on the race. the white house made reference to joe biden. >> he is mumbling. not pretty. but we will see how he does. you never know. the only time you knew for sure was the trump campaign, trump was going to win. he can always turn it around. it won't be easy. i think he has a shot. he has probably get a shot of anyone. we now resume our live simulcast. >> the eyes of the world are on new hampshire right now. we have been tracking some of the numbers. john: we are seeing amy klobuchar doing really well. a battle between bernie sanders and pete buttigieg. we are waiting for some of the big cities to come in, places where it will tell the story. it could be a long night. tom: that was an area where bernie went from a win against hillary clinton to a landslide. if his numbers in western new hampshire, if he is not running away with that there, this could be a long night. john: we have seen a few anecdotal numbers from that area that show pete buttigieg doing very well there. we can see some of the other candidates here. joe biden at 8%. joe biden said he did not expect to do well here. john: he left the state a couple of hours ago. maybe they had some internal numbers that indicated this. but it is rare. happeningember this by a major candidate. tom: i think we will have a lot ts in this entire thing. only 10% of pre-six reporting across the state. looks like it could be a long night. about 10% of the vote in. it looks like bernie sanders is on top. jennifer: i don't think it can be overstated, the importance of the youth vote, which could really drive bernie sanders success again. what are you hearing so far? mike: there are a lot of chairs going on behind me. people have filed in. they start putting up these numbers on the big screen. we have heard nothing but applause. with 9% of the vote in, sanders definitely continuing his momentum. a very early lead. i want to take you behind the curtain just for a second. people are filing in. we are talking about dozens and dozens of media from around the world. every single network that you can think of. this is a very tight working space. this is the biggest story. we are trying to be had in shoulders above everybody else. we have a long night to go. we might be here through midnight. jennifer: he is not having any fun at all out there. we have about 10% of the vote. number two and three looks like a real horse race right now. it looks like pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar are tied up pretty much. >> supporters are here. the question remains, how the 38-year-old former mayor of south bend indiana beat out elizabeth warren and a former vice president, joe biden. it appears that is what is happening. fought off criticism about age and experience during this race. birthday was just on january 19. his experience being andlved in the middle class his experience outside of washington dc as well as his experience being a veteran leads him to this point. he thinks it should allow him to be president of the u.s.. motto is, turn the page. have a fresh chapter. we will be watching his returns come in. jennifer: there is so much to be said about these candidates and their momentum. amy klobuchar's campaign events have been packed. she had a winning performance out of the friday night debates. jennifer: that could be the headline tomorrow morning. cherise: a lot of positive energy coming out of this campaign tonight. a third place finish are better is a victory. her message all along has been great, getting out there. they say they are capitalizing on that momentum. we asked her about pete buttigieg as another moderate contender. she says she has that experience. her supporters are gathering here. no word on when she will arrive to this party. polls closed not too long ago. her state director said he is hearing from independent voters and moderates and even some republicans and people who are not happy with president trump. they believe she has that alternate candidate who would be able to take them on. still a long way to go in this primary night coverage. jennifer: this breaking news just in. we can confirm from a campaign source that andrew yang is suspending his campaign. it's now suspended. him -- tohance with talk with him on friday. he went to high school here. he has had fun on the campaign trail. we expect to hear from him shortly. we will take a quick break. steve: our thanks to wmur for getting a chance to see how this is playing out. yang is withdrawing his candidacy. saying the math just did not work out. the president easily winning in the new hampshire primary. all ofkeeping tracks of the candidates. their closing arguments in new hampshire. the reason we did so well in iowa and i believe we will do so well here in new hampshire is not because of our tv ads, not because of our radio ads, it is because we have thousands of people knocking on doors. who are volunteering in the campaign, i want to thank you so much. we have done something extraordinary. and one day, we knocked on 20% of the doors in the state of new hampshire. that is pretty good. steve: with the polls now close, senator sanders is in the lead. we will be your one place to hear the speeches in their entirety. jennifer: we will take you live right now to andrew yang campaign headquarters. he has suspended his campaign. he is about to take the podium. we do expect to hear comments from him about his decision to end his campaign and what happens next for him. there he is heading up to the podium. he was a phillips act -- exeter student here. he later went to brown. he decided went to -- give this a try. let's listen. thank you so much for being here. i want to give a special thank you to my rock, my wife. been with us every step of the year. new hampshire and everyone who has supported this campaign, thank you for everything you have done to make this campaign possible over these past months. you all have uplifted me and inspired me and evelyn at every turn. yourpassion and energy, donations, and hundreds of thousands of hours calling, volunteering, your enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment. we have accomplished so much together. we have brought a message of humanity first and a vision of the economy and society that works with thousand and our family. we went from a mailing list that started with just my gmail contacts list to receiving donations from over 400,000 people around the country and millions more who have supported this campaign. one of the things i am most proud of, we gave a thousand dollars a month to 13 families around the country. including one right here in new hampshire. americans know that if you put a factory in michigan, you do not find wall-to-wall immigrants doing work. you find robots. this is a topic no one wanted to touch until we made it happen. universal basic income has become part of the mainstream conversation. 