village inn. our coverage tonight from new hampshire starts at 6:00 p.m. you'll see coverage all day long. we'll be here in the end tomorrow morning. >> brian has radio. we're going to go to the tavern and get some lunch. see you tomorrow. >> sandra: good morning from the beautiful bedford village inn in bedford, new hampshire. fox news has set up shop here. primary day today. polls are open across much of the state. >> granite state voters casting their votes in the first of the nation primary as we wait to find out if the democratic field is about to get a little smaller. >> sandra: good morning, ifm owe sandra smith. >> ed: i'm ed henry. the big day in new hampshire. candidates crisscrossing the state trying to get out their message. new hampshire known for making decisions late. any of the candidates could surge ahead. >> sandra: not just democrats that are in town. president trump landing and

holding a massive rally last night. >> president trump: with your help on november 3 we'll defeat the radical socialist democrats. we're going to win new hampshire in a landslide. >> this is our shot, our only shot to defeat donald trump. let's make sure we use that power to bring about the change we need to see. >> this turnout tells me why we're going to win here in new hampshire. why we're going to win the democratic nomination and why we are going to defeat the most dangerous president in the modern history of america. >> president trump: they always talk about the democrats they have enthusiasm, right? we have so much more enthusiasm than them it's not close. >> we've lost the respect of much of the world. i'll be damned if i stand by and lose this country to donald trump. >> ed: our friend griff jenkins

is live on the ground in bedford, new hampshire with details. good morning. >> good morning. voting has begun. the 100th anniversary of new hampshire being the first primary in the nation to vote. let me show you here at bedford high school how this works. one of the larger polling locations. you see the voters coming in since 7:00 a.m. they check in with the ballot clerks. all of them actually took an oath and were sworn in. then the voters go to the booths where it says vote. the white things sticking up there. and then they come here and feed their ballots into these machines. two republican machines, two democrat machines. the reason why it's important, if you're a registered republican you get a republican ballot. if you are a registered democrat you get a democrat ballot. undeclared you can choose one or the other. we spoke to one of the voters who voted. here is how she said she voted. >> today i voted for actual

tulsi gabbard. i thought i would give her a chance. >> this location has shy of 18,000 registered voters, they expect. a little over 7,000 republicans, 4,000 democrats, 6,000 undeclared. so we won't know until we get the results. they're coming in this location, a hot spot for candidates. we believe we may see a few of them. so far only the trump campaign showed up katrina pearson a little earlier. >> ed: thank you. >> sandra: thank you, griff. joining us for more on that marie harf executive director of serve america and marc thiessen former speech writer for george w. bush and a fellow and fox news contributors. today is a big day, marie. what are you seeing and hearing? >> the question i hear from a lot of people is whether the pete momentum is real coming out of iowa. he put a lot of eggs in the iowa basket and did very well.

we see him have big rallies. you talk to voters on the ground excited about his candidacy but a lot of people are nervous he is too young and untested. the other person i watch tonight is amy klobuchar. there are a lot of people, women i talked to here who are excited by her surge, by her rise and they look at someone like joe biden and think maybe he is a little past his prime. tonight is a big night for the former vice president. >> sandra: we landed last night. went to the joe biden rally. about 150, 200 in attendance. "politico" top headline. this democratic field is so flawed even biden still has a chance. any candidate can win. points out there was about as much as far as media as there were supporters for joe biden there last night and he still polling. >> biden is in real trouble. amy klobuchar is the story

today. she is surging at 14%. neck-and-neck with warren and biden for that third place spot. if she comes in third and warren and biden drop to fourth and fifth, the big winner is bernie sanders. i tell you why. pew poll came out recently that shows if warren falls out of the race 36% of her voters go to bernie sanders. the interesting thing about that poll. if biden drops out of the race 21% of his supporters go to bernie sanders, more than any other candidate. having those two candidates drop out would result in a mass migration of voters over to bernie sanders that would expand his lead. >> mike bloomberg -- a writein not on the ballot and also the elephant in the room. >> sandra: donald trump managed to pull thousands of support into a rally trying to rattle democrats. during that speech he was urging independents to vote for

the weakest democrat. here he is making the case. >> president trump: i hear a lot of republicans tomorrow will vote for the weakest candidate possible of the democrats. my only problem is i'm trying to figure out who is their weakest candidate? i think they are all weak. we welcome and embrace voters of all parties and political persuasions who want to join our mission, a very simple mission, remember? make america great again. >> sandra: got a lot of support at that rally last night. something you and i have been able to discuss since we've been on the ground is president spending a lot of time feeding his base you make the case rather than trying to expand it. >> look, the gallup poll that came out after impeachment had good news for donald trump. 49% approval rating. the highest of his presidency. he grew 10 points during the impeachment. his economic approval is 63%. highest of any president in the last 20 years. for anybody. what does that mean?

there is a 14% gap between his economic approval and his personal approval. millions of americans who support his policies but don't support him. trump's job now is to win over that 14%. for three years he has been under unrelenting assault with the mueller probe, impeachment inquiry. he has come out of that. a lot of people have been holding their judgment until those probes and those things were completed. now is his chance to reach out to those voters and do what ever successful two-term president has done. expand his base. >> sandra: a lot of candidates are taking on donald trump on the ground in new hampshire they are taing on each other. pete buttigieg taking on socialist bernie sanders. >> at a moment when our country is so divided we can't risk further polarizing the american people and i'm very concerned about the suggestion that either you have to be for a revolution or you must be for the status quo. because that's a vision of

politics, an all or nothing vision that most of us can't see where we fit in. >> sandra: essentially saying that bernie sanders and his ways would alienate people. >> i think that's why you've seen pete and amy klobuchar do well as well as bloomberg. he is taking up the moderate lane. i think there is a path for bernie sanders to win the presidency over donald trump because he has some of that populist appeal in places like wisconsin and michigan but democrats trying to hold onto saoetsz with moderates. in the senate races where there are senators running in places where we need to take -- to win to take back the senate. arizona, colorado where bernie sanders message would hurt us down ballot. he could beat donald trump almost all of the democrats could beat donald trump.

but bernie would hurt us down ballot. the closing argument you hear from amy and pete and start hearing from bloomberg. >> sandra: how much weight do you put on what happens in new hampshire today? >> it's important. if sanders wins it's two wins in a row. i disagree with marie on one point that his economic message is completely flawed. his message is that the trump economy is working for millionaires and billionaires are working. if you tell people don't believe your lying eyes or wallet that's not a winning message. >> sandra: to take on the president on the economy. >> democrats believe michael bloomberg may be. if we nominate a white male billionaire to run against donald trump. he can spend the money on the ground and say i was a

successful businessman. >> republican mayor. >> he may be the one who can say i do the economics better than donald trump. all the promises he made, some have come true, most haven't. >> sandra: predictions for today? >> bernie, pete, amy, warren, biden. >> i totally agree with mark. bipartisan here. >> sandra: marc and marie, thank you. great to start off the morning with you. >> ed: interesting this weekend in the final push we heard big democratic crowds 1,000 or 1100 people. president trump had 1100 or more in his overflow last night. 10,000 or 12,000 people in the arena. talk -- big, big. we shall see. new developments on the coronavirus. we stay on top of that as the number of dead people from that surpasses 1,000 with 13 confirmed cases here in america. a live report coming up. >> sandra: voters already heading to the polls in the new

hampshire primary. you are looking at shots up all across the state with many still undecided in the last days of the campaign. so what issues are most important for people in the granite state? former new hampshire john sununu will join us next. look, this isn't my first rodeo...

>> sandra: it is primary day. senator elizabeth warren vowing to keep fighting no matter how she finishes here in new hampshire. >> i've been counted down and out for much of my life. but mitch mcconnell had it right. nevertheless, she persisted. i can't imagine any other way of doing it. you get knocked down, you get back up and keep fighting. >> sandra: she is one of several democrats working to convince undecided voters they have what it takes to beat donald trump in november. joining us now is former new hampshire governor john sununu and former white house chief of staff for george h.w. bush. good morning. >> how are you? >> sandra: have a great time in this beautiful state. fox news is here in bedford,

new hampshire. we're watching these candidates making their last pitch to those undecided voters. you just saw elizabeth warren vow to keep fighting. can she convince voters she is the one to beat donald trump? >> i doubt it. she comes through as insincere. her biggest problem in new hampshire. and i think across the country. i see her coming in fourth or fifth today. >> sandra: it's interesting we were on the ground at a biden rally last night. you talk to voters and use the word sincere. sincerity and a candidate being genuine with voters is so important to those undecided voters on the ground here. many of them still up in the air. so what do you see happening over the next few hours? >> i think you are going to see a very good turnout. it won't be as large as last time when both parties were contested but it will be close to 50% turnout in the primary. last time it was around 60%

between republicans and democrats. there will be almost 300,000 democrats. what candidates have to do today is energyize their team. they have people making phone calls to get people out. they have probably people doing a little bit of door knocking to get their voters out. and they certainly have workers at all of the polls greeting people as they are coming in. so those are the areas where you can get the biggest bang for your time on election day. i suspect you'll see the candidates trying to hit every -- not every but hitting a lot of the polls, particularly in the heavily populated southern part of the state. >> sandra: they're hitting each other. they are attacking each other. gloves are coming off but they're really going after the president to show they're the ones to beat him. joe biden at a rally yesterday. >> i'll be damned if i'll stand by and watch us lose this country to donald trump a

second time. [applause] this is the united states of america. it's time to lift our heads up and remember there is not a thing beyond our capacity if we act together. so let's get up and take back this country and take it back now. >> sandra: governor, what's the future of joe biden's campaign? >> he will probably go through to south carolina because he feels an obligation to go there and that's about when he will drop out. he has been trying to run a campaign with an impersonation of dirty harry and it doesn't work. he is passe to the country and party. in a way he has screwed things up for the democrats. because for a while while he was leading he had them all confused. >> sandra: you heard marc thiessen talking about bernie-momentum. did he gather enough momentum today? >> yes, i think he will win by

a pretty good margin. i think buttigieg will come in second but by a lot further back than some of his excited followers may think. and then i think amy klobuchar may leap over elizabeth warren and joe biden and come in third. warren, biden, and klobuchar in a cluster after those two. bernie will leave here with momentum. the others will leave here depressed. the others will begin to see a negative impact on their fundraising all except klobuchar. >> sandra: interesting forecast from the former governor john sununu. thank you. >> thanks, have a great day. >> ed: democratic governors sounding the alarm after the chaos in iowa and the potentially for a long drawn-out nomination fight. could it divide the party? chris wallace will break it all down next hour. sandra and i getting in on

political rally action last night. what voters had to say about the form vice president and his chances. >> i'm supporting biden all the way. (janine) i used to be a little cranky. dealing with our finances really haunted me. thankfully, i got quickbooks, and a live bookkeeper's helping customize it for our business. (live bookkeeper) you're all set up! (janine) great! (vo) get set up right with a live bookkeeper with intuit quickbooks.

