together to begin the process. to end the presidency of donald trump. >> after that debate, something switched. it just allowed the people of new hampshire to see me in a different way. >> the idea that this is -- if you come in third or fourth in the first two primaries, or caucus and a primary, that that knocks you out of the box. we're jury getting going. >> this is going to be a street fight for the presidency. >> we begin following the campaign with the hot hand, nbc news road warrior vaughn hillyard with the buttigieg campaign from concord. what are you seeing there? >> you were with me last night at one of the buttigieg rallies. we just came from down the road in plymouth, new hampshire. i want you to listen to pete buttigieg's closing message. it's similar to the one you heard in iowa targeting not only democrats but republicans and independents in the state. take a listen. >> a big part of this is to make sure he can't suck all the attention in his direction. so will i call him out? absolutely. this president ought to have to debate someone who is not afraid to remind fellow believers that god does not belong to a political party. >> there are 415,000 registered independents in new hampshire. they can take part in the democratic process tomorrow. that's where locations like this, we're on the second floor of the concord pete buttigieg campaign organizing office here. and we just rolled in. there's 15 of these offices the campaign has across the state. and they have phone banking and folks knocking doors. this is sort of what the buttigieg campaign is built up over the course of the last year. it worked in iowa. and they're trying to pull it off here. they have 75 on staff. but a good number of volunteers that are also here activating the state here. i want to introduce you to one individual. your name, sir? >> bruce. >> reporter: bruce. when did you start volunteering for this campaign? >> last february. >> reporter: a year later, what does it feel like to be here? >> hope. really. it's just this truth gives us a chance to believe again. >> reporter: you're a concord resident. >> i am. >> reporter: to see where this campaign was one year ago to now, what has that been like to watch that evolve and what should folks understand about your operation? >> exciting. they started to see what i saw then. and i -- i look forward to the campaign. i'm really hopeful. >> awesome. >> reporter: bruce, thank you. it's folks like bruce that you meet along the way from communities like this that have gotten involved and are now the ones really trying to make that case here in the state. we can look at polling numbers all we want, but as was evidenced in iowa, it's ultimately 24 hours from now who shows up on primary night. i think there's going to be a lot we'll find out from that. >> great to have the ground reporting. thank you, vaughn. here with me in manchester, vox politics reporter who also worked for the concord monitor, ella wilson, democratic chairperson, kathleen sullivan, and kathleen rice of new york who appears today as a pete buttigieg surrogate. great to have all of you here. >> thank you. >> normally we begin with the more senior official, but since you represent pete buttigieg, i want to start there. when you see the crowd gathered doing the work, that matters. you want a house party, not a lie praye library. >> we're seeing a lot of energy for a lot of the candidates. yesterday there were thousands of people going out to see a lot of the candidates. and not just the top four or five candidates. there are hundreds of people going out to see the others too. in new hampshire, we take it really seriously. there are still a lot of undecided voters. i talked to two people today who still hadn't made up their minds. i said you have to do it soon or when you go in to vote, you've got to vote for someone. >> is it cool to be undecided here? >> it's not it's cool, but it's typical. new hampshire always makes their minds up late. i think there are more people making their minds up late this year and there will be people making up their minds tomorrow when they drive up to the polls to vote. >> congresswoman? >> i spent some time this morning in salem at a house party. and every single person that i met this morning had never canvassed for a presidential candidate before. one person who was there voted for bernie in 2016 and another was a republican. so what you're seeing at least what that shows me is that what pete is doing here in new hampshire is really appealing to a very broad group of voters. hog r he is a uniter, meeting people where they are, and he's sending them a message that they want to hear. >> what would it mean for him to be the youngest nominee and if he won the youngest president ever? >> obviously it would be historic. i'm a big believer in power not staying too long in one hands. i think it's really important to engage younger people and pass the torch to the next generation of leaders. that's what pete represents. >> the harder question for him, and i'll remind you, we have folks from all the different campaigns over the course of our coverage. but the harder question is we just saw the clip of him talking about how to go at donald trump. how to go at the republican party. his faith. his military experience. a lot of people eyeing the attributes. but he's never beat a republican in a state-wide race. he's never run against a tough winning republican in the senate let alone donald trump who has proven himself to be resilient. i think it's fair to say. how does the campaign address that? >> well, i think you can look at all the republicans who ran four years ago and say they've never faced someone like donald trump before. not that i'm making a comparison to donald and pete, but the reality is that what people want is someone who is an outsider. someone who has not been in the game over and over again for decades. and that's what pete represents. he represented a small midwestern