72% of people supported. that is thanks to all of you are here tonight. tonight is not the outcome we fought so hard to achieve. many people told me, your campaign helped me out of the depression. working on this campaign has made me a better person. i met my significant other because of you. your campaign brought my family together. your camping got me excited about politics for the first time. i am so proud of this campaign and what we are cops together. have touched and improved millions of lives and moved this country we love so much in the right direction. you know i am the math guy. it is clear tonight from the numbers that we are not going to win this race. tom: that is andrew yang suspending his campaign. jennifer: let's get a look at the precincts. here we go. bernie sanders at 28%. not too far behind is pete buttigieg at 23%. and not too far behind his amy klobuchar at 20. tom: here's a look at the rest of the field. tom steyer left the state on sunday, headed to south carolina and nevada. on the republican side, this is what was expected. the challengers got about 12% of the vote. jennifer: we are standing by. perhaps we will hear from elizabeth warren. a lot of brainpower over there. >> this is one of the examples of the primary elevating someone. people in new hampshire responded to that guy. i remember when he was walking around concorde and couldn't give away copies of his book. >> this is another thing we are watching. we will see this field start to whittle down. ♪ >> hello, new hampshire. the results are still coming in from across the state. it is clear that senator sanders and mayor buttigieg had strong nights. i also want to congratulate my friend and colleague amy howuchar for showing just wrong the pundits can be when they count a woman out. i also want us to be honest with ourselves as democrats. we might be headed for another one of those long primary fights that last for months. in.re two states we still have 90% of our delegates for our nomination up for grabs americans in every part of the country are going to make their voices heard. the question for democrats is whether it will be a long, bitter rehash over the same divides an arc -- party or we can find another way. senator sanders and mayor buttigieg are great people. either one of them would be a far better president than donald trump. these harsh tactics might work if you are willing to burn down the rest of the party in order to be the last man standing. we will need a huge turnout within our party. we cannot afford to fall into factions. to squander our collective power. we win when we come together. it takes two wings to fly. positionedn is best to be donald trump because we can unite our party. we can unite this party and this country by mobilizing people behind ideas. they are not only popular with huge majorities of the american people, they are also accomplishing structural changes for our broken government and are rigged economy. we can add corruption in washington. ending corruption that leaves more and more working families with less and less hope for a better future. families in america today are running out of time. we have faced decades of shrinking opportunity. widening wealth gap. markets without rules or theft. they perpetuate racial despair -- discrimination. for too long, the rules have been rigged against people who just want a level playing field. 2020 is our time to change to change she makes the rules. it was never my plan to run for office of any kind. i have been in this fight for decades. i thought credit card companies at the right to trick consumers. i thought our banking regulators to hold them accountable. i ran for office because i saw families were being squeezed harder than ever. too many politicians were not getting enough done. i'm here to get the things done. americans know deep down in their bones exactly why government does not work them. it is corruption and we need to call it out for what it is. the corruption that lets fei company's pay nothing in taxes while small businesses they. the corruption that ensures that nothing ever changes. let's be specific here. when career prosecutors showed more backbone then every republican senator standing up to this president, americans of all political stripes are gravely concerned about the of a trump's justice department. tonight i have a message for our party and for our nation. our best chance of beating donald trump's with candidates who can do the work. the hard, disciplined work. candidates who can build a campaign to unite our party and a candidate who can build a movement that is ready to take -- win.ption and when let's check the facts. i are the only candidates in this race who are not billionaires or supported by super pac's. i do not fund my campaign by spending time behind closed doors sucking up to wealthy donors. our movement is powered by you. have hadpast year, i the chance to shake hands or hug over 100,000 people. there are a lot of differences among us. we come from different backgrounds. we feel the urgency of this moment in different ways. we want an america where decisions in washington are not bought and paid for by lobbyists and big donors. where everyone has a voice in our democracy. where a fossil fuel companies do not have a vice grip on our planet. where we can breathe the air entering the water. an america where every child can dream big and have a chance to make it. no matter the color of your skin or who you love and how you worship and