>> sandra: president trump will head to india later this month. the white house announcing the president and the first lady will visit the asian nation. president trump is expected to meet with the indian prime minister with what the white house is calling a strengthening of the strategic partnership between those two countries. the two leaders first met back at the white house in june of 2017.

>> ed: president trump touting republican party unity last night at a rally in new hampshire. >> president trump: i don't really think we actually have a candidate against us. that republicans are energized. nine months from now we're going to take back the house of representatives. we are going to hold the senate, and we are going to keep the white house. >> ed: the president has at least one republican candidate taking him on including former massachusetts governor bill weld running for the republican nomination for president. with that let's bring him in live. thank you for coming in. i notice that you had a town hall in exeter. 130 people. in your defense more people than i saw at a joe biden event last night. the president had 12,000 people at a rally. why are you still in the race? >> it's important for people to know there is an alternative to the president in the republican primary and they can have an economic conservative if they want one. i was ranked the most fiscally

conservative governor in the country. >> ed: the president would argue we were hearing about the gallup polls that say 63% of the country is happy with his economic policies. what are you hearing from republican voters that they might want different? what's the case you're making? >> healthcare is the number one issue on their plate. on my plate it's my sense honestly is that the job is not getting done in washington it is the trillion dollar deficits, the fact that we'll lose 20% of our jobs owing to artificial intelligence in the next 10 years. that's the future of work and education. we've got the polarize cap that will melt with devastating consequences if we don't get carbon out of the atmosphere. >> ed: do you see democrats making an effort to work with them? >> deficits it's everybody in washington there is no such thing about government money there is taxpayer money. nobody in washington subscribes to that. they think it's their money and they love to spend it.

something like the loss of jobs to artificial intelligence, planning ahead for a possible environmental catastrophe. 30 years from now we have to take steps now. those are matters for the executive and maybe even for national security declaration. >> ed: when you talk about spending tax dollars, republican joe walshe had been in the race and got out. he would rather a socialist in the white house than president trump. do you subscribe to that, too? you actually believe it would be a better idea to have bernie sanders spending the tax dollars? >> i sure don't. >> ed: would you get behind president trump? >> i don't think i would support the president. i might support a third party candidate or somebody else. i'm on the libertarian side of the big movement conservative, libertarian divide in the republican party. >> ed: i saw the president has made a hash of things internationally. he talked a lot about taking out the terrorist soleimani. did you agree with that?

>> yes. >> ed: do you have other areas where you support him on foreign poll advertise? >> i had anti-terrorism as one of my responsibilities under president reagan. i would have done the same thing the president did there. where we depart. i'm for free trade. we need to keep the sea and air lanes open and more robust foreign policy through diplomacy not boots on the ground than the president. but i -- >> ed: the president wants to bring our troops home. >> i agree with that. i ain't no neocon. >> ed: good luck today. thank you so much. >> sandra: lindsey gram supporting the president's decision to fire an impeachment witness from the white house. senator graham on why he thinks that was justified. he is coming up live with with us here in "america's newsroom." >> ed: an update on the coronavirus as a new case is confirmed right here in america. and meanwhile joe biden's path

forward. how he plans to win the nomination despite a poor showing in iowa and fears he could finish fourth or fifth here. my psoriatic arthritis pain? i had enough! it's not getting in my way. joint pain, swelling, tenderness... ...much better. my psoriasis, clearer... cosentyx works on all of this. four years and counting. so watch out. i got this!

watch me. real people with active psoriatic arthritis are feeling real relief with cosentyx. cosentyx is a different kind of targeted biologic. it treats the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis to help you look and feel better. it even helps stop further joint damage. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability... ...to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen... ...or if you've had a vaccine, or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. i just look and feel better. i got real relief with cosentyx. watch me! feel real relief. ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx.

>> sandra: fox news alert on the coronavirus. the death toll surpassing 1,000. all but one fatality occurring in mainland china. a san diego adult becomes the 13th confirmed case here in the united states. jonathan serrie is live in atlanta with the latest on all that. >> this latest u.s. patient was among four evacuated from wuhan, china, brought to uc san diego health for further evaluation. initially tests came back negative for all four and they were returned to quarantine at the air station. yesterday further testing by the cdc came back positive for this one patient.

the patient was brought back to the hospital along with another evacuee now being tested. officials say both are doing well and have minimal symptoms. some of the first u.s. citizens evacuated from the epicenter of the outbreak in wuhan, china could be released from quarantine as early as today. 195 government employees, family members and other u.s. travelers arrived at california's air force base in late january aboard a flight chartered by the state department. the nonprofit organization med chair is sending nearly 2 million surgical masks and 200,000 isolation gowns to china where the outbreak has depleted smraous. >> we received this product several months ago and we didn't know when the next disaster would occur but we knew that it would occur. >> chinese president xi visited a hospital and residentialall community in beijing ashurd medical teams and citizens that china will win the battle

against the coronavirus. they're investigating if it's spreading through the plumbing of a 30-floor apartment building. they became suspicious when two people living in apartments with the same number on separate floors tested positive for the virus. today the world health organization has convened a global forum to address the international response to the outbreak. one of their biggest concerns is healthcare systems in developing countries that may be overwhelmed if this virus spreads to those countries. sandra. >> sandra: we're following that story very closely. jonathan serrie, thank you. >> we knew this would be a difficult race because our politics has gotten so course and so mean and so unlike any of us were raised. and i appreciate your patience.

stick with me 24 more hours and i promise we'll do just fine heading south and across this country. we'll win this nomination. [cheering and applause] >> ed: joe biden trying to look beyond iowa and new hampshire. looking on the path ahead as they head into nevada, south carolina and super tuesday. symone sanders is getting ready in south carolina where the primary is at the end of the month. we appreciate you coming in. she is with the biden campaign. >> great to be here, thanks for having me. >> ed: i was at the rally last night. only about 100 people there. this is the former vice president making his closing case. when he says we'll do just fine, doesn't that suggest he is headed for fourth or fifth place in new hampshire? >> well, ed, we don't know what the rankings will be. the people of new hampshire will decide the rankings for us throughout the day today. we'll know the results when the polls close. the reality is what vice president biden was saying in

his rally and has been saying all weekend to the people of new hampshire is i'm here to fight. i'm in this. i want to win this nomination. i intend to win this nomination. we can win. i'm also here asking for your vote. we think it will be competitive. that's why vice president biden is still there. regardless of what happens today, ed, this race will go on and we look forward to competing in nevada and south carolina and on to super tuesday. >> ed: as you know, south carolina, february 29th. the one that you circled on the calendar for so long still a couple weeks away. if the former vice president comes in fourth or fifth are you going to have the money or the resources to continue on to south carolina and super tuesday? >> absolutely we will have the resources. we had one of our best weeks since launch of this campaign right after the iowa caucuses believe it or not. we feel good about where we are financially. we have grown exponentially on digital over the last two months in this campaign.

we'll have the resources. reality is the full depth and breadth of the democratic party deserves to have their voice heard. since 1992 the democratic nominee is the person able to garner and earn a substantial amount of votes from african-american voters. that won't happen with just iowa and new hampshire. we have to let this process play out. >> ed: all voters black or white are looking for authenticity. the "washington post" said there are two joe bidens, the wrong one is running for president. his backward looking, disjointd stump pitches don't help. wraps himself in the accomplishments of the obama administration. he sounds like a man whose time has passed. he lingers with anyone who wants to tell him a story. that's the better biden embracing personal vulnerability over electoral invincibility. why can't you get that biden to

shine through? >> i think we have had that joe biden shine through. i think you saw it throughout this weekend. you saw it last night when he and dr. biden in manchester at a bar and he chatted with all the people there. you saw it when he brought donuts to firefighters in new hampshire last night and just checked out what they were doing on their shift. encouraging them to make sure they get out to vote but thanking them for their service and what they're doing. we see that joe biden all the time. he is the greatest politician in america. what karin -- i know her well. what she was talking about is our campaign's claims of electability. let me tell you about the claims. the reality is electability is not about who can win iowa or new hampshire. it's who can bring together the broad and diverse coalition of the party. who can win in places like pennsylvania, michigan, and

wisconsin. electability is who these front line members who won in trump districts want at the top of the ticket to help them. on every single front when we talk about electability joe biden is the answer. >> ed: on the issue, you mentioned a moment ago of african-american voters how critical they are in the primaries. south carolina in particular, michael bloomberg will be waiting for you at super tuesday. tape has now emerged from remarks he made in 2015 about stop and frisk. i want the play that and get your reaction. here is michael bloomberg. >> murderers and murder victims --