town as mayor. he speaks the language that people speak. he's dealt with their problems on a daily basis, and people are sick and tired to the same old stuff in washington. i'm there. i've been there for five and a half years. people are sick of the dysfunction in washington. i think it would be great to bring someone in from the outside and i think that's clearly how pete did so well as well as he did in iowa. by the way, across the entire state. not just in suburban areas but rural and urban areas as well. because his message is one of uniting people. and he is not a fixture of washington which i think is refreshing in a year like this. >> and ella, you've been out here tracking this. i want to show the shifts we're seeing in the boston globe polling. the early polls relatively meaningless. the national polls aren't relevant. it's a series of states. in this new hampshire state data you see since february third on the right, you see who is on the climb. it's buttigieg and klobuchar. what does it tell you in the way we do our primaries, however much it's phenomenon criticized that this is a retail politics state. people go to the events. we were at them this weekend, and those two names are raising? >> one of the things i would say, if you look at the schedules of the candidates in the last week, i mean, buttigieg and klobuchar are working very hard for these votes that they're trying to get. they have been doingho aren't going to support elizabeth warren or bernie sanders, i think that they are looking for maybe a fresher face than, say, biden whose main pitch is his experience and sort of bringing this stability to washington. i mean, i think that people who i've talked to who are looking at a moderate candidate say they really like the fresh face that buttigieg brings. they think he's articulate. people have been impressed with klobuchar's debate performance. i talked to a new hampshire voter who is trying to decide between the two of them. much like kathy said, this might go down to the wire. i might make the decision in the voting booth. >> then there's the question of who builds the coalition? do you look at freafrican ameri voters which are typically the outside share of any winning coalition for democrats or when there's underperformance, often a losing national race. if you look at this in the national poll of the support, you see buttigieg in the lower left corner. this has stood out as compared to anyone else. even if you say okay, sort of per kapt capita, he's doing the weakest there. how much do you think that matters in a race where the ultimate question is what kind of coalition do you build? >> it matters hugely. there's so much focus on iowa and new hampshire, but both of the these states are majority white. i mean, i would say about 90% white, maybe a little bit less in iowa. and so we have been -- there's been so much focus on the states. the race is about to go to nevada and south carolina, two more diverse states and onto super tuesday where it's a national race. you have to take in groups like african american voters, latino voters. i think it's a big question here how he can appeal to those groups. and voters here, you know, white voters here, are also questioning that as they take a look and see who they want to vote for. >> i think that is true. that the voters here are looking to see who can build that broad coalition, because there's a lot of strategy going on in the minds of each individual voter, especially those undecided voters at this point. and there is a lot of people out on the ground, volunteers organizing. this weekend i talked to several people who had people knocking on their doors for elizabeth warren. pete buttigieg and bernie sanders. everybody had gotten a door knock from the warren campaign, and the others had gotten from the warren campaign plus buttigieg and bernie. that's the last minute going to the wire. when you talk to people, they say we have to nominate the person who's going to beat donald trump. that's first on everybody's mind. who can build the broad coalition. one of the great things about this process is we go to nevada and south carolina. because this period has been structured so that our party hears from all the voices in the democratic party. north, east, midwest, south, southwest. and i think we're going to end up with a candidate at the end of this process who is the candidate who can beat donald trump. >> as you say, the president looms over here not only as obviously the person you're running against, but he's across the street building a huge crowd, playing in every place and trying to capitalize on perception of disarray by the democrats in iowa. it's a huge contrast. thank you to congresswoman rice representing the buttigieg campaign. the rest of the panelists will stay. stay with us. coming up next, the rise of saturday sanders. we'll look at the democratic party's biggest outsider who has become something of a front runner in several early states. also i just talked to michael moore, out campaigning with bernie sanders about his support. we'll get into all of that. you're watching a live edition of msnbc in manchester, new hampshire. introducing even more value from fidelity. fidelity now has zero commissions for online u.s. equity trades and etfs. and fidelity also offers zero account fees for brokerage accounts, plus zero minimums to open an account. and only fidelity offers four zero expense ratio index funds directly to investors. with all of those zeros, there are zero reasons to invest anywhere else. fidelity. ♪ so maybe i'll win ♪ saved by zero ♪ so maybe i'll win va mortgage rates have dropped fto near 50 year lows.. call newday usa. one call can save you $2000 a year. with the newday va streamline refi there's no income verification, no appraisal and no out of pocket costs. and my team can close your loan in as little as 30 days. one call can save you $2000 every year. this one is for my kids. who are now in their 20s