which zip code you live in, you deserve an america where you are safe and your opportunities are just as good as anyone else's. if you think that america is worth fighting for, join us. pitch in a few bucks. this moment will not come our way again. thank you for helping build a movement to take back our democracy. i want to take a moment to thank my sweetie, bruce. i also want to thank the good boy who posed for one selfie after another. in to save oure democracy is an uphill battle. our campaign is built on the long haul. we are just getting started. i am thankful for what our campaign has been able to accomplish so far. i have been influenced by letters pressed into my palm by little girls. my will to fight has been strengthened by people who have whisper their dreams in my ears. if we have the hope that comes with dreaming big, if we have the courage to fight hard, we are going to win. thank you. jennifer: there you have elizabeth warren addressing her supporters tonight. she is congratulating senator bernie sanders, amy klobuchar, and pete buttigieg, saying they had a better night in new hampshire. also taking some familiar scenes from her campaign trail. she does not sound like she has any doubt that she is moving on from new hampshire and is ready to continue her fight. tom: she is basically challenging her fellow democrats to keep it in an orderly campaign. thedoesn't want to see democratic and paintball into factions. we went to take a quick break. we are crunching the numbers as we continue our coverage. steve: michael bennet has now dropped out. here is some information from cnn. exit poll showing the number one issue is health care. bornpears that biden and are vying for fourth and fifth. that means they would not qualify for delegates. yesterday, amy klobuchar had this to say to reporters. klobuchar: we need to get back to empathy. once you get that, we bring back the sacred trust between the president and the people. this old story of fdr. he was beloved because he got our country through some really hard times. when he died, someone said i did not know the president, but the president knew me. [applause] that is what is missing right now. promise you this, i will restore the sacred trust. that from the klobuchar campaign. to wmur. tom: he is indicating in his remarks that he will drop out of the race. but new hampshire may not have seen the end of him. he is a newcomer on the political scene. it is likely that he will be back in the picture at some time. nice storyhere was a about michael bennet speaking about the traditions here. it was nice to have him spending some time in new hampshire. tom: we will get to you in a minute. we are with the joe biden campaign. he left the state around 4:30 this afternoon. >> i want to give you a look at the crowd. one volunteer here has been knocking on doors for the last six months for joe biden. >> the people here are wonderful. this has been the honor of my life. >> that man told me he had knocked on 3000 doors. this rally kicking off at 9:00. theeft new hampshire before polls could even close. a surprised turn of events for many people who were expecting to see him here tonight and hear from him in person. but joe biden announcing that decision to leave the state and head to south carolina earlier today. we will keep you updated. tom: thank you. let's run through the boards as they stand right now with just about 19% of the vote coming in. jennifer: joe biden is now in south carolina. tom steyer has moved on to south carolina as well. tulsi gabbard has spent a lot of time here. she is coming in at 2%. than 1%.rick less senator michael bennet has just dropped out of the race. we are crunching some of the numbers. what is the headline so far? adam: obviously the headline is how well amy klobuchar is doing. the numbers are looking good for sanders. he is outpacing buttigieg. there are some small towns that are going for buttigieg. but he cannot run up any numbers there. we are a long way out. we talked about how many tickets there are out of new hampshire. first places first place. john: there may only be three realistic tickets out of here. that doesn't mean that warren and biden will drop out. but how are they doing on the fundraising front? where did they go from here? joe biden is taking everything on south carolina. we remember rudy giuliani bypassing new hampshire and staking out florida. >> we have tulsa gathered on the podium right now. gabbard on the podium right now. gabbard: thank you so much. it is time. this round of applause is for all of you. i want to say thank you to some people. the owner of this fine establishment. thank you so much for having us all here tonight. i've had the privilege of getting to know all of you. it is such a privilege. i wish everyone could hear your stories. i wish everyone could hear the passion and heart and commitment i have seen from people all across the state. and all across this country. we are standing here tonight strong, resilient, ever committed to our cause. this because that brings us all together. we are motivated by love. motivated by a love of country. a deep care for each other. and for our future. no matter what happens here , we have already been victorious. as much as they have tried to erase us from this election, we stand strong. we are still here. this is a testament to the importance of the message. and the mission of our campaign. it is bigger than anyone of us. this message and mission of how we the people will stand up, take our government back, in these regime change wars. this new cold war and nuclear arms race. we will stand together and unite this country. motivated by our common love for this country. our commitment to ensure we bring into reality the vision of our founders. we no longer accept politicians who tell us there is not enough to make sure everything a person in new hampshire or in this country has clean water to drink. we will no longer accept politicians who tell us we do not have enough money for your child to get a good education. we will no longer accept politicians who tell us, there is not enough money to serve the needs of you and your loved ones a governmentlies of the