>> ed: it's audio hard to hear. the key part at the end michael bloomberg in 2015 defends stop and frisk policies saying we put all the cops in new york city in minority neighborhoods because that's where all the crime is. your reaction. >> i think it's sad and despicable and something voters have to look to. i think this thing will be up to the voters. the reality is that criminal justice reform is an important issue. so important actually that president trump has weighed in with the first step act. i think that vice president biden has a plan that really builds on all of the gains that have been made over these last couple years when it comes to criminal justice. it takes a dynamic approach and it puts juvenile justice front and center. we're dealing with our young people in the front so i would just say, ed, that we have a very robust criminal justice reform platform. mayor bloomberg will have to

answer for those comments. >> ed: to be fair to michael bloomberg he apologized over stop and frisk. is that apology good enough? >> you will have to ask the voters. >> ed: we'll see. thank you for coming in. >> sandra: house democrats outfundraising their republican counterparts. should gop congressional leadership be concerned? we'll have that for you next.

i've been through two tours of duty, and luckily, i came home with my health. but what almost ended up taking me down... was a stroke. i thought i was invincible. but it's really humbling to face an enemy you don't see coming. fortunately, life line screening showed me i was at risk. life line screening is the easy and affordable way to make you aware of undetected health problems before they hurt you. after all, 4 out of 5 people who have a stroke, their first

voters as he remains locked in a fierce battle with pete buttigieg after they finished neck-and-neck in iowa while former vice president joe biden is fighting to survive until south carolina. let's bring in byron york. what do you see and hear? >> interesting sound byte from bernie sanders. i'm old but i have a lot of young followers. he says when we go to south carolina we'll have black support contrary to all this talk that he just is basically cannot appeal to african-american voters. >> sandra: so what is the question that these candidates have to ask themselves today when you look at the importance of this being the first in the nation primary. we talked a lot about joe biden and his lack of momentum last night. pete buttigieg, bernie sanders. who is the momentum in favor of today? >> no democrat has ever gone on

to win the democratic nomination without placing first or second in new hampshire. so that rules out a number of people right now. so if you had placed fourth, let's say in iowa and then you placed fourth or fifth here, you think how does this work? what is my victory scenario? and the biggest problem for them i think is that they know that voters in south carolina are watching. where was symone sanders when you interviewed her this morning? south carolina. they're watching. if they see the candidates stumbling their way through iowa and new hampshire they'll look for alternatives. perhaps to the ones winning here. >> sandra: i want to turn our focus to the dollars, the fundraising on the part of the democratic congressional campaign committee. a record hall of 12.1 million in january, 125 million last year. should this be concerning for republicans? >> big time.

a lot of republicans have had some optimism about retaking the house. if you remember the last time nancy pelosi was speaker of the house she was elected in 2006 and defeated in 2010. just two terms. four years. so a number of republicans say maybe we can make it even shorter this time. the problem -- this fundraising shows a lot of strength for democrats and also this was in january. this was when democrats were trying to remove president trump from office. a lot of republicans were saying this is suicide for these democrats. they can't be doing this. now this shows that certainly their donors large and small were very much on their side and there is a lot of energy there. >> sandra: what does it look like for democrats being able to keep control of the house? >> it has to look pretty good. republicans have had -- remember in 2018 they were killed by so many retirements. they've had quite a few retirements again this time and also it's just hard to take the house once the other side has

it. it takes a big landslide and maybe we won't have that this time. >> sandra: you were able to on the ground getting back to new hampshire go to a few rallies if i remember talking to you last night. what was your takeaway if i could. leave us with some byron york predictions this morning. >> obviously i did not see joe biden yesterday. but there is kind of a dead man walking feel to some of his rallies. there is no doubt about that. pete buttigieg does have a lot of energy. he has bragged that he had the biggest event, 1800 people, of a democrat here in new hampshire but you contrast that with president trump's night. great, you have 2,000 people. the president gets 11,000 people. there is a real difference in scale between any of these democrats and president trump right now. >> sandra: what did you think about that part on the move of the president to land in new hampshire, garner nearly 12,000 people.

>> exactly what he did in iowa. there are two parts to it. one he is messing with them. he likes to do that. he comes in and takes up a lot of oxygen that the democrats would normally have and two, iowa is an important swing state. new hampshire is an important swing state. he won iowa in 16. he lost new hampshire in 16. he wants to win. he is working at organizing the state to win it before the democrats even get their act together. >> sandra: unbelievable. byron york, great to see you this morning. i'm sure we'll see more of you. ed. >> ed: meantime stocks rising again on wall street this morning after the nasdaq and s&p hit big new highs yesterday. so can the bulls keep on running? sandra and i spoke with voters last night. what they're saying about the biggest issues driving the 2020 race. that's next. >> big picture it sounds like as a democrat you are all over the map right now. you don't know who can beat the president?

>> ed: we are out in full force as a team on the ground in new hampshire. we checked out joe biden last night. he is facing an uphill battle in the granite state. we asked voters what they thought about his chances in the big race. >> we tried to visit with all of the candidates. one i haven't seen yet. got out of work, i want to hear what he has to say. you want to hear somebody you hear them. >> sandra: is it fair to characterize you as undecided? >> yes. but i'm pretty close.

we have to vote tomorrow so i have to decide. >> ed: albert says he supports joe biden but still thinking about it. what's on your mind? >> i think joe biden -- i really like him and a moderate candidate. i like his policies. he has to deliver tonight in new hampshire. he has to get the number three slot or else it's just not going to work out. >> why do you support him? >> he backs firefighters. >> he has given us a line of duty desk for families of the fallen. >> can he win? >> yes, he can, most definitely. >> joe biden has been pushing the idea of electability. some people are questioning that in the democratic party? do you think he can win? >> i think he is the candidate that can win the general election. he will make a difference for working people. >> ed: can he get through the primaries? >> moving on to south carolina and nevada are biden's strength.

>> a lot of good candidates, i think he is the most qualified and prepared to step into the job on day one. >> sandra: is this your wife. you support joe biden? >> experience. >> who are you willing to support if he can't win here? >> i haven't made up my mind. there are a lot of other good candidates in the field for the democratic nomination. i don't think i'll have trouble deciding who it should be. >> bottom line with just a few hours to go biden clearly has his eyes on south carolina and nevada. he was talking about the battles ahead. he knows he won't come in first place here. the question is how far down is he going to be? is the money going to start drying up? he was selling the idea of electability. a hard sell now. >> what did you think? >> i thought he did a great job. he was on fire. he made the contrast we needed. he pointed out his strengths and he has a lot of them and he is the one we can trust. >> ed: after we saw joe biden speak then you get on the rope to shake hands with voters.

flashbacks on 2016. you weren't tired of it. you were all in. >> sandra: i dove right in. he and his team were adamant. they wanted to talk to his supporters that were on the ground there. there was a lot of moments that he had with some of them. i didn't want to interrupt. you know me i got in with my microphone. at one point he finally engaged and asked how i was doing. >> ed: he looked at you and said how are you doing? he didn't want to engage. >> sandra: he was spending a lot of time with voters on the ground there. >> ed: big show still ahead. >> sandra: president trump slamming speaker nancy pelosi last night at a rally in new hampshire. what he said. brand-new reaction, senator lindsey graham is our headliner. he will join us top of a brand-new hour. stay with us.

>> sandra: fox news alert. it is election day here in new hampshire in the state's first in the nation primary, it could be up for grabs as many voters did not reach a decision until the final days of the campaign. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." live from bedford, new hampshire this morning. i'm sandra smith. >> ed: i'm ed henry. it's beautiful here. the president stealing some of the democrats' thunder last night holding a big rally in manchester. the main spotlight is on the 2020 democrats now facing a big test in the granite state after that debacle in iowa. >> sandra: independent voters could be the most important group in new hampshire making up 42% of the electorate.

ellison barber is in manchester with the latest from there. >> a lot of people are in this polling station behind me casting their ballots. senator amy klobuchar came here around 7:00 a.m. this morning and greeted supporters lined up in the snow. there are still some of them right up here. the biggest group by far and they've been the loudest for most of the morning are the mayor pete supporters greeting people showing up to vote and voicing their support before they head inside to cast their ballot. senator klobuchar started to jump in the polls in a big way yesterday. the only poll that matters is the poll on election day. we have spoken to a lot of people trying to decide between their top two or three candidates. klobuchar is hoping they decide to go with her. >> they know the numbers, they know the policies. the people in new hampshire are pretty well-read on everything that's going on here. what they want is a candidate that can bring people in. this is a state with a strong

tradition of independent voters. and moderate republicans who join forces. i have the grit to do this but i also have the heart to do this. we're pretty excited about it. >> new hampshire, unlike iowa, has a primary, not a caucus. caucuses are public. primaries are private. people fill out their ballot at regular polling locations like this one. unless they tell us we don't know who they vote for. new hampshire has a mixed primary system. if you are a declared member of the party you vote in the party's primary. undeclared voters, there are a lot of them in this state, they can vote in either party's primary. we spoke to one man who had just voted this morning and told me he had been a republican for years but he switched his party this time to democrat and he voted, he wouldn't say who he voted for but he considered himself an

abt voter, anything but trump. voted to get president trump out of office. he said the republican party had changed and no longer identified with them. he decided to align with democrats. a declared member of the democratic party said she was for mayor pete buttigieg. after seeing the last debate and seeing klobuchar's performance she decided to switch and vote for the senator. the secretary of state here in new hampshire says he expects 420,000 people to show up at polling centers just like this one and cast a ballot today. sandra and ed. >> sandra: ellison barber in manchester for us. thank you. >> president trump: on tuesday i delivered my address on the state of the union and i had somebody behind me who was mumbling terribly, mumbling. it was very distracting. i'm speaking and the woman is

mumbling terribly behind me. there was anger back there. we're the ones that should be angry, not them. >> ed: president trump fired up at a rally last night in new hampshire renewing his attacks against speaker nancy pelosi. the bad blood between the two on full display during the state of the union addressed. >> sandra: president trump touting his acquittal in the senate impeachment trial and ripping into 2020 democrats over the chaos in iowa. let's bring in our headliner this morning republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina, chairman of the judiciary committee. great to have you here this morning. >> i got a free jacket. >> sandra: what about this beautiful center? >> being in a postcard. i -- >> sandra: he has it now. what are you seeing and hearing since you've been on the ground? you landed and went straight to the rally last night. >> i've been coming here about a dozen years. this changes things for politicians, mccain beat bush.

