the nomination contest is just iowa, she has it in nevada. beginning. he is right, only two states. it just hasn't worked for her. there is a thing as momentum. it hasn't gotten people to the polls. if you're someone of such i imagine they're scrambling to figure out why. stature and keep coming in >> it's the candidate. fourth or fifth, it's a problem, we learn with every candidate things work differently. right? >> it is the opening bell and momentum does matter. gets knocked down and will keep getting up. in iowa, they said he will do calib klobuchar had one big bbdebate better in new hampshire. we saw that for a minute, he was going after pete buttigieg's and beam. i took a little heat last night experience. that stopped. welcome to inside politics. when i said it's embarrassing if i'm john king. that is still a mystery to me. your title is former vice thank you for share psychology south carolina may be able to your day with us. revive his candidacy. the 2020 democrats are feeling president and you come in fifth in new hampshire, took a little the burn. heat for that. their biggest problem is money. bernie sanders wins the first in two states, hang tight. he didn't spend a dime on boston the nation presidential primary. >> we just heard from the first it is clear proof he is the two of 50 states, two of them. tv, a huge advertising area, race's leading progressive. not all the nation, not half the because he couldn't afford it. does now a victory suggest nation, not a quarter of the challenges ahead and protracted reality is with south carolina nation, not 10%, two. television he can do better. the biggest question, will democratic race. where i come from, that's the people give money or not. opening bell. >> you can't make electability nevada ahead with latinos and not the closing bell. argument if you're not winning the fight to end donald trump's two moderates with a bounce and elections. >> he learned more often than presidency is just bht

not, look for the young fresh little for those of color. face. that was obama in 2008. you have buttigieg and klobuchar and the key impeachment insisting it is them. lesson purging and the when we come back, four prosecutors quit the roger stone case. sentencing of roger stone. democrats seitz an outrage and republicans prefer not to talk raising questions about about it. >> reporter: what do you think interference from the oval office. about the decision of the roger ♪ stone case? >> we're all together. >> thank you. >> back to that story in a for everyone you love. expedia. moment. we begin this hour with this new hampshire verdict and fresh scrutiny over which presidential candidates can stay competitive as the race moves on. to nevada, south carolina and beyond. a look at last night. bernie sanders with a win in new hampshire but very narrow win. color closure 25.8%. and pete buttigieg, 24.5. and amy klobuchar surging 19.8%.

and elizabeth warren, 9.3%, disappointing. she led in the summer and felt the single digits. so did biden. a very different environment than four years ago. in some ways, this is unfair for sanders, this is a two candidate race and gets progressive votes mornings were made for better things and anti-clinton votes. than rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis. because he won so big four years ago, many are asking what is the when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz xr, less sovereign this narrow victory. a once-daily pill for adults with moderate clear, sanders takes the baton to severe rheumatoid arthritis or active psoriatic arthritis from warren. for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. south carolina, that gives latinos their first say in the it can reduce pain, swelling, and significantly improve physical function. race. senator sanders well-known xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections like tb; because of his race four years ago. don't start xeljanz if you have an infection. pete buttigieg, not so much. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra can increase risk of death. buttigieg acknowledging this serious, sometimes fatal infections, morning, it will be tough. cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. >> certainly, we have more to do as have tears in the stomach or intestines, to demonstrate the breadth of

serious allergic reactions, and changes in lab results. our support. as we came from zero to top two finishes in the first two tell your doctor if you've been somewhere states, we believe we will be fungal infections are common, able to develop, build and grow or if you've had tb, hepatitis b or c, a fantastic base of support in states like nevada and south carolina. or are prone to infections. don't let another morning go by super tuesday is not far behind. without asking your doctor about >> here with me to share their xeljanz xr. reporting and insights, jackie cos with the daily beach and mr. mattingly. and we appreciate that for the program here. it's a good day for bernie sanders. the question is how good of a big day? he wins the new hampshire primary. very narrow margin. no question he has the progressive baton. he can raise money and nationally known. does the narrowness of the victory tell you anything? are there warning signs for sanders or are there big signs ahead. >> he owes amy klobuchar a big thanks.