and 30, and we are leaving them with a world where they are in debt up to their ears. with college debt, with medical debts. and we're leaving them with a planet that is choking. and we're going to probably escape the worst of it. but our kids and grand kids, they are not. >> listening to michael moore campaigning for bernie sanders and final whirlwind weekend. we're in new hampshire in manchester. everyone getting ready to head to the polls. sanders campaign is announcing a recanvas of the satellite caucuses in iowa. they believe with the results with refined he might win an additional delegate. sanders surging ahead in a boston globe field, with 27%. pete buttigieg on his heels. joining me now is a reporter covering the sanders campaign. what are you seeing? >> let's start with the news out of iowa. the sanders campaign. it was previewed on friday saying he didn't want a total recount or recanvas of the results in iowa but he wants the party to look into irregularities in certain precincts. that's what they are doing today with the letter officially asking that in about 25 precincts and three satellite caucus locations for the party to look through the results. for senator sanders here in new hampshire, his message has not been on iowa. he said he had a popular vote win there. he's asking for the voters of new hampshire to give him the victory this time around. he feels good in the position he's coming in at. you talked about the poll numbers and he's been staying on message saying that he is different because he is about the working people compared to other candidates with billionaires and millionaires. listen to a little bit of that message right now. >> why do we end up in a nation where so few have so much? why do we end up in a nation where billionaires are buying elections? the history of any movement that has brought about significant change, it is when millions of people stand together and say you know what? the status quo is not working. we need change. >> and the senator will be here in just about an hour or so. this is a field office. these are the volunteers who were born to be knocking on doors. he believes these people are going to lead him to victory from the primary come tomorrow. >> thanks, shaquille. i'm back with kathleen sullivan a and a professor studying a special role in this process. nice to see you all. when you look at bernie sanders, our reporters have talked about it. you've heard it. we've been in the field. these are rallies where people are finishing his sentences. they know him. they know the message. they seem really into it. what does that mean to you in following new hampshire and how well he's historically done here? >> you know, it means, one, that bernie sanders has a very cohesive, very solid bunch of supporters. so even if he's at 30%, it's a solid 30%. and all the rest of the field is trying to figure out where their vote is coming from. but bernie knows. that whole block is set. and he may grow a little bit, but the rest of them are just trying to figure out how can i get in the same neighborhood? >> he was also questioned about his age. we're talk act the youth of a different candidate before, about his age, and his health. it is striking that someone can, as you say with such loyal supporters, come back from a heart attack and not have it appear to affect his momentum. here he was addressing that issue. take a listen. >> you did have a heart attack apparently. shouldn't voters see your medical records? >> we'll release as much documentation i think as any other candidate. >> but no other candidates had a heart attack. >> look, no other candidate is doing four or five events a day running all over this country. we have doctors, cardiologists confirming that i am in good health. i am in good health. >> from your actual research, on the evidence, do voters care about this or not? >> they will care about it if and when bernie sanders becomes the front runner of the democratic party which could happen sooner rather than later. i think in the past several years the media didn't necessarily take sanders seriously. in he wins new hampshire tomorrow and then nevada, he becomes the potential nominee of the party, that level of scrutiny i think on sanders is going to go up. although, we haven't seen much scrutiny of president trump's health over the last several years either. >> i think one other point we have to remember is four years ago senator sanders won in a landslide in new hampshire. but right now 70% of the new hampshire voters appear to be looking at other candidates. perhaps more than 70%. and how much of the vote he lost in the last four years. i think a lot of it has to do with that we have other candidates for people to look at. but i think with bernie sanders, he has a core of support. but he hasn't really been able this time to expand beyond that core of support. and the question becomes is there a coalescing tomorrow around another candidate? it could be a coalescing around somebody like warren, klobuchar, buttigieg, biden in. i think we leave with four or five candidates going onto nevada, and south carolina. >> that's interesting from you. you know they always said two tickets out. historically, no one had ever won the nomination without finishing top two here. you're saying that doesn't apply because the field is larger? historically no one had ever hired a reality show to become president. history is only good up to a point. >> it's a great thing all these other states are going to have an opportunity to choose from four or five, perhaps six candidates. and that's a good thing for the process, because it never should be and it's never really been decided in new hampshire. i think it's important for this to go to the other states and to give people from around the country that opportunity to look at the candidates and decide who the best nominee will be for our party. >> we've been focussed on sanders' rise. before i lose you, dante, what do