kept his campaign alive in 2000. won in 2008, president trump won here after losing iowa. this is a big deal. i've never been to a rally like last night. these people are so committed to this president and his agenda. and when it comes time to vote in all these confused people you heard about. those folks in that arena weren't confused about who they will vote for. and the numbers are stunning in terms of the economy. >> ed: no doubt about it. sandra and i last night were at a rally for joe biden. somebody introduced him mentioned you by name and said lindsey graham once said joe biden is the greatest human being he ever met. >> he is a wonderful man. >> ed: what has changed for you and how you think it would be a horrible president. >> he has been wrong about president. i didn't say he would be a good president he was a wonderful person. thanks to joe biden we left iraq. isis came about. the foreign policy advisor to

the president there. he didn't want to take a shot at bin laden. it is not about whether i like him. i like him a lot. but it's what kind of president he would be. if you like the obama years it would actually be worse. and the bottom line here is this president trump has got a lot he can say that the other side can't refute. >> sandra: now i wonder about the momentum behind him now that impeachment is over. he went as far as to thank nancy pelosi for the impeachment process because it is boosting him polls. here is the president. >> president trump: our good republicans in the united states senate voted to reject the outrageous, partisan impeachment hoax and to issue a full, complete, and absolute total acquittal. we have the highest poll numbers that we have ever had. thank you, nancy, very much. thank you.

>> sandra: thank you, nancy, says the president. >> there is fatigue out there among the public. enough already. two years mueller. i trusted him to be fair. i know the president didn't. 25 million, 30 million dollars, a bunch of f.b.i. agents laong at everything trump. they found nothing. the democratic party can't accept that result so they impeach this man over a phone call. they impeached him in 78 days. they used due process that you couldn't get a parking ticket if they used it against you. what is this about? he suspended aid for a short period of time that ukraine received ahead of schedule to leverage an investigation that never occurred and they will impeach the president. people are tired of this never-ending effort to destroy trump. you know why they are trying to do it? they can't compete with it. they don't have an agenda to make the economy better. >> ed: isn't that what al green said? we can't beat him at the polls. >> every now and then these guys are amazingly honest.

they are trying to destroy him as a person, his family, drive him from office because they can't compete with the results of his presidency. that's what this is all about. >> sandra: what you hear time and time again is the president touting the economy and time and time again from democrats this is not an economy working for all. in a general election match-up, who do you see putting up the biggest fight for the president? is it going to be a mike bloomberg? >> if bloomberg is the nominee you lose the bernie people. the president is in a spot where he can't lose as this plays out. biden will win south carolina, three different winners in the first three states. super tuesday bloomberg will make a real dent and presence. you go to the convention with biden collapsed. it won't be klobuchar, it will be bloomberg. you go to the convention. if you can't find a nomination the first round of voting the

democratic party as we know it will completely implode. they go back to super delegates that the bernie people wouldn't be happy about. >> it will help president trump get reelected but you see the demise of the democratic party that your grandfather and grandmother knew. we'll see how it affects. >> sandra: why not amy klobuchar? >> she doesn't have the juice. socialism versus liberalism. amy is a nice person but at the end of the day she won't be able to compete with bloomberg. he has too much money. >> ed: sandra asked you about the end of the impeachment party and some of your republican colleagues in the senate urged him not to push people out like sondland and vindman brothers. vindman's former boss had this statement for you for not standing up for them. i want you to respond. here he is. >> this is ridiculous, okay? to come in this way. these people are great americans that are put in a

difficult situation. senator graham, i have always had a lot of respect for you. i met you when i was in afghanistan in 2008 when you arrived with senator mccain and joe lieberman as part of the three amigos. we thought you guys were rock stars. where are you now, sir? >> ed: he says this sends a chilling message to people who testified against the president. >> you know what i think? i think f.b.i. agents had a political agenda during the investigation of president trump and they acted on it. i think c.i.a. operatives have been out to try to get the president since he was elected. i think there are people in uniform that can't accept this result. i appreciate lieutenant colonel vindman's service but to the general thank you for that nice compliment. because you wear the uniform doesn't mean you are exempt from being asked questions. did he know the whistleblower? was there a member of schiff's staff that was a friend of the whistleblower? had these guys been planning for years a way to try to take this president down? i can tell you there were

operatives in the c.i.a., the f.b.i. and department of justice that took the law in their own hands. when a military officer uses -- engages in political bias in uniform they need to be held accountable. i'm not going to be deferred from asking this question. you won't drive me away. you tried to drive us away at looking at the f.b.i. you told us everything was fine with the fisa warrant. you are not going to drive me away from asking questions about the whistleblower. >> sandra: if i could final thoughts. when you sat down here, senator, you said don't forget foreign policy. do you think it is being left out? >> i think it's president trump's strongest card to play. the enemy is out there. he got out of a bad deal with iran. what if rock ert man has an explosion in october and the isis flag flies somewhere in syria in october. what could iran do to the mideast.

mr. president. the enemy wants you to lose in november. keep a strong foreign policy. run through the tape. god help us if one of these people get to be commander-in-chief. our country will be weak and at risk any time in my lifetime if president trump loses. >> ed: i heard a horn honking. it might be your car. your ride is waiting. appreciate you coming in. >> sandra: thank you for coming in. >> ed: president trump railing on the democratic candidates during that rally last night here in new hampshire. >> president trump: they always talk about the democrats. they have enthusiasm, right? we have so much more enthusiasm than them it's not even close. they're all fighting each other. they are all going after each other. >> ed: more than 10,000 people attending that event in manchester where the president predicted a big win here in the general election. did he steal democrats' thunder on the eve of the big primary? >> sandra: amy klobuchar gaining momentum on the ground in new hampshire. will it strans -- translate to

votes for her campaign? the a-team will join us in bedford, new hampshire next. with va mortgage rates suddenly

>> sandra: there we are. president trump stealing the spotlight with that big rally in manchester last night going after the democrats running for president. calling on independents to get out to the polls. >> president trump: democrats are now the party of high taxes, high crime, open borders, late-term abortions, socialism and blatant corruption. people are signing up left and

right. but if you want to vote for a weak candidate tomorrow, go ahead. pick one. pick the weakest one. >> ed: for more on this let's bring in our a-team on the ground with us jessica tarlov and lisa boothe both fox news contributors. lisa, did he steal thunder from the democrats last night? big crowd. >> look, this is smart strategy. he did the same thing in iowa, held a rally before the iowa caucuses. it serves a couple purposes. one it sucks up the oxygen. gets media attention when democrats want the focus to be on the primary process. those are general election state. iowa went to president obama twice in 2008 and 2012. president trump brought it back into republican column in 2016. new hampshire he only lost by .4%. new hampshire could be a tiebreaker depending how close the electoral college is in the general election. it is a smart strategy.

>> sandra: he landed and went to that rally and he said his goal was to shake things up for democrats on the ground. did he? >> he certainly gave people who are supporting him and independents considering it a show, right? this week is being the second in the nation and getting out there and making sure your vote counts and wants the other option represented. a pete rally, klobuchar on the street shaking hands outside a bar. retail politicking is happening. why shouldn't the sitting president get in on the action? smart strategy as lisa said. today is definitely about the democrats. i don't begrudge him that. if he wants to get a last-minute jolt of baby killing socialists out there it gets televised. >> sandra: he wanted to take democrats on for what he was talking about was a disastrous caucus situation in iowa. he did it again last night. here is the president.

>> president trump: the democrat party wants to run your healthcare but they can't even run a caucus in iowa. they said there is a little problem. little did they know. does anybody know who won iowa? >> pete and bernie think they both know who won iowa. it was a really bad week. i was on air trying to pedal through all this with no real information and everyone throwing out rumors. i heard this from this camp or this camp. the iowa caucuses aren't called. we have new hampshire certified before that. trump's acquittal and his approval hitting near 50%. i don't know why one democrat feels good. james carville saying get it together. one of the lines that resonated most. i want to be a winner. this is about power. politics is about power. not about ideology or purity tests. what are you going to do to make sure you get the most

electoral votes to take back the white house? >> ed: carville is standing up against socialism. klobuchar was the only democrat in the race and put her hand up in the last debate in new hampshire saying i'm not for socialism. here she is on her surge. let's listen to that. >> something is happening here and i think a lot of it i've been here 22 times. but after that debate something switched. we've done a lot of hard work to get there. it just allowed the people in new hampshire to see me in a different way and where i was coming from from my heart. >> ed: if she finishes third and biden is fourth or fifth. >> i think that means more for biden than necessarily for klobuchar because it might be the end of the biden candidacy. the challenge for klobuchar if you look at states like nevada, sanders has been there since the spring. you look at states like

california which are enormously expensive over a dozen media markets. a very expensive state. bernie sanders has already invested a lot in california and bloomberg. you look at the contests. is it too late to build the organizational structure you need to win in both these early states and the super tuesday states? and then also you look at bernie, look, he almost won iowa. probably going to win tonight. he might win nevada. you head to south carolina with wind at your back and california. he could potentially win california, a hugely delegate-rich state. bernie sanders could catch on a roll and catch steam that might be unstoppable. >> sandra: one thing they're united on the ground democrats at least. united in wanting to beat the president. elizabeth warren had a message for her party. here she is. >> the way that we beat donald trump is to -- we remember he is the enemy, right?

he is the guy who is out there undercutting every democratic value. it's our democratic party emerging. we can't have a repeat of 2016 where two parts of the party are fighting with each other. >> sandra: that enemy was holding a rally with thousands who showed up to hear him speak. >> the same in iowa. my felt was held in the air at detroit airport. it's all about him, unfortunately. but hearing that from elizabeth warren is quite welcome. we had in iowa last weekend where she was openly booing hillary clinton. we need to be unified in this but shows the difficulty in people edging out each other when you have this many candidates. you have to differentiate yourself and raise your hand. i don't think democratic socialism is the way to win a general election. you might do well in a primary full of liberal white people.