reality is if she had not surged, you could feel the energy. if she hadn't surged, pete buttigieg would have overtaken bernie sanders. that's the raw math of it. and when is a win of amy a win. they have serious questions, can he deliver on the promise to turn out young people and trump voters and haven't proven that in the first and second stop. it's early. we go on to nevada, where i think he will do well. this is not a huge run out of the gate by bernie sanders. >> he has a group of dedicated supporters wherever you go, in the high teens and higher. what's the ceiling? 25, 26% of the vote, two contests in a row, where do you go? february 19th, there's a debate

in nevada. then the nevada caucuses. good luck with the count. february 25th, another debate in south carolina and the 29th, south carolina primary. then you get the march blur. and super tuesday and resources. we will talk about mayor bloomberg and other challenges. in the here and now, because lieutenant lieutenant senator sanders is well-known and vice president biden and president trump today elizabeth warren are struggling, can he get to nevada and get brazenly bulldozing the norm another win? keeping politics out of the we saw a signal from the justice process and those who culinary union saying medicare for all would take away your said the impeachment would healthcare. >> bernie sanders will have the chasteen the president. resources and money he needs and base of support. attorney general bill barr, as long as that moderate vote is congratulations for taking charge of a case that was split, that's great news for totally after control. sanders, and he can rack up it's after the senior leadership delegates. overruled its own prosecutors the person looming is mike telling them the recommendation bloomberg. he hasn't kicked into gear. stone spend 7-9 years in prison he's pulling votes anthropology. was too extreme.

we haven't seen him in a debate. the public dubuque prompted a we haven't seen him on the trail tuesday afternoon defiance. kicking it into gear. all four career prosecutors quit he's just spending a lot of money and will be in this a very long time. just before that sentencing upon the timeline is key. that will also factor. u.s. attorneys filed the will that continue to split the original sentencing memo monday evening. administrator and rise even tuesday morning, the president tweeted his outrage about their further? >> and can the former vice proposed sentence. president recover? tuesday afternoon came that can elizabeth warren recover. they say they can and will. statement from main justice, then the resignations. the president speaking yesterday we will see. hard to raise money now. insisted he had nothing to do with the sudden change except -- >> no, i didn't speak to the mom momentum the snowball effect in justice -- i would be able to do it if i wanted. politics. i have the absolute right to do it. i stay out of things to the the african-american community degree people wouldn't believe. and latino community, latino i didn't speak to them. comes first and both rushing on i thought the recommendation was ridiculous. television hoping this momentum i thought the whole prosecution was ridiculous. gives them another look. i look at others that haven't >> my entire 100 day plan for been prosecuted or i don't know where it is now. america won't fit in a tv ad. when you see that, i thought it let's give it a go. was an insult to our country. >> i didn't speak to them, i stay out of things. rejoin the cli agreement.

cnn's sara joins us and michael mental health, job training. from the "new york times" as well. i didn't speak to them, i stay out of things. he didn't need to speak to them, he told them on twitter what he >> providing americans health wanted. then, they did it. that's not staying out of things. insurance is my priority and i want to get to that part in a others say medicare or all and minute. the fact this happens. career prosecutors write a memo, submit it. my choice is the choice is their bosses then overrule them. yours. they're saying bernie sanders is we all have jobs. a threat to healthcare. do you do a glossy well-produced then they pull it back after the ad with a lot of images and why president tweets. that doesn't blur, obliterates the traditional line between the you see the candidates' faces justice department and there. presidential interference. >> nevada becomes very tough >> it does. the question is to what end? because we don't have strong it's not up to bill barr as much recent polling on nevada to tell as he wants it to be and us actually what is happening there. president trump wants it to be for pete buttigieg, and the way to decide what roger stone gets. it is up to the judge. joe biden is looking to south she doesn't have to listen to carolina to save him. any of the memos and can decide in some ways pete buttigieg is this sentence on its own. looking beyond south carolina the president feels so strong on