you see in klobuchar who seems to be rising quickly and the press often makes mistakes when it tries to get ahead of the voters. the klobuchar rise, if nothing else, seems to tell us voters here and maybe elsewhere are still giving really open minded consideration to who is left. >> yeah. i mean, there's a history of those last days in new hampshire having a big impact. kathy remembers hillary clinton and barack obama. the weekend debate before new hampshire, obama was leading double dilkts but by the tuesday he had lost new hampshire to hillary clinton. there are a lot of moderates out shopping for candidates over the past several days with joe biden doing worse than expected. some of them may wind up with klobuchar at the end. >> everyone stays with me. what i want to do is fit in a break. we'll look at the shifts in the last minute polling. it could have real clues the klobuchar rise, the biden fall. more to get to. we'll speak with warren's campaign surrogate and congresswoman katie porter. you're watching msnbc live from manchester, new hampshire. ire. saturdays happen. pain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. ♪ ♪ ♪ everything your trip needs for everyone you love. expedia. othroughout the country for the past twelve years, mr. michael bloomberg is here. vo: leadership in action. mayor bloomberg and president obama worked together in the fight for gun safety laws, to improve education, and to develop innovative ways to help teens gain the skills needed to find good jobs. obama: at a time when washington is divided in old ideological battles he shows us what can be achieved when we bring people together to seek pragmatic solutions. bloomberg: i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message. >> man: what's my my truck...is my livelihood. so when my windshield cracked... the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me. >> tech: hi, i'm adrian. >> man: thanks for coming. ...with service i could trust. right, girl?

>> there are a lot of americans who want to see a candidate who is rising above the bickering, especially in this age of trump with so many pot shots being taken by that president. at so many different people. i'm proud of the way that liz be -- elizabeth warren has spoken positively about the other candidates. elizabeth warren picked up a great many supporters on the ground from the biden camp, from the yang camp, from the steyer camp, from other camps that were not viable. i was in new hampshire yesterday. big crowd. 700 plus people. and the diversity is important. everyone said there were three tickets coming out of iowa. elizabeth warren got a strong third place finish in iowa. i think it's important to note here that amy klobuchar and vice president biden spent a lot of time on the ground in iowa. that was a border state for minnesota for senator klobuchar, and she came in fifth in sort of her home stomping ground where voters knew her best and had the most exposure to her. i think this is still a big field. it's a complicated primary with folks like mike bloomberg who are not really even on the ballot in places. and i get messages all the time in folks in california mailing in their mail-in ballots which has begun and mailing in the ballots for elizabeth warren. i don't think we've heard enough about that story. >> there's the old saying if you want a friend in politics, get a dog which brings us to elizabeth warren's dog bailey and a moment on the campaign trail. take a look. >> do you whisper into bailey's ear, who is going to be my mike pence? who is going to look at me with adoring eyes every time i stand up? or are you -- >> i already have a dog. >> tell us about that side of elizabeth warren which matters in retail campaigning. very fun and gentle knock, but a knock nonetheless at mike pence and invoking bailey who we hear is popular. >> she's absolutely quick witted. she's funny. she's sharp. this is a woman who managed to get herself out of her -- out of oklahoma onto college on a debate scholarship. when it comes time to go toe to toe with donald trump, she has the ability to think on her feet and the courage of quick wit to defeat donald trump in the debates and make the strongest possible contrast. robotic talking points don't work when you're up against a candidate like president trump who has so many different ways and directions that he goes. so i think someone who has that quick wit and the ability to make the audience laugh, but at the same time really drive home what the selection was about. i think she has tremendous retail politics stills. we saw it in iowa with her strong third place finish. many points ahead. it's important to remember coming out of iowa, klobuchar picked up one delegate. elizabeth picked up eight. that's a big gap for senator klobuchar to close. while i'm proud of her campaign as well and i'm all in for supporting women in politics, women winning and i think that's something we saw out of 2018. women can win elizabeth warren made a strong showing on the ground in iowa relative to senator klobuchar who was in her own backyard. >> you make an important point on the evidence, particularly with regard to the gender politics. sanders and biden very well known and had run in that state for president before, at least once. she beat one of them. she came in third in iowa's strong finish. that's not nothing as you say. congressman porter, thank you so much. >> thank you. appreciate it. we're going to continue on here with our exciting hour. next as mentioned, joe biden collapsing fast. what does it mean and where does it go from here? our panel stays. you're watching msnbc live from manchest manchester, new hampshire one day out of the first big primary. st big primary. ♪ i thought i had my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis under control. turns out, it was controlling me. seemed like my symptoms were taking over our time together. i knew i needed to talk to my doctor. think he'll make it?