we haven't heard from african-american and latino voters in great numbers. bernie sanders could do well in nevada. biden is counting on south carolina. bloomberg is eating into everybody's numbers. we need to be unified against trump. the only one consistent on that is joe biden. he came in as the frontrunner and eye on the prize. >> sandra: who is your party's best shot at taking on donald trump today? >> joe biden or mike bloomberg at this point. biden is weakened and doesn't have a lot of cash around. lisa pointed out it is hugely expensive to be on the air. >> ed: if it's bloomberg you'll have the bernie people saying the white billionaire. the bernie people may stay home. >> that's the challenge for democrats as well. do they come away with this and get through the convention in milwaukee and do they have a

consensus candidate? do they have someone the democratic party is solidly behind? president trump has incumbency that is so strong and hard to beat that. a massive financial war chest as well amassing as democrats are duking it out. you look at the economy and more people supporting the economy. 63% than they supported any president's economy since 2001. you combine those things he will be hard to beat. >> sandra: she is fired up. >> i am. >> i agree with her which makes me sad. it will be really hard. >> ed: thanks are for coming in. fox news alert right now on the coronavirus. the quarantine period comes to an end for hundreds of americans being evacuated from china and stationed at a military base in california. what health officials are saying at this hour about their condition. >> sandra: we'll watch for that. and here in new hampshire 2020 democrats trying to hit political pay dirt with independent voters. which candidate is making the best and biggest play for them?

chris wallace is here. he will join us next. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ with our moving and storage solutions. pack what you want, we store it for as long as you want.

then, we deliver it where you want, so whether you need to move or store your things, pods is here to help you with flexible moving and storage solutions.

it's unacceptable that americans pay vastly more than so whether you need to move or store your things, people in other countries, for the exact same drugs. but they aren't listening. they've just raised the prices of over five hundred drugs. president trump supports a bipartisan plan, that would force drug companies to lower prices.

but the senate won't act. tell senate leaders to stop drug company price gouging and lower drug prices now. >> ed: fox news alert on the americans evacuated from the chinese city at the center of the coronavirus outbreak. quarantine time is up.

200 u.s. citizens have been in southern california for two weeks now. >> sandra: riverside, california. the americans are preparing to leave the base. what are we learning now, william? >> well, we'll find out 175 of them are likely to go home today leaving the march air force base by bus going to nearby airports, ontario or lax. the rest are trying to finalize their reservations and travel plans. the first plane out of china. any patient who has the virus would show symptoms between 2 and 14 days after exposure meaning everyone here has a clean bill of health meaning they neither have the virus nor are they a carrier. >> now we're in a more of a maintenance and operation mode. and we're trying to make them comfortable, we're trying to make sure we do the appropriate monitoring.

>> the evacuees here are exclusively state department employees. two children developed fevers but tested negative. nearby at the marine corps air station in san diego evacuees, one of them tested positive becoming the 13th person with the virus here in the u.s. what concerns experts she tested clean for six days before showing symptoms. but it underscores the protocols developed by the cdc imposed on all evacuees. as you can see here everyone under quarantine is housed alone, eat alone, wear protective masks and keep a distance of at least six feet from each other to reduce the risk of contagion. >> we're trying to get more information especially about the transmission because we still are having people being

checked in hospital and for my friends and family in china trying to get them the correct information. >> expressed gratitude to the administration and state department for getting him out early despite criticism the administration acted precipitously. three things he wants to spend time with his family, relax, and have a beer. >> sandra: i bet. >> ed: william la jeunesse, thank you. we're back meantime right here in new hampshire for this fox news alert. primary day kicking off finally 2020 democrats are setting their sights on a critical group that could make all the difference. independent voters make up 42% of the state's electorate. larger than any other voting block. one candidate working hard to win them over pete buttigieg. joining me now is chris wallace who has had a couple of town halls with pete buttigieg. you went to an event yesterday. good morning, by the way. >> good morning. with buttigieg. i thought the enthusiasm was a b minus. it is very interesting.

the sense one gets and who knows, looking at the polls, the sense you get from talking to other reporters, the sense you get when you go to these town halls and meetings is a little bit of the air has gone out of the buttigieg balloon and the person who seems to be picking it up not only from buttigieg but also warren and biden is amy klobuchar. she seems to be the hot candidate right now. having said that bernie sanders will probably win. the point you just made is very interesting because republicans can't vote in the democratic primary. independents can. one of the things that buttigieg does is he punches above his weight as he did in iowa he was really smart about focusing on rural counties that had gone for obama and then for trump. and he was able to pick up delegates. even though he lost by 5,000 or 6,000 in the popular vote he actually beat sanders in the delegates. it is conceivable here that he may do better than we think

because he is able to get independents to come out and vote and even if he doesn't have hard core democrats as much. >> sandra: he made that pitch yesterday on engaging those independent voters. here he is. >> we have to make sure we get it right on our side. it means building a campaign that can call out to as many people as possible. yes, engaging my fellow democrats. engaging independents in the famously independent-minded state and we're even calling out to what i like to call future/former republicans. >> sandra: future former republicans. >> he is strategic about all that stuff. the other big story that you've been talking about this morning is warren and biden. warren should do well here. she really invested heavily in iowa and new hampshire. she is just down a road a piece in massachusetts. biden was the frontrunner in this race. a new national poll now says sanders is the frontrunner in

the race. he is saying now look, you have to take the four combined. take nevada, which is a week and a half or something and then south carolina. but that wasn't what he was saying when he went into iowa and did the no malarkey bus tour. he spent a lot of time in iowa and a lot of time here. can he go on if he finishes fourth or fifth here? ye, he is seriously wounded? yes. >> ed: symone sanders did the interview from south carolina. he said he will have a money to move forward. >> electability is not about who can win iowa or new hampshire. who can bring together the broad and diverse coalition of this party. electability is who can win in places like pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin and about who the front line members who won in trump districts want at the top of the ticket to help them. on every single front when we

talk about electability joe biden is the answer. >> ed: electability, you have to start winning states. >> it was so interesting in iowa. he ran an ad i've never seen before which was all about electability. literally polls in this ad showing that he was beating trump in the key swing states like michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin. and then he finishes fourth in iowa. let's say he finishes fourth or fifth here. he is not offering anything else or a bold new prescription plan like sanders, a whole kind of almost cultural thing like buttigieg about a generational change and unity and inclusion. not exclusion. he is voting -- he is pushing one thing, i can get more votes. if he not getting more votes, what does he have? >> sandra: the president spent a lot of time in the rally taking on democrats. bernie sanders focused his attention on attacking the

president. here is sanders. >> the american people, no matter what their political views may be, are sick and tired of a president who is a pathological liar, who is a racist, a xenophobe, a homophobe and a religious bigot. [cheering and applause] those are his nice qualities. >> sandra: that was sanders in durham yesterday. we were at the joe biden rally in manchester last night and you notice biden, when he focused his attention on attacking the president he gains the most momentum, his voice was louder and he really got the crowd going with those attacks. >> yeah. but again, this gets back to the question of electability. what is the number one thing that democrats want? yes, medicare for all. whatever.

beat donald trump. and assuming that he wins tonight -- i think it is clear he will. maybe not by the 32 points he won in 2016 over hillary clinton but maybe six or eight points and did have the most popular votes. not the most state delegate equivalents in iowa. bernie sanders will be the frontrunner for the nomination. depending on your view it could be a terrific, exciting thing for democrats or they are headed down the tubes like george mcgovern in 1972. you hear when he is attacking the president. it wasn't just that he got riled up. the crowd loved it. >> sandra: they were energized by that. chris, we'll watch your coverage. all this plays out tonight how? what is happening after the iowa debacle? >> you have to figure that bernie sanders will win. interesting to see if he wins by 3 points, 6 points. he won't win by 22. it seems to me he is the frontrunner. a new poll, national poll that biden kept saying well in the national polls i'm the leader.

there is a new poll he isn't the leader. bernie sanders is. he is the frontrunner for the democratic nomination. one last point. it seems to me this couldn't be setting up better for mike bloomberg because his rationale for skipping this first month was the party is going to be so dispirited and cuffed up. everybody will have beaten everybody and they'll all be somewhat bloody and broke and i'll wait super tuesday when 14 states and 40% of the delegates are chosen. and he is rising in the polls. >> ed: if a billionaire takes it away from bernie sanders the sanders folks will be hopping mad. >> they will. on the other hand if they feel the way bernie sanders was saying about donald trump, i think a lot of them may have to hold their nose and vote for the billionaire. >> ed: chris wallace, special coverage starts tonight with the whole gang at 6:00. thank you. >> sandra: voters in new hampshire kicking off the primary season as pete

buttigieg is locked in a tight race with hometown favorite bernie sanders. a broad base of democratic voters. can he attract them once the race moves past the granite state? bret baier will join us with his take. >> ed: in the wake of the chaos at the iowa caucuses new concerns cropping up about similar mishaps that could playing the next caucus state out in nevada.

as parents of six, this network is one less thing i have to worry about. (vo) why the aceves family chose verizon. we all use our phones very differently.

these two are always gaming and this one is always on facetime. and my oldest is learning to be a pilot. we need a reliable network because i need to know he's safe. as soon as he lands, he knows he better call mama. mama!

>> ed: nevada democrats getting criticism over a new i-pad tool they plan to use as their caucuses less than two weeks away. an institute that studies election security is asking tough questions about the reliability of that technology in an attempt to avoid a repeat, of course, of the fiasco in iowa.