people, by the people, and for the people, that means leaders in washington who are hearing your voices. that is up to us. i am that candidate that will not only be able to be trumped, but most importantly, i am that candidate committed to putting country first. and a wayr country that allows us to heal these divides. i want to take a second and introduce you to olivia. her overtten to know the last several weeks. ourmom has been one of incredible volunteer leaders. she brought her friends from to encourage people to vote for me. >> i had a fun time and i was could happy that tulsi come over. she shook hands with people. it really made a difference. gabbard: you guys made a difference. what do you want to study and do when you are a little older? >> i want to be a teacher. a kindergarten teacher. to help kindergartners have an awesome first year. gabbard: thank you. you are awesome. we think about why we're doing what we're doing, there are so many reasons why. you are one of those reasons. will be grow up, you able to pay it forward and help take care. to make sure kids have an awesome first year. election, we have so much at stake. i am the first female combat veteran to ever run for president. i have served in the army national guard for almost 17 years. like so many of the veterans who are in this hall tonight, i have deployed twice to the middle east. i experienced that reality of knowing that death could come at any moment. i have nothing to fear from donald trump. i will bring a fresh, new generation of leadership. with experience and understanding. those creative ideas into real solutions that serve you. that serve your loved ones. that serves our country first and foremost. our democracy belongs to us. don't ever forget that. no matter what the pundits tell do are what we cannot do as americans, remind them and never forget that we the people determine our future. you make the decisions about who you want to lead this country. what kind of government you want for yourselves and your families and this great country. when we stand united, we as americans, we can accomplish anything. my main message to you here tonight is really one of thanks. ar campaign is truly beautiful, inspiring, people powered campaign. that is all of you. people who woke up and said, i am sick and tired of the same old same old. i will do something about it. that is what is happening here. a people powered campaign. we have so much to be proud of. so much to be grateful for. i hope you have a good night sleep tonight. we are back to work tomorrow. i am not joking. we are going to south carolina. i am jumping on the plane right after this. we will continue to spread this message. carolina,ers of south north carolina, georgia, virginia, massachusetts, vermont, maine, we are taking this campaign forward. t that isul -- that is tulsi gabbard thanking her volunteers in the city tonight. tonifer: we have a lot more get to. more coverage on the others of that. to share with you some new information. out.andidates have dropped toldis what michael bennet supporters earlier tonight. bennet: this is a complicated political state. a state filled with thoughtful people who take incredibly seriously their responsibilities. so seriously that they were left decided -- less decided than they were three weeks ago. they decided tonight. tonight will not be our night. you may see me once again. thank you. speeches are these streamed on our website. during the course of our coverage, a chance to hear from all of the candidates. we are ron hilliard of nbc news with some information. in the the votes democratic primary said they were registered as independent. senator sanders got 25%, senator klobuchar 24%, pete buttigieg 21%. senator warren at 7%. placeurth and fifth finishers, senator warren and vice president -- former vice president biden. they will not qualify for delegates in the new hampshire primary. is inthis, joe biden south carolina. he is hoping to save his faltering campaign. interviews with dozens of party leaders and others indicate that it is possible but it may be more difficult than he thinks. that is his dispatch from columbia, south carolina. we want to thank wmu are for allowing us to share with you the coverage in the granite state. it continues right now. be bill weld. as we take a look at this. it was a large victory tonight for the incumbent president, donald. 's 10%.r governor weld there was upwards of 12,000 people. and vice trump president mike pence were both here in the state tonight. a real clear indication that the president considers new hampshire a potential path to victory for him and his reelection. he is paying attention to the state. he had a presence here. the night before the democrats head to the polls, he is watching the state. we want to send it to tim. localstanding by the campaign headquarters tonight. the new hampshire chair of the republican party. what does he have to say tonight? steve is here with a couple hundred people. they're excited and very happy with the turnout for today's primaries. not a surprise but enthusiastic tonight. >> absolutely. we had a phenomenal crowd here and at the rally. it shows the huge support. even though everybody knows it was going to be a foregone conclusion that the president would win and win big, we still had a huge turnout. the secretary is expecting 122,000 publicans to vote. we will break that record by the end of the night. the energy is just amazing. we are getting a great ground game going. people who are helping us along the way are the democrats with all of the crazy things they are doing, all of the horrible things they are doing to the president. it is driving more and more support for republicans and independents to come out and support not just the president by the entire republican party. > you made a big announcement that you would like to share. >> as chairman of the republican, i have had to be completely neutral during the primary process. 