>> i saw joe biden at a town hall in peter burrough, about 45 minutes west of here. you get a sense democrats here like the vice president. they have good feelings toward him, but there wasn't that electric feeling of excitement for the vice president that i had seen at a bernie sanders event the night before. i think the biden had done well in iowa, i think a lot of new hampshire democrats would have said okay. it's joe. or if it's joe or bernie, we're going to go with joe biden, but when he did so poorly in iowa, the whole rationale for his argument which was his electability took such a hit that we see all these moderate democrats now out shopping because they just lost confidence that the front runner could do what he said he was going to do. >> yeah. can we talk about electability for a moment. this one of the weirder claims in politics. if your claim is vote for me because other people vote for me, you're setting yourself up for a fall the moment other people don't vote for you. number one. number two, we've talked about how things are changing. some things changing in ways that are concerning for the large segment of the public. some things changing in interesting ways. the last two presidents did not start out their primary campaigns in 20 -- 2007 people didn't look at obama and say he's the most electable in the primary or the general. same with donald trump for very different reasons. at what point does this idea that fantasy football imagination about who might be electable gets you anywhere? >> to your point, you can't just say you're e lebltability. you have to prove it. it's been interesting to me. joe biden's campaign for a very long time has been saying he appeals to a more diverse base of voters than what is in iowa and new hampshire. i think they were taking into account they might suffer a loss in both states but to what degree? fourth place in iowa and then biden came into new hampshire and the debate stage last week saying i might lose again in new hampshire. it's one thing to have the campaign setting low expectations. it's another thing to have the candidate confirming it on a national debate stage. that doesn't necessarily give new hampshire voters the confidence that he's going to go out there, do well, and go on and do well. i do think that nevada and south carolina certainlyelectorate, b watching. they're not voting in a vacuum. they're looking to see what happens in iowa and new hampshire. i talked to experts in new hampshire -- nevada who said we're watching new hampshire. if biden doesn't do well, that could impact him. >> and there's questions of the way he's tried to contrast works or makes him look like he thinks he's owed this. in this state, nobody feels any candidates, any politician is joed anything. look at him talking act his rivals. >> he's a good guy. he's a great mayor. but guess what. he was a mayor. come on, man. you think -- these guys -- this guy's not a barack obama. barack obama was a united states senator of a really large state. >> does that work here in. >> i think people in new hampshire like to have the positive come out. people like to hear the candidates talk about moving forward and not attacking each other. and the problem that happens is in a multicandidate field, if you have two candidates attacking each other, guess who benefits? the third or fourth one. not the two involved this that. so i would encourage everyone to just focus on the positive, because that's what people are looking for. they are looking to hear that positive inspirational message going forward, because that's what's going to take to win this race, a party you nighted. a party that's excited. a party that's energized and not a party that has any bickering going on. >> we're about to take a quick break. i won't ask you who's going to win. i will ask who you have your eye on for surging right now given how fluid this is, each of you? >> klobuchar for surging. and sanders clearly has the upper hand right now. >> i think elizabeth warren has an excellent opportunity given that she has probably the best ground game going in this race right now. >> klobuchar and buttigieg for serging and sanders for potential front runner. >> thank you all. don't go anywhere. we have something special when we come back. we've been talking about the power and rise of small town mayors. we have two mayors from new hampshire. we're going to get into all of it with our audience and look at the large undeclared and independent vote and what president trump is trying to do in the state as well. you're watching msnbc live from new hampshire. mpshire.y i like liberty mutual. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. almost done. what do you think?

