in new hampshire unless they get a new hampshire license plate, that was a direct response to college students voting at more than twice the rate they been voting at and being a margin of victory for a lot of close victories in the state by democrats. so really what i believe in is more democracy, more power to the people. it's really been ten years of trying to push power down to the people of the united states because i actually trust the people of the united states. we were talking at breakfast about, what have i learned basically running for president? and running for president is kind of a more intense version of what i have been doing for seven years, which is to travel around the united states and talk to americans and listen to what they are saying about their lives, and listen to what they're saying about how the government affects them and problems they are dealing with. and so i believe i have met an incredible group of people who are not atypical americans. they are normal americans, really hard-working, really decent, inspirational across the country. that has been my exp

that is a game, new hampshire. our communities are getting sucked dry and depleted and we are looking around wondering where the value went. and the biggest winners in that when he first century economy are paying zero in taxes. what we have to do is get our fair share your fair share, make sure amazon, this chilly dollar tech company actually is paying this million dollar company actually is paying taxes. equally important, we have to put that value into our hands come into your hands, the hands of the american people. build a trickle up economy from our people, our families and our communities up. if we put this thousand dollars per month into your hands, where will the money go and real-life? i'm going to guess a lot of it will stay right here in nashua or new hampshire. it would be good for the chamber of commerce. if you run a business here, you think maybe people will be patronizing my business more often. the money would be going into car repairs you have been putting off, daycare expenses, little league sig

i know how new hampshire works. [applaus [applause] >> it's also clear that never has it been more important to have a president who genuinely delivers for the middle class of our country. life is hard still for too many people. too many people fighting to make up for the lost ground of 2008 and the fiscal crisis which, by the way, president obama and vice-president biden brought us back from the brink of that crisis and the fact is -- [applause] >> one of the reasons i'm here today is that i understand that joe biden from scranton, pennsylvania grew up understanding the challenges, what it means to pay those bills. what it means to find a job. his own father had to move to do that. this is a man who comes from the middle class, who will fight the middle class, not a phony who comes down a golden-plated escalator and promises to get rid of a swamp which he feeds with morale gators than we've ever seen before. are you kidding me?

vulnerable, a leader in the field on policy and take bold positions, including the role of iowa and new hampshire in our voting process. last night he made news by being the first candidate to say out loud that iowa and new hampshire should not go first, sparking a national debate and he purposely made that statement in iowa and wanted to come here and talk with iowans about why he stands by those comments. i'm pleased to welcome secretary julian castro. [applaus [applause]. a few words about the format. i am going to ask a few questions first and then we'll open up the floor. i have not shared the questions i'm going to ask with secretary castro or anyone associated with his campaign and neither i nor secretary castro knows who in the audience is a supporter or the floor is open and we're hoping to have an exchange of ideas. my first question is the -- you know, iowa is a small state and a state that's relatively inexpensive to campaign in and doesn't it kind of make sense, in a sense, to have a small state go first so that as the nominating process is pretty open and not just to the frontrunner

mayor buttigieg: i think iola and new hampshire -- iowa and new hampshire could really help, for sure. because a lot of voters in south carolina are looking for the message. we've got that. they are also looking for engagement. they are looking for a sense of viability, which you can demonstrate. the very first thing. the other thing that drops off as you get out of these states, is whether people literally know who i am. part of that is getting on the ground. part of it is the national conversation. there is a huge boost in that. if we can succeed here. >> do you think your viability in iowa and new hampshire could be adversely affected by people here looking ahead and saying ok, he can do well here but south carolina, nevada, beyond that, he is polling in third place. mayor buttigieg: it creates a lot of problems. you just psych yourself out. i just have to convince voters here that want the best president, and if i do that, i will succeed here and everywhere else. ♪ [applause] mayor buttigieg: thank you so much. all right. thanks so much for joining us. thank you to our host. spons

different in iowa and new hampshire. bernie has been relatively consistent. then you have to look at mayor viablemerging as a very candidate coming out of basically nowhere. the mayor of south bend and now he is leading the polls in iowa and new hampshire. he has a real good chance to win both of those states. those are some things that surprised me the most. host: who do you think has the easiest path right now? >> if you look at the nomination i think it is biden. i think biden has demonstrated the ability to have the broadest older african-american voters, african-american working-class white voters, blue-collar white voters. i think if you look at his strength nationally he is still the front runner nationally. it may not be the case in iowa or new hampshire but i think that may not prevent him from winning the nomination. into south carolina and those super tuesday states where a significant number of african americans will vote, that favors biden. host: i want to come back to that. philip, from a republican perspective. of the skeptical democratic field

a senator from new hampshire. if we ran the presidential election the way jeanne shaheen has run her races in new hampshire, we will win. if we run like we're running in a deep blue state like massachusetts or california we , open up the risk that we could lose. that would be a tragedy. for us to turn around the judiciary and for us to put in place the progressive policies that we need to be able to address childhood poverty and be able to address climate change, it is going to require us to have a majority in the senate. my main point is, don't try to say one thing in the primary and another in the general election. you got to have the discipline to say the same thing in the primary and the same thing in the general election. if we do that, we will win. host: did gary hart give you any advice? sen. bennet: he did. he has mostly given me inspiration. he said look, i was at 1% in the polls once, too. he ended up going on to win the new hampshire primary because of a lot of people's help including jeanne shaheen. hi