and nechd to help. this and bill barr knows he looking at super tuesday, while feels so strong on this and everyone is focusing on anyone who has seen his twitter account, he can pardon roger california where can we pick up stone if he does get a prison votes? they performed better than expected in these rural areas. sentence. instead going this way and row while everyone is looking over here, what can we do over there. >> i just got word the former with the public and four quit massachusetts governor, deval the case and two from the patrick, joining michael young and bennett saying good-bye. department. he's essentially shutting it down. and he is doing it in a way that let's focus, no offense to the suits his needs. >> some say, it's just the governor, focus on momentum of those coming out of new president and even some attorneys say it was a pretty harsh recommendation, nine hampshire with huge challenges. senator warren was leading in years, others, it's a the summertime, the grow stock, coincidence. the u.s. attorney whose office big and bold, go with me, prosecuted the case was being nominated for another job just medicare for all. and then adjusting the medicare yesterday. president trump abruptly with for all plan. listen to this when she says, i drew the nomination for jessie liu who headed the office to will fight on. big and bold is gone. serve in a top treasury >> with ads marking other

candidates and some candidates position. this is post mueller, post shouting curses at other democratic candidates, these impeachment retribution. harsh tactics might work if you >> you have to look at the whole are willing to burn down the rest of the party in order to be context, not only the one you the last man standing. mentioned and vindman, a witness we cannot afford to fall into and gordon sondland testified factions. against the president, look at we can't afford to squander our the timeline. the ukraine saga started essentially after the collective power. we win when we come together. >> without naming names, that is mueller/russia meddling investigation largely concluded, bernie's way out there in the left with the revolution. giving trump the sense he was he's not welcoming to moderates. free to sort of be unbound, be moderates are throwing stuff at bernie saying he can't win and unleashed. now, the moment that the will destroy democrats down ticket. i'm a unifying force. impeachment ends, you have it's an interesting argument. another example of pushing these boundaries, obliterating the boundaries. i think you have to look at it primaries are usually about in that big broad context. ideology or a lane. is that a recovery message? this is a pattern going on a long time. >> the point of pattern, fix >> there are resource issues and organizational issues coming forward. not only moving near super tuesday where you need a lot of

money to play with delegates, this about roger stone, that's talking about a state like what the president was doing, and a tweet about the judge. california. you look at klobuchar. pressure the justice department, yell at a judge and blow through having momentum, raising $2.5 every norm. the president again on tuesday. million over the course of a a good day yesterday for the president. night, they don't have the is this the judge that put paul organization others have. you look at pete buttigieg's manafort in solitary confinement, something that not numbers, particularly even mobster al capone had to african-american and nevada, endure? how did she treat crooked where he stands with latino voters. we know in iowa and new hillary clinton? she wasn't charged with anything. just asking. hampshire his team performed as well or better than anybody else you're pulling a nomination and out there. we're going into the stage right firing people and attacking a now we don't necessarily know federal judge. what they have waiting for them >> going back to what you said about the mueller case, it there. i think they still need to develop whether it's message, reminded me of that, i wasn't organization or funding. planning to fire robert mueller. they need to develop that oaniz if i wanted to, i could have done it, maintaining he has the authority to do those things even that is not exactly what he did. they believe he has that authority and nothing is wrong with it. >> during the mueller investigation, he did put

pressure on senior officials to do that. whatever denials he made in public. >> not a lot of credibility on these kinds of denials. >> he's president and we're not and people thought, would he pull back a little bit or listen at all? the answer is no and on overdrive. we will see if anybody cares. imagine hillary clinton as president, barack obama as president, tweeting, get off a friend of mine's back, firing people, pulling nominations, the town would be going nuts. susan collins said the president would learn a lesson for impeachment. saying the president should not have gotten involved. lisa murkowski, one of the maverick republicans, i would lowercase the m, because they don't fight that often. i don't like the chain of events. the president says, change the deal, most people would look at that and say, it doesn't look

