>> mona, as we're waiting for that, back in 2012 mitt romney really represented what much of the republican party stood for. fast forward, so many of them not very happy with his vote. and the president just tweeting about that. >> reporter: that's right, so the president has long dismissed his impeachment as purely partisan. and he was actually hoping for some democratic votes in order to underscore that. but with mitt romney's vote, it seems that now democrats can point to that and say that, again, it wasn't a bipartisan acquittal. and actually doug jones was on the fence, for example, of alabama. but the president not letting this go easily. he's calling romney a republican poseur, as i mentioned, and that's just to put it mildly. so we can expect him to continue holding that against him. we saw his relationship with the late senator john mccain and how he kept bringing john mccain's name up even after he passed away. so the president not known to easily let things go. janai?

>> i think the key is to the future is the desire to win, focus on the future, open the door to a new generation. >> reporter: buttigieg taking a victory lap through new hampshire. with caucus confusion fresh in the rear-view mirror, bernie sanders arguing the race is still close in iowa. >> i assume that one of these years that vote count will be completed. we are winning the popular vote. >> reporter: and joe biden says he's counting on new hampshire voters to give him a boost. his campaign also tells us they're built for the long game, including super tuesday next month, when more than 1,300 delegates are up for grabs. whit johnson, abc news, manchester, new hampshire. >> our thanks to whit on the campaign trail. the coronavirus has forced 1,500 passengers and crew into quarantine on two different cruise ships in asia. ten new cases were found on the ship in japan over the last day. those victims have been moved to hospitals. there have now been 20 cases total on that ship. the second vessel is docked in hong kong. and here at home in the u.s., a 12th confirmed case has been diagnosed in wisconsin. health officials say the patient was exposed to the virus during a recent visit to beijing. the person is isolated in their home. the number of confirmed cases in china is now over 28,000 with more than 560 deaths. a second quickly built hospital is opening today. schools in shanghai are closed until the end of the month at least. the infamous bernie madoff says he's dying from kidney failure and wants an early release from prison. the 81-year-old still has 139 years left on his sentence after swindling thousands of investors out of billions of dollars in the largest ponzi scheme in history. his attorney says madoff has less than 18 months to live. if released he would live with a friend. a day of celebration in kansas city, missouri, started with moments of chaos thanks to a police chase before the victory parade. >> the wild scene happened along the route there. the car broke through barricades as hundreds of people watched police cars chase it down. officers finally boxed in that sedan. whoa, look at that. the driver was wrestled to the ground. he and his passenger were detained. police say the driver may have been impaired. he is expected to face charges. >> the parade itself went off without a hitch. hundreds of thousands of fans came out in subfreezing temperatures to celebrate the chiefs' first title since 1970. head coach andy reid thanked the fans and promised another celebration next year. meanwhile super bowl liv mvp patrick mahomes, one-handed catch there, snagged a beer, bowed to the crowd, and chugged it down. he said he wanted the win in part so coach reid could get his first title. i said before, i went to the university of missouri, so literally all up and down my timeline yesterday, all i saw was pictures from this parade. >> this one, not the police chase. >> nope, no, i did not see -- >> people were happy with this parade, they were celebrating. it's crazy because a lot of these players weren't even born -- >> in 1970. >> -- the last time they won the super bowl, the kansas city chiefs. and also, another star from this -- >> probably not any of them. >> well, that's true. another star from this parade and rally, travis kelce -- because kelce's brother plays with the philadelphia eagles. when they won the super bowl, jason kelce revved up the crowd there in philadelphia. now on social media there's this like back and forth about which kelce is better?