>> sandra: kristen foeltis anderson is joining us now and a fox news contributor. what about this? >> one of the challenges with using new technology you have to train people and you have the risk of technological and human error. caucuses are complicated. not as easy as people casting a ballot. they are under the spotlight. the fact we don't 100% know who won the in iowa. they have to up the game for their moment in the spotlight. >> ed: i talked to a senior democrat. the training that's so critical didn't start in nevada until last week. does that spell trouble? >> i think so. it spells potential trouble if you aren't able to do full test runs and questions volunteers have that aren't able to be answered. the reporting done on this suggests there are many questions that are lingering and folks are reluctant to be precinct captains. >> sandra: who developed the app is number one. who vetted the code.

who tested the app? how will results be reported? how will the app's network secure the data and who reviewed and approved that app? >> the risk in all of this for democrats nationwide is if bernie sanders does well in nevada as he did in iowa, as he is expected to do here tonight. if he is somebody who seems to be on track for the democratic nomination and there are problems in nevada that will only further the narrative that there are folks in the democratic party who would rather see him not win and throwing up roadblocks during the contests where he is favored. >> ed: iowa hanging over all this. pete buttigieg and bernie sanders have asked for recanvassing. is there a different result? here we are a couple weeks later. >> we'll have moved on to other states and a footnote in history, so unfortunate for all the staffers who worked so hard to help their candidate win in iowa. both mayor pete and bernie sanders have gotten a little

lift, strong momentum for tonight's contest and bouy them for the rest of the contests to come. >> ed: joe biden bracing for another rough night. could the new hampshire primary be the end? donna brazile will join us next on what biden needs to do to turn it around. >> sandra: the dow up 102 points on primary day. we're watching it for you. so is connell mcshane. here is here in new hampshire. now starting at $7.99. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. you can't always stop for a fingerstick.betes

>> sandra: all right, take a look. the big board.

the dow up 113 points, stocks rising and now the dow is hitting fresh record highs. take a look what's happening in the markets. connell macshane is joining us with the fox business network. the dow, nasdaq, s&p 500. >> one of the situations where nothing can keep this market down for long. we had that one down day on friday which is the first down day in five. the week before the same deal. short term. we're immersed in politics. short term the china story is the big one, coronavirus and so far we've been able to shrug off concerns on that virus. we get a down day or two and come back. the base case right now from what people are thinking is that's serious certainly from a health perspective in china and it is a big, big story. it is an economic story and will slow down the chinese economy. what people are betting on is that because of that slowdown

we'll see a bounceback in the second half of the year. people staying home from their jobs and not doing a lot will be back at work and shopping and the chinese economy will bounce back. best case scenario second half of the year and it helps our economy. >> ed: amazon lagged behind apple at some of the stocks rose. amazon seems to be one of the drivers of the new record highs in the last couple of days. >> technology has been a big story throughout the rally. sometimes individual stocks get left out and we end up talking about a stock like tesla outside the story of the macroeconomy and stock market. >> sandra: you can tie it into what we're hearing on the ground in new hampshire. hearing of so many of the candidates trying to position themselves against the president on the economy. difficult to do. the president just tweeted out moments ago new stock market record. congratulations. spend your money wisely.

keep america great. >> two arguments from democratic voters we've been speaking to. there is one where voters will come up and say the economy isn't helping everyone and we think that it's better to go in a different direction. there is another one. i was at a buttigieg event last night talking to a physician here in new hampshire who is a democratic voter and will probably end up voting for buttigieg. he was still undecided. he acknowledged 100% the economy is great. he said yeah, it is. i look at it. the stock market. all that is doing well. he made the argument on basically personality saying that i would rather have a different person in the white house that my children can identify. they acknowledge people like that yeah, this economy is strong. >> sandra: we had mike bloomberg co-chair and gave credit to the booming economy of barack obama. >> it's a hard case to make. the economic argument has been a hard case to make from day one. usually either the candidates

and certainly the voters i've been talking to pivot away from that and go to something else. >> ed: connell macshane. thank you for being part of our business coverage. >> sandra: make or break time for 2020 democrats as voters in new hampshire head to the polls on primary day. fox team coverage at the top of the hour. >> ed: the president in the granite state firing up his supports. he is looking for this state ?t general election. mercedes schlapp will join us still ahead coming up live. next! oh, susan

weakest candidate? i think they are all weak. >> donald trump -- we're going to bring our people together. >> america is at its best when we see a problem and we fight back. [cheering and applause] >> sandra: live fox team coverage now. bret baier is on deck. we begin with matt finn live this morning on the ground in new hampshire for us. >> we're in ward 1 in nashua, new hampshire. the ward moderator tells us there are 7,000 registered voters in the ward. we've watched them pour in all morning long. things appear to be going off without a hitch. voters get into the lines based on the first letter of their last name and cast their vote in the private voting booths. people will cast their vote on

a paper ballot entering the name of their candidate and the ballots are electronically you counted. the ward moderator tells us he expects to announce the name of the winner in the ward 30 minutes after the doors close tonight at 8:00 p.m. a short while ago pete buttigieg stopped by this voting location and greeted by a loud group of supporters and the city's mayor, buttigieg said he is feeling fantastic. his campaign tells fox news field workers will be very busy today with 15 offices statewide. volunteers will be door knocking and calls to win over undecided voters. we've talked to voter. several people told us they voted for mayor pete and what other voters had to say as they left. >> i voted for warren.

>> steyer. >> he is cute. he seems like he can tackle trump. >> bernie. student loans pretty much. forgiveness student loans. >> trump. >> he got the country going. >> vote for him in 2016? >> i did. >> at this elementary school no classes today but the pta is working with this bountiful bake sale for anyone who might need a sugar rush throughout today. ed and sandra. >> sandra: matt finn, thank you. >> let's bring in bret baier. he is anchor of "special report". he and martha will be all over it tonight. i was following you on social media and talking about big crowds for democrats might be 1,000 people or so. president flies in last night and he has over 1,000 in the overthrow outside and 10,000 or 12,000 inside. >> it is a big crowd. here that makes a difference. we bounce around. i was at a biden event yesterday.

150 people in the bottom of a church basement. he brought out the tell prompters and gave a speech and fired up the crowd. only 150 people. 12,000 is a much different story. it does say something about the power of not only the president to draw people in but perhaps the message here -- i also talked to some voters we talked to four years ago. we went back to them. one of the guys owns a tire shop and he was really hurting four years ago. and now he has never sold this many tires and he credits the president. he doesn't like everything about president trump. he doesn't like the tweets or some of the things he says, but he is 100% voting for him. >> that kind of voter makes it hard for democrats making the case saying the good economy is not trickling down. joe biden has a super pac that put out a fundraising email. doomsday scenario. they're warning an outside group backing biden tries to

sooth nervous voters by raising the specter of a nightmare if one of his opponents win. they want to scare people. the quinnipiac poll when you look at it, he has been dipping every month, might finish fourth or fifth here. >> if he does tell me the pitch you make to the donors. no, it's the next state. what you were selling yourself as the guy who can beat donald trump, and you can't win in this field where you can't come in two top. >> ed: the pitch is we can win south carolina. more diverse. we'll bring in black voters. is that enough to get momentum out of there into super tuesday? >> when symone sanders is doing shots from south carolina last night it tells you they're writing off iowa and new hampshire. that's a dangerous thing for a campaign. it didn't work well for rudy giuliani in florida.

>> "wall street journal," mayor pete is the man to beat. seems to be a pattern with mr. buttigieg he is unable to give clearances to specific questions especially those regarding south bend's black community. where is the democrat who will put the obvious to mr. buttigieg. are you really telling us the model for america is south bend? joe biden tried this with an ad. it was a little clumsy. buttigieg came back and said are you picking on small town america? it got a little awkward. buttigieg is being scrutinized in way he hasn't before. >> he will have his turn in the barrel in the next debate if he finishes well. what are you most proud of as mayor of south bend? i don't know what the answer is. the economy there was not booming. it wasn't a shining city on a hill. it had many problems. and so i think there is probably another round of scrutiny for mayor pete. he looks like he is doing well here. >> ed: the person more excited about all this beyond the

president and you and martha, a lot of people are excited. let me amend that, is michael bloomberg. he wanted chaos at the beginning. he got it in iowa. there could be multiple tickets from here and confusion is biden fourth or fifth? we played the audio clip from a 2015 remarks that he made at the -- he said he defended stop and frisk by saying we have all the police officers in minority communities because that's where all the crime is. how do you do well with african-american voters? i know he apologized for stop and frisk. how do you well with african-american voters moving forward? >> he has to say he is the only way democrats can win. that's the pitch if everybody falls apart and is really muddled out of these first states that he says i'm the guy. but again there will be a lot of long knives out for mike bloomberg. he is spending $300 million but has to stand on the stage and defend some of these things.

