On Monday, Hillary Clinton pulled off a narrow victory in the Iowa caucuses, with 49.9% over Bernie Sanders’ 49.5%. In race that was too close to call until the end, Clinton won by a small margin. Marin O’Malley, who received less than 1% of the vote, announced that he was suspending his campaign. In Des Moines, Clinton was joined on stage by Bill and Chelsea when she gave her speech, but she did not go so far to call last night a victory. She thanked Iowans for their support and said that she looks forward to the primaries to come. She said, “It is rare, it is rare that we have the opportunity we do now. To have a real contest of ideas, to really think hard about what the Democratic Party stands for and what we want the future of our country to look like if we do our part to build it. I am a progressive who gets things done for people. I am honored to stand in the long line of American reformers who make up our minds that the status quo is not good enough, that standing still is not an option and that brings people together to find ways to improve the lives of Americans.” A video of her speech is below.
Today, Clinton returns to New Hampshire to prepare for the November 9 primary. For all the latest, follow our revamped Scheduled Events page and follow Clinton on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Hopefully everyone was able to watch last night’s Democratic Debate on CNN. In the first debate between the Democratic candidates, it was clear that Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bernie Sanders are the front runners and, in the majority of the countless reaction, review, and “who won” articles, Clinton has been declared the winner of last night’s debate. She was precise, strong on policy, and strong against her opponents. Her experience in national politics took center stage (both figuratively and literally). Clinton will now hit the road and continue her campaign before the next debate in November.
Below are two brief review videos from the CNN debate, and a full video from the debate will be added once a high quality version is available.
Since the mid-term election defeat for several key Democrats, many in the media have been debating whether Hillary Clinton is a winner or loser following the election. Many in the media point to key wins or losses to support their point of view, but no one (as far as we can tell) has analyzed the numbers. Clinton made appearances for (at least) 23 candidates: 10 won, 12 lost, and 1 is still facing a runoff.
While the numbers don’t lie, the exposure she received made her winner in many respects. Whether you view this election cycle as a win or loss for Clinton, she returned to politics, asserted her position, and supported her party in a year when heavy losses were predicted across the board.
The chart above includes a list of candidates Clinton supported and whether they won or lost. NOTE: The list only includes candidates for whom Clinton made a personal appearance. She did assist other candidates by recording phone calls and posting messages of support to the candidate’s social media pages or website.
