[ crowd chanting four more years ] >> reporter: the president began on an optimistic note touting his first three years and the strong economy. >> the state of our union is stronger than ever before. >> reporter: but this was trumpian optimism. boasting of his success while offering a dark view of his political opponents. >> if we hadn't reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration, the world would not now be witnessing this great economic success. >> reporter: the speaker's jaw dropping as trump attacked the state of california. >> the state of california passed an outrageous law declaring their whole state to be a sanctuary for criminal illegal immigrants. a very terrible sanctuary with catastrophic results. >> reporter: democrats jeered when the president asked for a bill to lower drug prices. they chanted the name of a bill they had already passed but it's been so far ignored by the republican controlled senate. [ crowd chanting hr 3 ] >> reporter: the president attacked a democratic health care proposal championed by some of the presidential candidates and a label embraced by bernie sanders. >> to those watching at home tonight i want you to know we will never let socialism destroy american health care. >> reporter: there were moments of uplifting unity tailor made for primetime television. a 100-year-old tuskegee airman who flew combat missions in world war ii and his great grandson were cheered. a pennsylvania girl was given a scholarship to go to the school of her choice, and a family of a soldier deployed to afghanistan reunited. >> tonight we have a very special surprise. i am thrilled to inform you that your husband is back from deployment. he is here with us tonight and we couldn't keep him waiting any longer. >> reporter: in a first, this moment which energized republicans and horrified democrats in the hall. a medal of freedom for controversial radio host rush limbaugh who announced this week he is battling late stage lung cancer. and when it was over, speaker pelosi dramatically ripped up the pages of the president's speech. the president did not mention impeachment in his speech, but he'll certainly have more to say about that after the senate convenes for a vote today that is sure to end in acquittal. >> and, jon, you've been in that chamber for states of the union going back 20 years, democratic and republican presidents. there's always a divide in the chamber but nothing like last night. >> reporter: george, state of the union addresses are often political speeches. i've never seen anything like this. the scene in the chamber -- you had the chants of four more years, you had boos and growns from the democratic side throughout the speech. for half the hall it looked like they were at a political convention and the other half looked like they were taken hostage. george? >> jon karl, thanks very much. robin. george, now to the race for 2020. chaos from the iowa caucuses where the full results are still not in. more of the partial results were released overnight showing pete buttigieg holding a narrow lead over bernie sanders. elizabeth warren and joe biden rounding out the top four. those results could still change but the candidates already are moving on with the new hampshire primary just six days away. whit johnson is there in manchester with more for us. good morning, whit. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. the democratic candidates are trying to focus on the next big contest here in new hampshire but they are still haunted by iowa in the rearview mirror with some blasting the process and multiple candidates claiming victory. this morning, the final results in iowa are still being counted but that hasn't stopped both former mayor pete buttigieg and senator bernie sanders from claiming the first big win of the 2020 campaign. >> this is an astonishing victory for our organization, our values, our campaign and our candidacy. >> reporter: after arriving in new hampshire, buttigieg launching a string of events pitching himself as the moderate front-runner. >> we had a victorious night. >> reporter: preliminary results put buttigieg in just a narrow lead over senator bernie sanders who pointed to other numbers in iowa that he says give him an edge. >> i'm very proud to tell you that last night in iowa we received more votes on the first and second round than any other candidate. >> reporter: both candidates hoping to capitalize on momentum and to gain a boost in the new hampshire primary. >> i'm focused on the road ahead. >> i'm confident that here in new hampshire i know they'll be able to count your votes. >> reporter: others expressing frustration over the iowa meltdown and continued delay in results. senator elizabeth warren criticizing the process. >> i just don't understand what that means to release half of the data. so i think they ought to get it together and release all of the data. >> reporter: but former vice president joe biden currently in fourth place saying there's no rush. >> let's give them time. so we don't know precisely how many delegates we have or how many we'll get but i feel really good about getting more than our fair share. >> reporter: the iowa democratic party now taking heat for the chaos. the chair blaming a coding error in the caucus app and apologizing for the mishap. >> the reporting of the results and circumstances surrounding the 2020 