>> ed: if you play out the scenario, lindsey graham on set before talking about the idea that if bloomberg gets the nomination the bernie folks will feel like they were robbed a second time and bernie has been railing against the billionaires the whole race going back to 2016. how all of a sudden does a white male billionaire become the democratic nominee? >> to get the bernie voters or warren voters to support somebody like mike bloomberg would be a heavy lift i think. so we have a long way to go. we have a long way to go today but this race is, i think, maybe going all the way to milwaukee. >> ed: wow. amy klobuchar. you have been at some of her events and talked to her. she is a wild card now. >> she is. strong finish here makes her open in the moderate late. >> ed: especially biden is

fading. >> when you go to these events she has momentum. i think she won dixville notch by a couple of votes. >> ed: bringing a sense of humor along with his reporter's notebook. see you tonight. >> president trump: the left has been wasting america's time with the hoax. we've been raising wages and enacting fair trade deals, securing our borders and lifting up citizens of every race, color, religion, and creed. >> sandra: that was president trump there last night returning to new hampshire drawing a pretty big crowd just hours ahead of today's primary and hoping to flip the state red in november. mercedes schlapp joins us now. why did the president do the rally last night? >> we want to show and the president wants to show his strength here in new hampshire. we know that in 2016 we lost by 2,700 votes. we aren't going to take the

state for granted. we are putting resources into the state and investing in our staff here and there is so much energy and enthusiasm as we saw last night at that rally where there was an overflow, the lines were long and you have 25% of those rally goers who are democrats. so he is expanding that base, creating a coalition that includes democrats, includes independents. >> sandra: some are making the case he is speaking only to his base. >> i think he speaks to the american worker, the american family, and the american individual because i think you look at these disgruntled democrats looking at this wide field and they can't even decide who they want to get on board with. they're a fractured party. we're a united party but we also want to insure that we bring these democrats to join our cause because what we're doing is insuring prosperity for america, optimism in america and a chance for a better life for their families. >> sandra: results from 2016 up.

hillary clinton narrowly beating out donald trump back in 2016. 46.% of the vote hillary clinton got. can president trump flip the state red? >> i think we can. when you look at the 2016 and our campaign manager explains we were building the plane in the air in 2016. we landed it safely and he won. now we have the resources, we have the investment. in the last 10 days, 10 days straight we raised $1 million every day in the last 10 days. small donors, online donors who believe they're part of the movement and part of the trump movement. why? because of the president's success. you look at his record when it comes to the economy where we've been able to create 7 million jobs. new hampshire alone 18,000 jobs. being able to pass usmca which we know benefits new hampshire voters here talking about 54,000 jobs. >> sandra: did you expect that crowd size last night

>> i was not surprised. every time we go to every city we find this swell of enthusiasm for this president. their commitment. if we have that enthusiasm now, that will resonate come november. they will go out and vote and we're building a very sophisticated grassroots structure with the volunteers. >> sandra: the president spent a lot of time taking on democrats in the rally last night but democrats were out at rallies across the state targeting the president. lindsey graham joined us last hour why he sees so hard for the president. they're trying to destroy his presidency because they can't compete with it. they don't have an agenda that will make the economy better. they're trying to destroy him as a person, his family, drive him from office because they can't compete with the results of his presidency. that's what this is all about. >> sandra: your thoughts on

that. >> democrats can't win on their policies because they are so far left. they're willing to spend trillions of dollars in the green new deal, whether it's extreme issues like they take on abortion, for example. abortion on demand. not falling in line with the mainstream. >> sandra: the campaign right now must be focusing on a candidate they think has the best chances of getting the nomination and going against the president. who is that candidate? >> i think the democrats themselves can't figure out who they want as their candidate. right now we are focused on -- we're taking them all on and making sure that we keep talking about what the president has been able to accomplish while showing the contrast of what the policies they are lining up with. mike bloomberg made the most horrific racist comments anyone could have made basically putting all these minorities into one category and calling them murderers and murder victims and saying that's why we're sending all these cops

over to the minority communities. then he does the apology tour. the apology is fake. he is someone who has -- he is a candidate of convenience. he switches party when it's convenient for him and now he does the apology despite the fact he made these horrific comments. >> sandra: we appreciate you coming on this morning. an exciting day to watch. thank you. >> ed: thank you. in the meantime after a bitter impeachment battle it's back to business on capitol hill. why the democrats and white house officials are already starting to butt heads. >> sandra: more live team fox coverage from new hampshire where democrats face a crucial test. can they compete with the president's energized supporters? our panel is here and will take it up next. >> president trump: republicans are energized, we're united. and nine months from now we're going to take back the house of representatives. we are going to hold the senate. and we are going to keep the white house. i have huge money saving news for veterans.

>> president trump: we have so much more enthusiasm than them it's not even close. they're all fighting each other. they're all going after each other. you have them all over the place. they don't know what the hell

they're doing. they don't know what they're doing. they can't even count their votes. [laughter] >> ed: president trump may be trying to rattle the democrats a little bit at his new hampshire rally last night. the big turnout shows a big surge of trump enthusiasm ahead of the november election. how many miles of broken glass would each 2020 democrat walk over barefoot for their crowds to be just half the size of real donald trump's overflow crowd in new hampshire tonight when it's 35 degrees out? charlie hurt, opinion editor for the washington times and juan williams. fox news political analyst. welcome to you both. juan, how much glass would you walk over to make sure some of your democratic friends get crowds like donald trump? >> how much glass would i chew? i think that's good news for the president and from what i heard they had a good number of democrats in the crowd. but i think that's testimony to

the fact that trump ral -- rallies are like wrestling or the rock band comes to town. everybody wants to see it. i think trump is massively control democrats. >> like the state of the union. >> the night before the new hampshire primary. right now the democrats don't have a nominee. they're going through a tumultuous nominating process. when they have a nominee you'll see a different reaction from voters. >> ed: iowa, democratic enthusiasm is so high. once they counted the votes it wants as high as they said. the president, look at the enthusiasm on the ground here. >> republicans would be unwise to ignore the considerable enthusiasm that is out there to get rid of donald trump. that is a real thing and they cannot let their guard down. it is amazing when we look at a second term for a president,

the incumbent has an advantage built in but every president has to deal with lagging enthusiasm, lagging interest for a second term. this guy is like a machine. it doesn't wane. money, crowd sizes, genuine enthusiasm. it has a lot to do with what juan was saying. trump has an ability to capture people's attention and really hold it and these rallies they go through -- we laugh at a lot of the stuff and much of it is hilarious because he has a marvelous sense of humor but he is talking about real issues and he is engaging people. i think that's part of the reason why that enthusiasm remains so intense. >> ed: bernie sanders last night had a big crowd as well, 7,000 or more supporters. he has energy on the ground in new hampshire. he said there is another reason why the president came to town. watch.

>> this turnout tells me why we are going to win here in new hampshire and why we are going to defeat the most dangerous president in the modern history of america, donald trump. we have an unprecedented multi-generational, multi-racial grassroots movement of millions of people. >> ed: he went on to say he thinks the president is scared somehow and why he was on the ground in new hampshire. charlie is laughing at that notion. juan, where is your party now? because you have a socialist democrat with over 7,000 people. sandra and i have been talking all morning. joe biden event last night there were 100 people at most. sanders is likely to win here and get momentum. your party is getting closer and closer to nominating a socialist. >> it's interesting to me to listen to some of the trump

people talk about this. in fact, president trump calls bernie sanders a communist which is really something. i think it's a malign label, socialist in some people's mind. if you look at the polls democrats don't consider it that. they say what they're thinking about is a stronger social safety net in terms of healthcare, in terms of the high cost of prescription drugs, in terms of young people having to pay a great deal to go to college and being burdened with student debt. >> ed: let the government pay for it. >> that's bernie's stand. i'm saying the socialist tag is not that somehow bernie sanders believes that government should own the means of production and that we would start regulating wall street in some new and novel way. but again it's an easy label. i expect president trump will take the easy label and absolutely hang it around bernie's neck. >> ed: charlie's smile is saying he likes the label a lot. >> it's a good label. juan, you always do a good job

of prettying up the social safety net. >> that's what it is. >> but these are real issues. the idea of giving government more control to screw up more things is the reason why i think donald trump -- when bernie sanders goes out there and talks about the most dangerous president. i think for people listening at home they are thinking i don't see what's dangerous about this guy. i'm liking the economy, i'm liking what he is getting done and the deregulation and things like that. bernie sanders thinks the federal government is the answer to everything. when you do something and seems nice like paying off everybody's student debt. >> ed: how are you going to pay for it >> how about people who saved their money. >> you do a good job of saying that this president is about the individual and americans taking care of themselves. i would remind you social security, medicare, which he just spoke about negatively at davos.

these are threats to people. they don't see socialism to take social security. >> ed: appreciate you both coming in. >> sandra: a new warning about the deadly coronavirus. what the cdc is now saying about the latest case here at home. plus joe biden against bloomberg. look, this isn't my first rodeo...

that brings the total to 13 in america. as the deadly virus claims more lives overin china where the death tolls tops 1,000 people. while the vast majority of cases are in china, the world health organization warns this virus still poses a grave threat to the rest of the world. our correspondent jonathan serrie is live in atlanta where the cdc is based. >> good morning. the world health organization has given this novel coronavirus a name, covid-19. this latest confirmed case in the u.s. involves a u.s. traveler evacuated from the epicenter of this outbreak in wuhan, china. after testing positive the patient who was under quarantine at the marine corps air station was taken to the hospital along with another evacuee. both patients are doing well and have minimal symptoms.

some of the first u.s. citizens evacuated from wuhan are being assessed for likely release later today. 195 travelers, mostly state department employees and family members arrived at march air reserve base in late january. the world health organization has convened a forum of more than 400 world scientists to strategies the international response to the outbreak especially in countries with weaker health systems. >> to see what are the priorities in resembling and development in development of vaccines and work with health systems around the world to see what is their gap in preparedness and how we can fill the gap. >> chinese president xi visited a hospital and residential community in beijing and assured citizens that china will win the battle against coronavirus. officials in hong kong are investigating whether this coronavirus is spreading through the plumbing of a

30-floor apartment building. they became suspicious when two people living in apartments with the same unit number on separate floors tested positive for the virus. it happened in another apartment building during a previous epidemic in which the sars coronavirus spread through sewage pipes. health authorities are evacuating everyone who lives in unit 7 on every floor of that apartment building in hong kong. back to you. >> ed: that's remarkable. thank you for staying on top of that story. >> we knew this would be a difficult race because our politics has gotten so course and so mean. stick with me 24 more hours and i promise you we'll do just fine heading south and across this country. we'll win this nomination. [cheering and applause]

>> sandra: all right. that was joe biden looking ahead to south carolina after finishpectations have been lowered here in new hampshire. could anything less than a third place finish be anything but a gut punch. donna brazile. i'm gauging where you are with the candidates. what is the future of joe biden? >> we've known for several month that joe biden would have a hard time in the first two states. no one should write him off and we shouldn't throw in the towel. only two states so far have weighed in. today the voters in new hampshire will make their declaration. joe biden still has legs meaning he still has a moment that we hope might manifest itself down the road. we don't know. i'm one of those democrats that don't know. 42% of the voters may be independent. we don't know. so many unknowns. one thing we should know. the sun is going to come out tomorrow after the miserable

weather. >> a lot of snow on the ground in new hampshire. symone sanders from the biden campaign was on the program earlier this morning and said there is a path ahead for joe biden. >> the reality is that the full depth and breadth of the democratic party deserves to have their voice heard in the process. since 1992 the democratic nominee has been the person who has been able to garner and earn a substantial amount of votes from african-american voters. that's not going to happen with just iowa and new hampshire. we have to let the process play out. >> sandra: let the process play out. >> she is absolutely right. black voters are like all other voters. we want somebody who can win. we're pragmatic and understand the stakes and know they're very important. the majority of black voters right now may like a particular candidate we could change our minds. >> sandra: you must have come up with the candidate best suited to beat the president.