right. two senators saying i don't like this. they have a majority in the senate. would they call a hearing or try to call the president to task? >> no. keep saying it. susan collins' statement was aspirational. if you talk to any republican senator who believes that. i don't thin aspirational is th proper way to caveat this, this is the reality what they've i had one senior aid text me, and i asked him how he was doing with the president, he said every day is a nightmare to some degree and the aide's boss will still support the president. the party is president trump and gop is president trump as well. whether it was impeachment or wall or national emergency.

for the most part they will stick with him. they abdicated the ability to pull him down long ago and with regard to terror or national emergency and at this point, left to shrugging before cameras. >> leave it to the voters. will the voters stick with him on that? i'm hearing from critics of the president, this was another example for him why they think he's got to go. a republican could accept the president telling me this, but not always in public but certainly private. >> some of the level a and b level is different. it's hard to say, stop, this is up here, not here. this is up here, telling the justice department supposed to be walled off what to do. >> there's supposed to be recognition in 24-48 hours this won't be in the news. republicans recognized don't attack the president when it

will disappear in 48 hours. >> he won't forget. >> i've seen in the "wizard of oz," the lion runs down the hall, courage, keep cycling that one. a look at the new hampshire results. who won and where. $9.95? that's impossible. hi, i'm jonathan, a manager here at colonial penn life insurance company, to tell you it is possible. if you're age 50 to 85, you can get life insurance with options starting at just $9.95 a month. okay, jonathan, i'm listening. tell me more. just $9.95 a month for colonial penn's number one most popular whole life insurance plan. there are no health questions to answer and there are no medical exams to take. your acceptance is guaranteed. you can't be turned down because of your health, even if you have health problems or take medication. guaranteed acceptance? i like guarantees.

take a closer look at new hampshire's results last night and some of the lessons the state is teaching us as we move on. number one, very close race between the top three. senator sanders just barely

winning. he's from vermont. this is new hampshire. remember in 2016, he won the state easily. you see a lot of pete buttigieg green, a little bit less but amy klobuchar green as well. let's close that off. another reason, money matter in this race. among voters who make less than $50,000 a year, 38% went for bernie sanders. blue collar workers. the others nowhere close to that 38%. let's move to the upper part of the income scale, among those in new hampshire who make $100,000 a year, bernie sanders ran third behind pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar. just want to show you how this plays on the map when you take a look at it. you look at the 25 most wealthiest new hampshire towns median income, of the 25 most

affluent towns, sanders wins only two and buttigieg and klobuchar running up the best. african-americans not so in love with sanders close to home. the senator saying, that's fine with him. he insists, as the race moves on, he has blue collar appeal. >> at this point in the campaign, we are taking on billionaires, and we are taking on candidates funded by billionaires. but we are going to win because we have the agenda that speaks to the needs of working people throughout this country. >> he knows it. as this race moves on, we talk about liberal conservative and medicare for all, obamacare, there is an income break in democratic voters. >> absolutely. when you look at it, if you are lower income, you're a bernie sanders supporter.

when income inequality is one of the most important things you care about, those people in new hampshire voted for bernie sanders. it really speaks to him. there was a question, i think it was chuck the other day, talking about this earlier, what about the people who have 401k and don't like donald trump, bernie sanders is an answer for them and that don't like the rest of the democratic electorate. >> bernie sanders walks in with the liberal baton. elizabeth warren falling to 13%. buttigieg shows the ability to reach across. klobuchar and buttigieg taking that space.

