Amy Klobuchar delivered a modified victory speech to supporters in Iowa late Monday night, becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate to address the delayed verdict of the state's first-in-the-nation caucuses
Amy Klobuchar delivered a modified victory speech to supporters in Iowa late Monday night, becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate to address the delayed verdict of the state's first-in-the-nation caucuses.
"You probably heard we don't know the results. But I did not want to let another minute go by without thanking all of you," Klobuchar said at her campaign headquarters in Des Moines. "We know there's delays, but we know one thing: We are punching above our weight.
The moderate, Midwestern lawmaker had staked much of her candidacy on an impressive performance in Iowa. Although zero percent of Iowa precincts had reported delegate totals by the time of Klobuchar's speech, initial entrance polls showed a close competition among the party's four top-tier candidates: Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
"Somehow, some way, I'm going to get on a plane tonight to New Hampshire. And we are bringing this ticket to New Hampshire," Klobuchar said. "So even in a crowded field of candidates, even during the well-earned impeachment hearing of Donald J. Trump, which kept me bolted to my Senate desk for the last two weeks, we kept fighting. And you kept fighting for me."
