What: State of the Union

Date: Tuesday, February 4, 2020

Time: 9 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. CT

How to watch: The 2020 SOTU address will be carried live on all broadcast and cable news channels including ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and Fox Business

Reporting from CBS News:

It will be only the second time a State of the Union address will be delivered while the Senate is holding an impeachment trial. In 1999, President Clinton made no mention of the impeachment trial during his second-to-last State of the Union on January 19. Mr. Clinton was ultimately acquitted on charges of obstruction of justice and perjury by the Senate.

The Senate is scheduled to hold the final verdict vote on the impeachment trial on Wednesday.

The State of the Union will be held a day after the Iowa caucuses this year. Mr. Trump has two Republican challengers, former Massachusetts Governor William Weld and former Congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois, but neither poses a substantial threat to the president in Iowa or nationally. The president won the Republican caucuses in Iowa Monday.

Confusion Tuesday Morning as Democrats Scramble for Iowa Caucus Results

by

Report from the CBS Early Show on the delayed Iowa caucus results.

Iowa Democrats were stunned and confused Monday night as technical issues surrounding the caucus forced a stumbling start to the battle for the Democratic nomination. Officials said they were confident Sunday night that nothing would go wrong, with the state party chairman assuring that Democrats were “probably the most prepared” they had ever been for a caucus.

Major Garrett takes a close look at what went wrong and what candidates are doing to move forward.

First-in-the-nation Iowa was supposed to be the first indication, based on votes and not polls, of where the candidates stand in the Democratic primary horse race.

But now, after the state party “found inconsistencies in the reporting” of the results, the candidates — and the country — are still in the dark regarding how caucusgoers felt Monday night.

“[T]he integrity of our process, and the results have and always will be our top priority,” Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) Chairman Troy Price told reporters during a 2 a.m. call. “At this point, the IDP is manually verifying all precinct results … We want to emphasize that this is a recording, not a hack on intrusion. And it’s exactly why we have a paper trail and systems in place to uphold the integrity of our process.”

The results are now expected sometime Tuesday, Price said, noting it’s “taking longer than expected” to validate the data they have against the paper trail.

“We have said all along, we have these backups in place for exactly this reason. We are updating campaigns and we will continue to provide updates as they are available,” he said.

Just ten minutes before the caucuses began, Price told reporters outside the media filing center that usually, results start coming in around 9 p.m., an hour after the contest kicks off. But 9 p.m. came and went, and then 10 p.m. came and went, and, at 10:45 p.m., an update from the Iowa Democratic Party finally arrived.

Iowa Caucus Countdown: Candidates Campaign in Final Hours

by

A look across the campaign trail in Iowa from NBC News with the 2020 Iowa Caucuses set to happen on Monday, February 3. A view from the major campaigns on the ground in Iowa as this unpredictable race begins to take shape in the final hours.

Reporting on Iowa from ABC News:

The Iowa caucuses, which have been the first nominating contest in the country since 1972, marks the official start of the presidential election season – giving the Hawkeye State an outsize influence over the primary race.

This cycle, the first-in-the-nation caucuses will be held on Monday, Feb. 3 with 41 delegates up for grabs on caucus night, significantly less than delegate-rich California’s 415.

Before Monday night’s caucuses, here is what you need to know about the 2020 Iowa caucuses:

What is a caucus?
Caucuses are neighborhood gatherings or party meetings that take place all at the same time all across the state.

Iowans gather at each caucus site, either at one of the 1,678 traditional precinct caucuses across the state, or at one of the 87 “satellite caucus” locations around the world, including 60 in-state, 24 across 13 states and Washington, D.C., and three abroad.

The satellite caucuses, which take place on Monday parallel to the precinct caucuses, are designed to expand accessibility and participation in the caucus process for those who cannot make it to their assigned precinct, like shift workers, people in retirement homes and Iowans living abroad; a few are also aimed at attracting voters in underrepresented communities.

At this year’s caucuses, the Iowa Democratic Party is preparing for their biggest turnout in modern political history, expecting to surpass 2008’s record-setting turnout when more than 239,000 voters showed up to caucus.