[ laughter ] [ applause ] >> tell me more. >> we have great option this is year, great candidates. i've been fortunate to have met many of them, spent time with them, and met them in living rooms. but because there are such great options, it's really hard to make a decision as to which one to vote for. >> this is part of why we want to be here. we're talking about culture, a civic and political qualture that says, take a close look, take a second look, listen, right, not every part of the country necessarily has that. did he do in in bigger states, california or new york, the licklihood of meeting more candidates is lower. when we were out reporting on a buttigieg event in line, roughly half of the people said, interested, i'm leaning towards a different candidate. but i'm taking my sunday night to go listen to him. >> it's amazing the access we have, and it's been for awhile now. we're very, very fortunate in new hampshire. >> ari, i think some take the responsibility of being first in the nation seriously. i think they like to vet candidates, meet them, dig into the issues, and take a second look and say, if this candidate were to become president of the united states, how would that person affect any life, my family's life, that's where i hear in the city of laconia where i live. >> what are the issues there? >> i think there are the kitchen table issues, really. public education, we're talking about affordable health care, we're talking about taxes, about how do we rebuild some of these communities left behind this economic boom and give everybody an economic opportunity. >> i agree with those topics as well as affordable housing and the opioid crisis. >> i want to play something from senator klobuchar we which mentioned in the hour, baunsing around a lot of the different candidates, but it's very clear, just big picture, that there is a lot of excitement around her as an option. which, if you just watch generally, and you watch the debates sometimes, and the pundits, you get the idea, top two, three, it's nair to say she was not someone that had a lot of attention in iowa that night. yet here she was speaking to one of our reporters and getting a lot of attention and surging. >> senator, you're having a moment here. >> yeah. >> what does a win look like tomorrow night? how will you judge success? >> well, just by the energy that we're feeling out there. you guys i guess can figure that out. but what i know is that i woke up, and we were number three in two polls. i think people counted me out when i was in the middle of that blizzard, they didn't think i'd finish my speech. then i get to the summer and they're predicting i'm out. then debate by debate, every one we would gain momentum, people would know me, and it's on me. people got to get to know me all across the country. >> mayor craig, what do you know from being here, as i mentioned, from winning a race here, about what it means to voters to see someone persevere like that? >> it's critical. first you must be here, spend time here, the expectation is that you'll answer the questions that are important to voters here in the city. but to see someone come back like that is really important. she's got momentum behind her right now that's very evident. >> you used the word, perseverance. it's the strength to continue on in the face of adversity, not let the pundits declare your campaign over and fight back, take your stand. that's one of the reasons i've endorsed her. >> tell us more about where you come from on that. >> i endorse her because i think she's got what it takes to win. i think show -- i think it's important that democrats recognize the importance of the midwest. i think i'm looking for someone who has a track record of bipartisan leadership, someone who can be a pragmatic progressive. that's what i see in had err. >> the last question about sanders is again from car local perspective, partisanship stuff doesn't seem to hurt him. a lot of supporters, thought wait a minute, you're going to put someone in charge of the party who's never fully been in the party? that doesn't hurt him last time here. does that matter in a state that's so famously independent? >> i don't think so. the expectation is he's going to do well. i don't think that that made an impact. >> what is the most important food to try while candidates or journalists are in new hampshire? [ laughter ] >> manchester, you've got to go to the red arrow, and then elm streets, tons of great restaurants. >> spoken like a politician. all the restaurants of elm street. >> i'll give my play to warfare club in laconia, people who made a commitment. >> shout out there. lastly the mystery i wonder about, i've been here in cycles past, why are there so many dunkin' donuts locations? >> if you knew that you could probably be president? >> if you could go to one, do you really need to go to one half a mile away? >> we like convenience. >> i appreciate it. mayor joyce craig and mayor andrew hossler. if you are nearby, you are invited to join us life, penstock, i'll be hosting again tomorrow. you can join our audience and see how excited they are. thank you as always for watching. i'm ari melber. find me tonight 6:00 p.m. my colleague katy tur picks it right back up after the break. thank you, everybody. [ applause ] and others are easier. like screening for colon cancer with me, cologuard. i'm noninvasive and you use me at home. i'm also effective. i find 92% of colon cancers using dna in your stool. so why wait? cologuard is not for those at high risk for colon cancer. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your healthcare provider if cologuard is right for you. most insured patients pay $0. a lot will happen in your life. wrinkles just won't. neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair's fastest retinol formula works so fast. it takes only one week to reveal younger looking skin. neutrogena® good amp. i'm katiture. it's 11:00 a.m. out west and 2:00 p.m. here in new hampshire where we're feeling deja vu. the primary is tomorrow, the second contest of 2020. since iowa was such a mess, there is even more pressure on the democratic candidates to prove that they can win. for some, tomorrow will be about crystalizing a winning narrative. for others, it's about finding a breakout moment. and for the rest, it could be about survival. right now, senator bernie sanders appears to be coasting to victory in the granite state. but after iowa, pete buttigieg is proving he has staying power. and that has put him squarely in the cross hairs of every other campaign. >> he's a smart guy, but he's been the mayor of a city smaller than the city we're in now. and so what has he