iowa democratic party caucuses were unacceptable. as chair of the party, i apologize deeply for this. we have been working day and night to make sure that these results are accurate. >> reporter: in a state where candidates have spent $71 million and hosted over 2,300 events, the caucuses were supposed to narrow down the crowded field. despite the confusion one candidate embracing a positive take on the debacle. >> i don't blame them for trying to be really careful after what happened last night. it is very unfortunate, but i have faith they will get the numbers in. >> reporter: the dnc chair is now promising that reporting app that caused so many problems in iowa will not be used in nevada or any other caucus states during this primary season. george? >> okay, whit, thanks very much. let's bring in our chief political analyst, matthew dowd. matt, before the voting on monday, the democratic race was pretty scrambled. this slow rollout of the results scrambles it even more. >> absolutely more. we always say that iowa indicates what's ahead in this race and maybe it is and maybe cha what's ahead is won't know the answer to who the nominee is for a lengthy process. we had higher odds that we would go to a convention without someone winning a majority of delegates. with what just happened in iowa with no firm conclusion on that until 24, 36 hours out, it increases the odds of no nominee. >> you can't roll back the clock, but imagine if on monday night these results, if they hold firm, pete buttigieg would have been announced as the winner. >> he would have gotten a huge bump out of this for the next 48 hours. he is going to get some. he is raising more money online than he has in the previous campaign. he's getting endorsements. he will get a little bump, not near the bump he would have gotten but i think friday night becomes more important than what happened in iowa on monday. >> the debate. >> friday night becomes more important after what happened in iowa monday. >> you talk about the chances of a brokered convention increasing which i think you're right about that. that means monday night and these results were good news for donald trump and probably mike bloomberg. >> yeah, i think the two winners on monday night besides a little for pete buttigieg was donald trump. he thrives in chaos. it was a chaotic moment for the democratic party. that helps him. and michael bloomberg who skipped iowa didn't go anywhere near it, wanted the field to be in chaos. he too is going to thrive on chaos and is spending millions and millions of dollars in those states coming in march. >> he's already spent $200 million and announced yesterday he will double that spending. >> we have to keep in mind, there's only 150 delegates chosen in february. in the first ten days 1,700 delegates are chosen in march. >> as matt mentioned friday night we'll have the final debate. that's at 8:00 eastern on abc. michael? >> george, also in washington today the close of president trump's trial in the senate is just hours from now. the senate poised to acquit trump on both articles of impeachment. mary bruce is tracking the latest on capitol hill this morning. good morning, mary. >> reporter: michael, good morning. after five months of investigating and a fierce partisan fight, the senators will stand at their desk and declare guilty or not guilty. now, republicans here are united. they argue this has been a partisan process and that the president's actions don't meet the standard for removal of office but we are seeing a growing number of republicans saying that the president's actions were wrong, he crossed a line by asking ukraine to investigate joe biden. arned his lesson and that trump will not do it again while democrats are arguing the option. they say the president will cheap in the upcoming election and this could be a difficult political decision from several democrats from red states who could possibly join with republicans which of course would allow the president to tout a bipartisan acquittal. michael? >> very difficult indeed, thank you so much, mary. george will anchor live coverage of the impeachment trial at 4:00 p.m. eastern right here on abc news and abc newslive. robin? to that major storm moving across the country this morning stretching from the plains to the northeast. snow falling in amarillo, texas, and millions waking up to snow, severe storms and ice. ginger, of course, is tracking it all for us. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, robin. a few more of our friends in oklahoma city will be able to watch us longer. schools are closed in oklahoma city. ou closed. you can see the pictures coming in. our affiliate koco has been giving road conditions. you can see spinouts live in action and had two to three inches already and should end up between four and six. a couple more hours left. amarillo, this is what the roads look like there, they had up to ten inches between abilene and lubbock. let's dive into the region that will see the action. not just texas and oklahoma but stretches all the way up through missouri. if you're traveling i-35 or perhaps tulsa on 44 through springfield over to st. louis, all of you in a winter storm warning. that champions parade in kansas city should see a little snow fly there. this is just the back end. the front has severe storms, damaging wind. i will get all of that in later. george?