one inside one of the classic venues nor the entire new hampshire campaign.about every presidential hopeful who has run in this primary has done an event here and joe biden will be the latest to do so in just about an hour. it's one of his probably last trips to new hampshire before he goes back to iowa where he probably more than any other candidate spent the month of december there and he'll return there later this week. he has a bit of a closing message to new hampshire voters in a state where independent voters are important. he's emphasizing something that is part of his stump speech everywhere, and that's the idea of unifying the country. something his opponents have criticized him before. let's take a look at what he said yesterday at a town hall. >> i think unifying the country is absolutely critical. i don't think it's naive to think that -- i understand this new republican party well. i've been on the receiving end of donald trump's millions worth of ads tryigoing after my famild going after me. i understand them and i understand them well. but it's

new hampshire 11 percent.est virginia the hardest hit 9 percent so at least we're turning in the right direction and i see many people are in their chair. so i you have been on the frontlines for a very long time and you have been day by day and step-by-step with setbacks wondering where is the money where is the help. why doesn't somebody raise more money and awareness and education information. i feel that we are chipping away to say slowly doesn't change overnight so we do feel there are little shades of hope that we should keep pushing forward but i would like to tell you something that is country incredibly divided especially this week a country that is divided there is no division whatsoever when it came time for congress last year to vote with little comprehensive peace of legislation hr six past with every single democratic vote. think about that people say would like to vote for this or the trade deal or the workforce development but i want to win. hr six is so overwhelmingly a win for people of this

do you think you're going to be able to pull off and keep your commitment to voters in new hampshireown halls? at some point you can't be in two places at once. >> you can't be in two places at once which is why i'm going to spend as much time between now and then in new hampshire, but it is what it is. we have a responsibility, all of us, that we've got to fulfill. there's no one else to fulfill that responsibility. my hope is that what will come out of this is a reacquaintance with all of us as americans about why the rule of law is so important and the fact that nobody, including the president, is above the rule of law. >> senator schumer, he's laying out today his opening bid if you will for how he would like to see the trial proceed in the senate. this would include testimony from folks like mick mulvaney and john bolton. to get that from -- to get republicans to go along with that since they are in the majority, would you be willing to negotiate on witnesses that republicans would like to call during the trial as well? >> i suppose it depends on who those witnesses are, but sur

and we are nine weeks away from new hampshire's primary.here one of 2020's democratic front-runners, former vice president joe biden, ended the week. cnn's arlette stynes is traveling with the biden campaign in hampton, new hampshire. >> reporter: dave and amara, fresh off of his eight-day bus tour in iowa, joe biden made a stop in new hampshire, where he was joined by his latest endorser, john kerry. kerry is a big get for biden's campaign. he's not just the former secretary of state but he also served next door to new hampshire as secretary of mma massachusetts. he won here in 2004, in the primary and the general election. and one thing that john kerry talked about overand over was joe biden's experience. saying he is the best positioned on foreign policy, on climate and also issues related to middle class. >> experience, wisdom, muscle memory, joe biden is a little bit like the new england patriots, i think -- fun to watch the promise and potential of young quarterbacks. but come february, i like having an experienced quarterback like to

it's a similar story in new hampshire. there's only been one poll released this entire month.evada hasn't seen a single poll and south carolina has only had one come out as well. four total polls from all four combined early battleground states the month of december. jeremy peters joins us now live from des moines to talk about this. jeremy, this is a throw back. it's like it's 1976 again and we're trying to figure out if jimmy carter is catching fire in the cornfields of iowa. tell us without many polls to look at here, what does it feel like on the ground in iowa? >> i think it's interesting. you make a good point why there haven't been more of these state level polls because we're really not living in an era right now where we're running national elections. this election is going to come down to a handful of states, a few battleground states and the nominees who advance will need to get through places like iowa. and right now the polls in iowa are not telling us very much. i will say though that the polls in iowa have never really been useful for the horse race element of i

he joins us now from the campaign trail in manchester, new hampshire. thanks so much for joining me, govern. ,>> i'm glad to be with y yamiche, but, come on! really? that's the introduction? "he's the one who wasn't on the stage"? come on! >> alcindor: well, you're here now with us. >> i'll get there. >> alcindor: you gotn this race just last month. what do you see is your path to the nomination, given that some people think that maybe you entered too late? >> well, it's... i'm later but not late. and i... i thank you for the chance to make that point because, until the voters vote. and what's quite clear even if you do trust the polling that's out there is that thnde are other ates who have been in for a long time, spent a lot of money and a lot of me, and it's still a wide open race. large, large proportions, majorities of undecided voters in all of the early states. so, we are respectful of the calendar. we will compete in all of the early states. we're spenng a lot of time in new hampshire and southca lina, in particular, because primaries are just.

when i'm in new hampshire, one of the early states, i think about somebody like the senator from new hampshire. if we ran the presidential election the way she ran her race in new hampshire, we will win. if we run like we're running in state, wee space -- open up the risk that we could lose. that would be a tragedy. for us to turn around the placeary and to put in the progressive policies that we need to be able to address childhood poverty and climate change, it will require us to have a majority in the senate. don't want to say one thing in the primary and another in the general election. you have to have the discipline to say the same thing in the primary and general election. if we do that, we will win. >> did gary hart give you any advice? >> he did. he mostly gave me an -- inspiration. i was 1% in the polls once, too. he ended up going on to win the new hampshire primary because of a lot of people's help. his advice mostly was to get in the race. he's a big believer that it's important to be involved. understands that much of this process is putting one foot in front of the othe