>> i've looked at youtube. i'm not there. i take my role as a former party leader and party official and a member of the rules committee. i take my role as that of an elder. i want to watch the process and encourage the young people. i'm going to leave and go to concord. i want to encourage them to get involved. >> sandra: are you concerned about the rally crowd the president had last night? >> no indeed. i would have showed up to see if there was free popcorn or something. president trump has been holding rallies since is day he was elected. he is a master at marketing his successes. >> sandra: why haven't democrats found a candidate to do that? >> i had candidates in the past that drew large rallies, some won and lost. i'm making sure we have oh good turnout tonight in new hampshire. we have to show the democratic voters we're ready to win in in state and compete in the fall. >> sandra: a lot of talk about

mike bloomberg and what his future may be when it comes to running against donald trump. >> you got anything heavier than -- >> sandra: leaked audio we need to discuss talking about minorities and crime in the speech to the aspen institute and he is now apologizing for this but let's listen to that together first. >> sandra: we've reached out to the bloomberg campaign for a statement to fox news and haven't heard back yet with that apology from mike bloomberg enough? >> i'm catholic. if you go to church and say

good forgive me, fine. this is more than just asking one congregation for forgiveness. this is -- michael bloomberg has to step up. i'm sure he will. he has many people around him who know his record and know what's in his part. i'm glad the president deleted the tweet he had put out. this is a moment when michael bloomberg should tell us exactly where he stands on issues involving minorities. when you see the number of minorities who had to go through that process because of the color of their skin. not the people who they stopped and frisked. none of those 10 were innocent. aclu and others filed a lawsuit and found it unconstitutional what he was doing. do you want to be judged by the color of your skin? no. i don't want to be judged. i don't want to be judged because i live in a so-called neighborhood that may have crime. i don't want to be pulled over. yes, mr. bloomberg, go out there and explain yourself.

we love the fact that you went to one church and apologized. this is a country concerned about your remarks on what you said on the video. >> sandra: final thoughts. what do you see happening today with the primary? >> bernie sanders won this state four years ago. i was here. 60% of the vote. he has home court advantage. elizabeth has some home court as well. i suspect that bernie will do very well. i also believe that mayor pete and amy will also do well. i think we'll get four or five tickets out of this great state and i'll see you in nevada. i think joe biden will do well but not well enough to be called a frontrunner after today. maybe it's bernie's turn and they'll see what happens next week when it's someone else. could be you or ed, you all have my number. >> sandra: donna brazile, we appreciate it. thank you. >> ed: joe biden just told

reporters he is heading to south carolina today. heading down there and not staying for the results. more on that in a couple of moments. amy klobuchar coming out swinging against bernie sanders taking issue with the self-described socialist democrat saying he is not the right fit for the democratic party. what if new hampshire proves her wrong? >> sandra: dana perino will be with us. we have more coverage from the first primary in the 2020 race. wave to the camera ed and donna brazile. we'll be right back.

>> we are asked at the last debate if we thought a socialist should lead the ticket. i was the only one that raised my hand and said no, i don't think so. and that doesn't mean i'm not good friends with bernie, i am. i have a different philosophy than he does. a lot of it is grounded in respect for entrepreneurship and the economy. >> ed: amy klobuchar taking aim at bernie sanders, a self-described socialist. if he wins what does it mean for candidates like amy

klobuchar and others? the fox police, american flag on the side. it looks fabulous. what took so long for someone in this field to stand up and say i'm not for the socialism like we saw klobuchar friday night >> amazing because they had so many months to do this. bernie sanders kept getting more and more support even after he had his heart attack. a lot of them are like he will be out. he wasn't. he kept getting stronger. amy klobuchar says i should win. joe biden was on an interview this morning who said i think any democrat could beat trump that steps on his message i'm the most electable. amy klobuchar took that moment to say i'm not for socialism and trying to find if that's her lane if she comes in third tonight. >> ed: joe biden telling reporters he is heading for south carolina and won't stick around and wait for the results. if you're already getting out of here and looking to south carolina on february 29th, a

couple weeks from now, you are expecting to finish fourth or fifth. sglaoe expected to get clobbered. his campaign trying to keep it going are smart to get him out of town today because even though it looks like he is throwing in the towel, if he stayed every question from the media will be are you going to quit? are you going to quit? now he has a ready made answer. i'm not quitting, on our way to south carolina. bernie can have his week we'll live the fight another day. >> ed: positions himself for the next big hunt. nevada in between there. >> i don't know if it will work. from a communications standpoint it's smart. leaving is the best hope doesn't sound very good. >> we talked about socialism. pete buttigieg taking on some of the revolutionary rhetoric. here is mayor pete. >> i'm concerned that the idea that you've got to either be for a revolution or you must be for the status quo paints a picture where most of us can't see ourselves. where most of us don't know where we fit in.

the irony of it all is there a powerful american majority ready to come together and deliver big changes. >> ed: we were talking to bret baier earlier and pete had his moment in iowa. he had some big crowds late last week and then bret was saying he went to a buttigieg event yesterday and the air was coming out of the balloon a little bit. >> i heard basically very scripted versus bernie sanders who is excited and has the young bands there and aoc campaigns for him and there is a lot of energy. what mayor pete is trying to do is play it a little safe and trying to tell everybody the democrats you can trust me, i can do this. you can get to yes on me but i think it's hard to do when you also have the big news of the day out of the democratic scene is michael bloomberg polling at higher numbers. people are super curious what's happening and mayor pete after he leaves heads to south carolina and the question will be you can't compete there. >> ed: can he get black voters because of his record in south

bend? >> i don't know if it's just the south bend angle they don't seem like they know him or trust him and had a lot of trust in joe biden. that's slipping. you saw the numbers with black voters for bloomberg go way up. donna brazile has challenges, too. >> ed: dana perino, 2:00 p.m. eastern. >> sandra: we were talking about the leaked video from bloomberg defengd his stop and risk policy. we reached out to bloomberg's campaign for a statement and came in shortly after the interview. his campaign reacting to the controversial comments saying president trump's deleted tweet is the latest example of his latest efforts to divide americans. i inherited the police practice of stop and frisk and it was overused. by the time i left office i --

i regret that and i have apologized. bloomberg's campaign has responded. >> ed: we got that in and will be following it. democrats looking to move past impeachment and focus on their next big battle, the president's new budget. we're live from capitol hill with the details next. re ptsd, will take you down in the dump. after several denials, when i went to aspen dental, they gave me a free exam, free x-rays. the doctor comes in and then he's like, "you are in pain, so we're going to get you taken care of." i had no insurance. at aspen dental, we're all about yes. like yes to flexible hours and payment options. yes to 30% off dental services. and yes we'll take care of you, no matter what. call 1-800-aspendental today. va mortgage rates have dropped to near record lows. the newday team is working overtime so every veteran can save $2000 a year.

>> sandra: 30 minutes from now democrats and party leadership will hold a news conference to discuss president trump's proposed 4.8 trillion dollar budget as congress gets back to work post impeachment. chad pergram is live on capitol hill with more on all of that. chad, good morning. >> good morning. budgets are aspirational. you don't even have to do them.

they're just a spending blueprint, appropriations, 12 bills that fund the federal government, that's live ammo. democrats are still criticizing the president's budget. i spoke with john yarmouth, the chair of the house budget committee and here is what he had to say. he said i tried to tear it in two but i'm not as strong as nancy. the house won't adopt the budget this year. there is already a budget accord setting spending levels for the year. the party is now weaponized. >> if you want the animosity -- i won't hold one on this president's budget for that reason. let me repeat that. because it turns into diatribe against the president i did not hold a hearing on president obama's last budget. and for that same reason i'm not going to hold a hearing on this president's budget. >> both sides recovering from a post impeachment hangover

trying to determine what is next. some democrats worry impeachment could put out other goals. >> when you think about it, most of us for most of the last six months have spent more of our time on things like trade and infrastructure and cost of prescription drugs than we ever did on impeachment. >> don't forget amid all this acrimony they still managed to pass the usmca. there might be a focus on trying to get something on infrastructure or perhaps the cost of prescription medicine, sandra. >> sandra: back to work. >> ed: meantime, voters in new hampshire heading to the polls for the first in the nation primary today. at least one candidate won't be here for the final results. >> sandra: joe biden telling reporters he is out of here heading to south carolina. does he have a good shot in the palmetto state? stay with fox news for all your election news, the candidates, issues and results.

more live coverage continues after this.

>> every going to get results and i can make a week or so we heard -- i think this time we are going to. >> dagen: will be watching coverage on the clock don't knock fox's channels of the day stay right here. we will literally hand off from our studio kind of up in the sky here in manchester, to over there at the bedford in.

>> ed: i understand harris faulkner is there. "outnumbered," the whole team will be there to get it. she will be there specifically. we are back here tomorrow morning, by the way. >> sandra: we look forward to that. we'll have all the results right here. "outnumbered" starts right now. >> melissa: fox news alert, 2020 democrats facing a pivotal moment now in new hampshire as voters head to the polls today in the first in the nation primary. the candidates out in full force making their closing arguments to voters. this, as a fierce battle rages on between the two top finishers in iowa. pete buttigieg and bernie sanders. the vermont senator last night saying the stakes in new hampshire couldn't be higher. >> the truth is, not only is the whole country looking at new hampshire, the entire world is looking at new hampshire.