8:01, the primary is over and i was able to announce that i am fully supporting the president, donald trump to be reelected as president of the united states. i changed my quote, i came out of the closet and i am full-time supporter of donald trump, as is the entire republican party in new hampshire. >> why are you endorsing the president? >> i have been on board with the president since 2015. i announced my support for the president back on june 16, 2015. i was the first elected official in the country to publicly support donald trump. i have supported him every step of the way since then. it hurt me that it could not support him during the primary process. the first in the nation primary was paramount. over, i amis is excited that i can come out and fully support the president and make sure he gets reelected. >> thank you very much for taking the time. we appreciated. the chairman of the new hampshire republican party announces that he is endorsing president trump. the campaign is telling us that now that the primary is over, they are looking forward to november and president trump taking the granite state. we will send it back over here. this is the first house party for trump. now he has come out clearly for the president. president trump hoping to win new hampshire here. he lost it to hillary clinton by 2700 votes. >> it was a narrow margin. we have 29% of the count in. we have bernie sanders now at 28%, just behind him is a five percentage point gap. this is close, pete buttigieg just behind him. this is even closer, what a slim margin and the top three. amy klobuchar at 20%, elizabeth warren, we already heard from her tonight at 10%. >> looking further down the ballot, joe biden with a percent of the vote. he is about to address supporters at a launch party in south carolina. tom steyer with 3% of the vote. he was a big advertising campaign are here. he spent a lot of money. he is now in nevada tonight preparing for the caucuses. andrew yang announces that he is suspending his campaign with 3% of the vote. he says don't call him out of the picture completely just yet. >> tulsi gabbard at 3%. she says that her campaign does not end in new hampshire. -- governor deval patrick, less than 1%. michael bennet is suspending his presidential campaign. the race is called for donald trump. it is that time of night that we start to go to the nitty-gritty. this is what we are watching. we bring you in. leak, city by the big laconia, this has been a big focus for a lot of the democrats this time around. there was a young democratic activist of that got a lot of people involved in coming to laconia. elsa gabbard was there, pete buttigieg came. this was a bellwether. a town that usually gets it pretty right statewide. pete buttigieg came out on top in laconia. these are our numbers. he got 670 four votes. senator bernie sanders just 23 behind at 600 51. amy klobuchar at 562. just 23 behind at 651. amy klobuchar at 500 622. that margin for pete buttigieg is not big. he needs to make up votes. if he is going to catch bernie sanders, he will have to get victories with slightly larger margins. in terms of cities you want to win, laconia is one of them. pete buttigieg takes that one. >> bernie sanders, it is his backyard and buttigieg will walk out of here with more steam. >> this is the former mayor of south bend, indiana. he walked in here a total unknown. the fact that he is competing like this, people realize he is doing well but sometimes you have to remind yourself it is amazing what he is able to pull off. >> you mention to status of bernie sanders as the front runner. if you think back and you start to compare .2162 today, there were so many things that had to line up for his performance to be equally as strong this time around. that is difficult to do twice in a row. >> particularly when you go from insurgent tomorrow establish candidate. more -- insurgent to more established candidate. john mccain was one that seemed like he was uncomfortable being in front. sanders was similar. solid showing for pete buttigieg. is it enough is the? -- question. >> mike sherry is with the sanders campaign tonight. he has been with us through it all. very much a become party atmosphere. we have heard everything on the speakers as far as music from and the chance are getting louder and louder. the stage is set behind me. the supporters are out there in full force. just listen in. they have been ramping up every couple of minutes. floor., i was on the i spoke with a family from vermont. their support of sanders runs in their dna. a perfect example that bernie's appeal runs across generations. they expressed concern that their daughter would not have a sanders isirement if not elected president. warren's move to the center may have cost her some voters. as that momentum continues to , asd throughout the night you can see, they have a chant for just about everything as they put the results on the big screen. they have all been very favorable throughout the night. we will continue to see how that momentum continues to build. for now, reporting in manchester, mike sherry. number -- another look at these numbers. the top three are very close. 32% of numbers are now in. bernie sanders holding the lead but it is not a huge lead right now. 28%. way behind him is mayor pete buttigieg at 23% and just behind him is senator ab closure -- amy klobuchar at 20%. behind her is massachusetts senator elizabeth warren. nom: we heard from warre earlier. she said it is important that there is no division in the party. it will take teamwork for the democrats to defeat donald trump. she already spoke to her supporters and she is onwards and upwards south carolina. >> an unexpected dynamic to emerge. there was incoming fire to pete buttigieg over these past few days. questions about his level of experience, his age. was he successful enough in pivoting away from that to say that i am looking -- i bring the generational change to politics? i am a fresh candidate to consider. frankly, what he was trying to do is compare success as a smaller city mayor to what that would bring to a larger scale, dysfunctional washington dc. was that a successful message? especially as he moved out of iowa and into new hampshire? machen --y is argie our correspondent. >> this crowd is liking what they are seeing. hear ae do here -- buttigieg and president buttigieg. it just has to be a good finish but