going after blue collar voters, mayor buttigieg says, you can't exclude people. don't talk about revolution or you can't win the middle. >> in this election season we have been told you must be either for revolution or status quo. where does that leave the rest of us. most americans don't see where they fit in of that polarized vision. the politics of my way or the highway is a road to re-electing donald trump. vulnerable americans do not have the luxury of pursuing ideology purity over an inclusive victory. >> i've been around a bit. this is presidential election number 9. let's relatively tame. will it stay that tame? will it stay this tame now that you have a close contracted rest and they need to prove they can get off the matt and he needs to prove he can grow and it's

tainted but worse. >> and elizabeth warren, long campaign memo on every candidate, claiming amy klobuchar she hasn't been tested yet. they had ones on pete buttigieg and bernie sanders, potentially about them burning down the party if you go with them. certainly getting it from elizabeth warren also making the argument, look, we've only had two states, i can still get back in this, please don't write me off. >> it tends to be more -- the candidates more desperate get more pointed more quickly. you have candidates like warren and biden who have underperformed and have to do something and do something quick to get back in the race. i suspect, as we move forward over the next month and the way the race win nos even further, buttigieg, if he's in the top three candidates, between him and sanders it will have to get more pointed. he's making a bet with that statement, the people on the

extreme fringes on both sides of the income spectrum are going to not necessarily be with him but there's a much bigger section in the middle for whom that message will resonate. as long as he continues to make that, that he'll continue to grow. >> one thing klobuchar does have growing for her, candidates seem to get themselves in trouble when they sound inauthentic and start going after someone. klobuchar has said from the beginning the medicare for all won't happen and is unrealistic. it's kind of built into her message and start hearing it more going up in the polls. >> watch buttigieg and klobuchar and see the sparks going to the next debate in nevada. coming up for us a senate race looming in georgia pitting republicans against each other. oh, hi, samantha.

you look more like a heather. do you ever get that? it's nice to finally meet you in person. you're pete nocchio? oh, the pic? that was actually a professional headshot. i'm sure that's it, yeah. i, uh, i think i've lost a few pounds recently too. i'm actually doing a juice cleanse. wait! you don't...

topping today's political radar, some political leaders warning congressman doug collins is putting their senator majority at risk by running against the incumbent senator loeffler. you might remember the president appointed her last year. manu is live with this reporting. i get it, the republican leadership doesn't like a primary in a high profile race. there's more to it, right? >> reporter: this is different from the typical democratic primary. there will be one elections in november where all the

candidates compete. republican and democratic candidates. if any candidate gets more than 50% of the vote they will be elected the next u.s. senator and if any gets under 50% there will be a runoff in january. that's got republicans concerned because their worried doug collins entry in this race could possibly divide that republican vote and give democrats a chance for majority in november and take back a critical senate seek and potentially take back senate majority. at the same time, there's another seat u incumbent republican senator and they're worried this could impact david perdue's seat as well and potentially spill over into the presidential race, what the republican leadership is warning. there is an increasingly bitter back and forth between the collins campaign and national senatorial committee, a war of records, accusing the committee

and its vendors if they decide to work with the committee. they said doug collins represents everything georgians hate about washington. john. >> good reminder there's fantastic politics below the presidential level as well. appreciate that reporting. next for us, back to the presidential race, michael bloomberg rising in the polls, picking up endorsements and his 2020 rivals beginning to notice. apps are used everywhere...

except work. why is that? is it because people love filling out forms? maybe they like checking with their supervisor to see how much vacation time they have. or sending corporate their expense reports. i'll let you in on a little secret. they don't. by empowering employees to manage their own tasks, paycom frees you to focus on the business of business.

