Nightly news with lester holt. Good evening. Theres some big and intriguing new story lines in the race for president tonight after iowa voters reshuffled the race. There were just two winners, of course, but at least twice that many victorysounding speeches after last nights results followed by the mad overnight dash to New Hampshire. Ted cruz arriving with a surprise tailwind after defying the polls to defeat trump. Marco rubio a close enough third to add a new dynamic to the race. For the democrats it was razor close, but Iowa Democratic party has declared Hillary Clinton the winner over Bernie Sanders who is calling it a virtual tie. The New Hampshire primary a week from tonight just got a whole lot more interesting. Lets start with the cruz trump headline and hallie jackson. Hello, hallie. Reporter hi, lester. The center of the political universe has shifted here less than 24 hours after iowa set a record with 50 more republicans caucusing than ever before. Now, its new some candidates under pressure. Not used to losing were going to win. Were going to win so much. Reporter donald trump finally did, today making headlines with the winning story line all ted cruz. So what a victory last night. Reporter hes deploying the same strategy in windham, New Hampshire as he did near windham, iowa, shake lots of hands. A local volunteer with the ted cruz campaign. Reporter make lots of calls and take on trump. Donald trump was saying every day that i was his friend, that he loved me, and now im an anchor baby. He or anyone else insults me i dont respond in kind. Reporter but youve attacked them . I do think differences on policy, on record, on substance, thats fair game. Reporter our conversation coming just after cruzs victory speech last night which trump today slammed for being too long, too flamboyant, taking a tone very different from his gracious one last night. And i want to congratulate ted, and all of the incredible candidates. Reporter trump now in New Hampshire where he leads by double digits. His edge here, more independent voters and fewer evangelicals, a Crucial Group for cruz in iowa, and by the time New Hampshire votes tuesday, trumps decision to bail on the des moines debate may not resonate anymore. Anything can happen because New Hampshire voters really make up their mind on that final weekend. Reporter while cruz hopes to frame this as a oneonone duel, one point behind trump in iowa was marco rubio, a strong third. Isnt this a threeman race now . Well, listen, thats up to the voters. I have to say im amused at the media talk about what an impressive third place fin snish but a new state means a new race, now just run week away. H ha llie jackson, nbc news, windham, New Hampshire. Reporter this is Gabe Gutierrez covering the rubio campaign. Rarely has a third place finish felt so much like a victory. Today marco rubio fought to keep that momentum. Ill see you in the morning. A ground game that swayed late undecided voters, rubio shattered expectations in iowa, surging into the top three of the republican field. So this is the moment they said would never happen. Reporter and emerging as the first viable gop alternative to cruz and trump. They told me that we have no chance because my hair wasnt gray enough and my boots were too high. Reporter even polling at 15 , yet he raked in a surprising 23 , one percentage point behind trump. Are you the real establishment candidate here . You know, i think people always use that terminology. Ive had to run against the establishment. That said i want to unify the party. Reporter now the question is how much will that establishment rally behind him, or will donors support other candidates, jeb bush, john kasich or Chris Christie . Today christie took rubio head on. This isnt the Student Council election, everybody. This is an election for president of the united states. Lets get the boy in the bubble out of the bubble. Reporter some strong words from christie. I think thats been for chris and some of the other guys. Reporter rubio looking past New Hampshire. Im putting my confidence and my trust in marco rubio. Reporter announcing an endorsement from South Carolina senator tim scott. Rubio wants to make the case in New Hampshire that unlike ted cruz he can appeal to republicans in a much more moderate state, and so thats how he wants to position himself as the anticruz. Reporter many analysts are predicting a 3, 2, 1 strategy for rubio, if he finishes third in iowa, second in iowa and first in South Carolina, that could be the path to the nomination. Lester. For democrats it was the closest race in iowa caucus history, so tight that iowas Democratic Party did not declare Hillary Clinton a winner and by a narrow margin until late this afternoon. Bernie sanders has not ruled out contesting the count. Weve got both campaigns covered started with nbcs andrea mitchell. Reporter in new sounding triumphant. I am so thrilled that im coming to New Hampshire after winning iowa reporter but the stark reality is after starting out 40 points ahead of Bernie Sanders she ended up with a razor thin victory. Tails. Tails. Reporter it even took coin tosses to get there and the delegates will be virtually evenly split. Clinton today telling Msnbcs Chris Matthews she was relieved at the outcome. Everybody said if there was a big turnout that would advantage senator sanders. There was a big turnout, and we won. Reporter but iowa entrance poll reveals her weaknesses. Among the biggest, the crushing defeat among young voters, losing them by 84 to 14 . Why are young voters going for sanders . Do you understand what that dynamic is . Absolutely . Reporter what is it . System is rigged against you, vote for big banks and tax the billion airs and give you free college and cut the cost of health care, end of story. Reporter after squeaking out a win in iowa, clinton is now sounding more like sanders. I know that we can finish the job of universal Health Care Coverage for every single man, woman and child reporter shes now trying to lower expectations here in New Hampshire where sanders from neighboring vermont has a doubledigit lead, hoping her husband, who was once the comeback kid here, will help her at least avoid too big a defeat. Andrea mitchell, nbc news, manchester, New Hampshire. Reporter im kasie hunt with the Sanders Campaign in New Hampshire where they are hoping to turn iowa momentum into his first 2016 victory next tuesday. And last night we began the Political Revolution not just in iowa, not just in New Hampshire but all over this country. Reporter sanders criticizing clinton after this comment last night. I am a progressive for people. Reporter do you think Hillary Clinton is a progressive . Some days, yes. Except when she announces that she is a proud moderate and then i guess shes not a progressive reporter vermont senator still riding high after that near miss in the Iowa Caucuses that the Campaign Says was anything but a loss. It looks like we are in a virtual tie. Reporter according to entrance poll, that performance was powered by firsttime caucusgoers who went for him 59 to 37 . But those polls also show a steep challenge for sanders. Iowa democrats who are most concerned about which candidate can win in november backed points. Well, i like you, bernie, i want to vote for you, but i just dont think you can win. Well, i think that today we took a giant step to overcome that kind of doubt. Reporter it was a whirlwind night for sanders. A red eye flight to New Hampshire where hundreds of supporters rallied for him at what time is it . Thats amazing. Reporter another sign of that enthusiasm . After his speech last night Bernie Sanders raised over 1 million. Lester . All right, kasie, thanks. Lets turn to chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of meet the press. Chuck, what impact will last night have it is a plays ought over New Hampshire the next week . Now we see a shift in the burden of proof on candidacies n. Iowa the burden of proof and Hillary Clinton and ted cruz. Ted cruz passed his Hillary Clinton barely passed her test. Now the burden of proof shifts in New Hampshire to Bernie Sanders and donald trump. Donald trump and Bernie Sanders have had doubledigit leads in New Hampshire for weeks. Now they have to win here. Well, Hillary Clinton might have a little bit of momentum, the clintons have done well in New Hampshire in the past, and now we know everything into the air on the republican side of things. So i think thats the suddenly mustwin states for sanders and trump. All right, chuck. Thank you. There are a pair of troubling new developments in the zika virus outbreak. Doctors in the u. S.