he refused to give a ranking of the top two or three, he told us he felt that he really put in the time and effort to get to know new hampshire voters and for them to get to know him. there were times, especially after iowa where he tried to differentiate himself from bernie sanders. claiming that he was more of a moderate. he was trying to get undecided voters and future former republicans. as jennifer mentioned, we talked about this before, he has defended his age and clinical experience in this race but he has one over the supporters -- won over the supporters here. that is clearly meant for michael bloomberg, that is not -- he has not even running in new hampshire. the question even as the results come in is if pete buttigieg is thinking about new hampshire. he is hoping that the results come in quickly and conclusively, unlike iowa. he says he will have family and friends with him here in nashville tonight. tom: the other big headline out of new hampshire on this primary night will be the sudden rise of amy klobuchar. senator from minnesota who was polling in high single digits. after the debate performance in front of the public, she asked for their vote. she has been very much in the middle as a moderate democrat. she asked for votes and her phone numbers instantly started to rise. it appears she is making high marks. >> a lot of the voters got the chance to talk to her, see her, feel her out before the primary. they said they were struck by her ability to unite the party, a lot of people in new hampshire were giving her a very serious first look. >> she compared herself and said she was a senator in the mode of jeanne shaheen and maggie hassan. >> her campaign events around here were packed in the past couple of days. we are standing by at club bush are 10 coders. klobuchar -- headquarters. she is performing in a strong third place. >> a very buoyant movement here. it has been very interesting to watch not only this past weekend but watch her campaign evolve. i was at her very first new hampshire campaign stop on a snowy and icy night. much like this one when she came and talked to a good group of reporters. we saw the surge in numbers. she has been counted out multiple times throughout this race. she said there were people that did not even think she would make it past that blizzard announcement she made in her home state. much less taking third place in the first in the nation primary. we saw those record numbers in nashua. she pulled in 1100 people there. that broke a same-day record. has also been interesting, jen and tom, you were speaking about this, a lot of undecided independent voters who had their name on their list. i had a chance to speak with a lot of undecided voters at the national event. saying i heard -- wmurk on the wmu are debate on tuesday night. now she is part of my top two and top three. we are seeing the numbers that show that message is clicking. we spoke with her husband, john and her daughter, abigail. her husband said he is not surprised that her message started clicking after friday night's debate, especially after the empathy factor that played into that. the unity that she is trying to bring the party together. that was the vibe she gave off. it clicked on friday but she is backing it up with policy. and the message that she believed in all along. they believe that is the success they are going to see here. i think her campaign would consider beating out massachusetts senator and neighboring state in new hampshire on this first in the nation primary night. we will continue to follow the results here. we will let you know when senator klobuchar will make her way out. i will send it back to you. > michael bennet had a goal of 50 town halls in new hampshire. he achieved that, he worked hard here but he has suspended his campaign. jeff is standing by with senator bennett -- jess is standing by with senator bennet. >> what are your thoughts? >> my thoughts are what an incredible privilege it has been . my family has been here. my wife and my three daughters. i think new hampshire and colorado are a lot alike. been such an honor to meet people who take their responsibility as seriously as people in new hampshire do. i feel nothing but gratitude. >> you are handling this very graciously but i know you put a lot of time into this state. what kind of emotions do you have? >> i always knew that i was a long shot. i knew that i had fewer resources than the other candidates, i wasn't as well known. i have pulled together a coherent agenda on the economy, education, referring -- reforming our government. that could be the basis for our -- for democrats to run on all across the country. i feel good about that. i am going to continue to work on that to make sure that i can do everything i can to make sure that donald trump is a one term president. so wehan anything else, can govern the country again. last year, the senate was so broken. we only had 26 votes on amendments in the entire year. we passed eight amendments in the most deliberative body. that is because of the lack of interest of mitch mcconnell and doing the people's business. each of us has a profound responsibility to stand up for our democracy when it is at risk. our democracy is very much at risk. >> what will you take from your time in new hampshire? >> how seriously people take their response ability. so seriously that people were panicked today because they did not know who to vote for. worried they would make the wrong decision. from how warm and friendly the place is, even when you are bowling in a place like where i was, there is never a shortage of people willing to open up their house or business to have a party. they show you what they are doing. people could not have been more generous. you have beautiful mountains and my state has the full mountains. that is another great reason to be here. >> will you be endorsing any other candidate? >> not tonight, i will reflect on that. whoever isou endorse nominated? >> i will work my heart and soul out for whoever the democratic nominee is. >> thank you. >> thank you for your time. tom: michael bennet will be back in the political picture again. and 80's.back he is going