whether you. i'd rather run against bloomberg than sanders. sanders has more followers whether you agree or not. i'd rather run against bloomberg than sanders. michael bloomberg, bloomberg not on the ballot until super tuesday, skipping the first four democratic contests. but he's back in the news today in a way that causes some anxiety for some of his rivals. three new endorsements from

members of the congressional black caucus. this comes day after his stop-and-frisk policies came under renewed scrutiny because of an audio of bloomberg defending it and joe biden's disappointing performance in new hampshire and they move to nevada and south carolina and african-americans become more important, sending a signal here i have growing support in a counti constituency that joe biden says is his best asset. >> the support for biden dropped significantly and bloomberg's shot up. the audio from yesterday certainly not helpful. you recognize they are a pretty professional campaign apparatus, not because they're spending hundreds of millions of dollars to blunt what happened to them yesterday and what happened to joe biden. democrats get nervous, can they

beat trump, is this batch of candidates good enough, why is nobody breaking out? the number of democrats that say, this guy has so much money and can spend wherever and whenever he wants, not just saying that, doing to it the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe this isn't a bad idea. there is a lot that can be dropped on him the next couple of months and you have to wait. >> he's one poll short of qualifying for the nevada debate. we heard his campaign manager saying, of course we want to be in the debate but haven't firmly committed. if bloomberg qualifies, does he have to show up? >> they rolled out these endorsements. they haven't answered and explained what bloomberg said. he's going to have to, if he remains in this race as a contender, at some point he has to answer the stop-and-frisk policy and a range of other things that happened when he was

mayor of new york city, whether it be debate, interviews, it has to happen eventually. >> we're having a hard time, hard to wrap your arms around this because it has never happened before, sit out the first four contests. campaigns put endorsements in the back pocket and need to change the dynamics, on the day this came up with the mayor saying you throw them up against the wall and frisk them, how you fight crime and rom out the african-american endorsements and the day after joe biden did not well. $356.2 million so far, $129 million, i'm rounding up in super tuesday states. $126.6 million to be specific. he's rising in the state polls, his scenario, bernie ascending

and biden coming out, does this increase the pressure on pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar. >> this is exactly how they wanted it to happen and the way it's playing out. other strong contenders dropped out and creating a pathway to get their message out and introduce themselves to the voters. is it too late? buttigieg is rising and bernie sanders is also rising. >> people are looking for it to be the clarifying moment because so many delegates at stake but the opportunity to clarify a muddle and everybody has the chance to get a little bit from here and here and test the question about money. >> we are in chapter one. let us not try to rewrite the book just yet. then, there were eight. one more 2020 democrat calls it

quits today on that 2020 race.

hampshire's traditional role is to win no out the traditional candidates. that's playing out. as of now, eight democrats remain out of 28 candidacies and

saying one of the lessons is spending more time other than iowa. >> one of the lessons, we can't just win against trump. he's one of the reasons i got elected. the extreme take all economy in the history of the world and put more economic resources directly into family's hands. >> yang was interesting in that he came out of nowhere and made a splash, not a huge splash in the race. it's hard to run for president. i have grace for those who get out and very hard and you have to raise a family, do you what you have to do. eight left and four not qualified for the next debate. deval patrick dropped out and we built this before he dropped out. that's great. they fixed it for me. you have these three who have

not qualified for the next debate, we have learned from bennett and patrick and others getting out, senator harris and booker, if you can't get on the debate stage, it's oxygen.olitit us still holding a matters you early. deval patrick got in so late. there is just a political reality to life you can't just jump in at the very end. that held true this year as in past years. >> we saw with yang, at least in new hampshire he was pulling from bernie and a sliver of support. this was likely, he and tulsi, this would ultimately benefit bernie sanders. >> great. impact on the margin. only getting 2 1/2, the other is getting 3. when they're gone, that goes somewhere. don't go anywhere.

brianna starts right now. have a great afternoon. >> i'm brianna keilar. live from cnn's washington headquarters. it has been one week since the senate acquitted the president. some say the president has learned his lesson. he has learned a lesson, he can do whatever he wants and the republican party will stand behind him. some out of genuine loyalty and some out of fear. look what he's done since the acquittal, he has attacked and vowed revenge against senators who voted to convict him and spread unfounded conspiracy theories about the children of his perceived enemies,