to be a figure in democratic party circles for some time to come. >> he is going to take some time to reflect. not endorsing anybody right now. back to our analysts. out are looking at numbers of manchester. who is performing strong so far? >> this is one of the crown jewels. >> tell us how things unfolded, john. : bernie sanders ended up with 6300 votes. that is more than 2000 ahead of istigieg and clover chart 600 behind -- amy klobuchar is 600 behind him. bernie sanders put effort where the population was. of result the kind and that is why india's these large population centers, you will see -- in these large population centers, you will see that. >> high-ranking party officials went with other candidates. >> there is an emerging theme with the endorsements. buttigieg got a big bounce. a lot of people endorsed a candidate that is either not here, competing tonight or did not do well. some of the smaller ones may be more beneficial because the people are closer to the actual voters. that remains to be seen but there is something to be said for those local endorsements. >> here are a couple of thoughts. we are talking about two sides of the political aisle. if you look at the vote tally that joe biden is getting in a distant fifth place and bill weld on the republican side, easily beaten by president trump, there is only a few thousand votes between those two candidates in new hampshire. that is terrifically bad news for joe biden as he goes to south carolina. the new hampshire primary process, i checked in with the secretary state's office. no problems. with the complete mess coming out of iowa, new hampshire is doing what new hampshire does with our paper ballots and electronic counts. it is going smoothly. the polls coming in tonight were remarkably accurate. we were all saying keep an eye on bernie sanders to win, keep petee on klobuchar and buttigieg. i don't see anyone else catching. >> some of the results coming in, some interesting trends, we are seeing some klobuchar doing really well, sometimes buttigieg but one person who did not do well in rural new hampshire is elizabeth warren. >> some of the all-time democratic politics, all the endorsements went to joe biden. what does that mean? where do they go? >> michael bloomberg is watching this. his whole existence is because of joe biden. with joe biden tanking so badly tonight and the question marks as he arrives in south carolina, i don't know where those endorsements go. >> you have to imagine there will be phone calls made into new hampshire starting tonight and he will start looking for local talent and he will start using that money that he has. he will start building something. >> i think you will see something from bloomberg around here fairly soon. >> ok, gentlemen. standby. joe biden is speaking in south carolina. we could get a picture here. this is a rally he is attending tonight to kick off his campaign in the south. let's listen in. >> it is nice to be back in south carolina. [applause] >> great to be with you all tonight. all of you. i hope you love me as much as i love you guys. i have been coming here a long time. i like the low country. please sit down, if you can have a seat. thank you, thank you. for joe biden, i work cedric richman. is taking me to school. other some of the senators came over and came up to see me, they are in session right now. thank you for making the effort. there are so many people from thank -- for me to say you too. i spoke to our people in new hampshire. they did a good job but the people of nevada are watching and i want to make it clear that we praise their diversity as a state. i will be out there very soon. firstt, we heard from the two of the 50 states. two of them, not all of the nation. >> the former vice president can't be in two places at the same time. he is in south carolina, not in new hampshire. let's check with monza -- monica hernandez. >> that was a surprise turn of events for many of the people planning to be here tonight. that was just announced hours before this event kicked off. i want to show you, a very different scene here in nashua in new hampshire versus what you just saw in south carolina. we heard from john lynch. we also heard from joe biden's that saidlerie biden her brother is not stopping here. she said that iowa and new of ahire were just mile 2 marathon. he expects -- she expects to see here before the election. there are still a few supporters left here. they are watching very closely. live in nashua, monica hernandez, wmu are news nine. -- wmur news 9. tom: we can call him no-show joe here in new hampshire tonight. >> we will be right back. wmur takes a commercial break, this tweet from the president on lisbeth warren. he writes elizabeth warren, sometimes referred to as pocahontas is having a bad night. sending signals about wanting out. is out of the race. he is are spending his campaign -- suspending his campaign. country wemoved this love so much in the right direction. and while there is great work left to be done, you know i am guy, and it is clear tonight from the numbers that we will not win this race. i am not someone who wants to accept donations and support and a race we will not win. can i i am announcing i am suspending my campaign for president. >> we love you, andrew. yang: i love you too. [chanting andrew yang] yang: thank you so much, new hampshire. i love you too. easy decision or something i made lightly with the team. endings are hard. i always had the intentions to stay in the race until the very end. but i have been persuaded that the message of this campaign will not be strengthened by my staying in this race any longer. are hard, new hampshire, but this is not an ending, this is a beginning. [cheers and applause] host: andrew yang in manchester, new hampshire. ourspeech is available on website. we are waiting to hear back from the top contenders in new hampshire. senator bernie sanders, former mayor pete buttigieg and our coverage continues with wmur. >> we have about 20% of the vote tallied across the great state of new hampshire. bernie sanders is in the lead with 24,000 votes. pete buttigieg, the mayor of south bend, indiana with 21,000, 24% of the vote. amy klobuchar is in third at 20%. elizabeth warren behind the top three at 10%. >> it is close at the top. joe biden who has exited new hampshire and is now in south carolina, a disappointing story behind him, third who is also not in new hampshire, at 3%. congresswoman tulsi gabbard also at 3%. >> andrew yang is at 3%. deval patrick, we have not heard from. he comes in with less than 1% and michael bennet has dropped out of the race with less than 1%. president trump on the republican side. >> this will be a story so much as a winner, but it could be multiple winners with good stories coming out of new hampshire. we are on standby to hear from senator amy klobuchar. will she move on to close place? not a wide space. what a story she can tell with the momentum coming through this state. inthat is one of the things the new hampshire primary. who becomes that memorable candidate? pete buttigieg doing well tonight, but amy klobuchar is a big part of the conversation, in terms of having a great debate and turning that into a strong finish tonight. >> she should probably send a tv.k you note to wmur 69% of amy klobuchar's supporters who cast alex for her made were saying that they that decision within just the last few days. the debate, the momentum, and she was a custom fit for granted state voters. she talked about working with republicans, right matted outcomes. being a minnesota and who won elections in places where republicans dominate. whattype of talk is resonates with independent voters in new hampshire. that is the person we embrace. it is not a huge surprise she did this well. amy klobuchar is part of the dialogue. >> every event from beginning until recently, she always mentions how closely she works with the jean shaheen and maggie hassan. >> neither of those senators endorsed in this race. running for is reelection. maggie hassan has decided not to endorse. i don't know what the background klobuchar, this was a perfect example of how we always say, half the folks have not made up their mind in the final few days. i believe it is true. some of the polls show that. -- a big number of those went to her. this is a victory for her, a third-place finish. at aght now we are looking lot of numbers coming in as we wait for amy klobuchar to take the stage. i want to talk about in coming out of londonderry. unofficial results. pete buttigieg had a 300 vote margin win over sanders and 200 more. that is something to keep an eye on. as we look at the numbers and range,ttigieg is within it is not close as he wants to be to sanders, that if he can post a few more wins like in laconia, he has to be in play letters. >> just to go back as we wait for amy klobuchar, what we are watching his new hampshire helping to reset the conversation beyond the new hampshire primary. at this point we get to see a battle between pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar, with joe biden having to justify his existence and hold on for dear life in south carolina. it is a three-way conversation for the moderate heart and soul of the democratic option. who will be the alternative to bernie sanders? looks like elizabeth warren will drift into the pack. she will be less and less a part of this conversation. to distinguish -- have to figure out how to distinguish from themselves. amy showed me she knows how to do that. she will raise eyebrows in a good way. this is baked in. that was almost expected. bringr pete buttigieg to up a challenge, this could be a victory for klobuchar. pete buttigieg could win this. so much to consider tonight. you think about how the race stretches out. if you are joe biden or elizabeth warren, the miles ahead start to get longer. if you don't have momentum coming out of new hampshire, things are not looking good. raised $3buchar million off of the debate performance. you know pete buttigieg is doing the same thing. these are two people that will be able to fund raise and have the resources necessary to go the distance. that would have been a question mark about both of them a month ago. now they have a course to capture the nomination. it becomes a lot more real now but they are in second and third place. we are talking about bernie sanders winning those things, but the moderates will be an interesting part of the conversation. >> bernie is not winning by a, that is the spin. enough, that is the spin. >> the executive counselor is probably doing the introduction for amy klobuchar. as we head into that, give us some structure in terms of -- when we talk about election night returns in new hampshire. there are towns that come in late. always waiting on nashua. >> you are a young man, john. >> still waiting on durham. there are a lot of big towns that we need to wait for. there is a lot less on the table. >> obviously nashua is always late. it's big. we talked about endorsements. the mayor endorsed pete buttigieg. gotten -- >> pete did well in lebanon. >> the cities usually take longer. fillinge a lot of towns in. it seems to be a back-and-forth with klobuchar always hanging around. it will really be told by the big population centers. bernie has a big boost in manchester. ehat happens in nashua and kee , n strafford county. >> and durham as well. >> don't forget portsmouth. >> with the two moderates, pete buttigieg and klobuchar up near the top, what does that do to the bloomberg argument? >> i think bloomberg's entire existence has to do with joe biden not doing well. what it does is i think it puts it brighter spot on amy and pete. they are the ones to watch coming out of new hampshire. the rest of the country can learn that. their performance has to be spot on. to dote buttigieg, he has a better job performing on the debate stage. for clovis shark, she has to continue doing what she is doing that got her here. klobuchar take you to headquarters. is ready to speak to her supporters and we are waiting for her. >> we spoke with her after the debate and she said, she was so excited. for: our thanks to wmur allowing you to see how the story is playing out in the granite state. the speeches continue in new hampshire and concord. the amy klobuchar headquarters and results coming in live at c-span.org. ♪
