Date: Monday, February 10, 2020
Time: 7 pm ET
Location: SNHU Arena, Manchester

Reporting on the rally tonight from CBS News:

President Trump travels to New Hampshire for a rally on the eve of the New Hampshire primaries Tuesday, where CBS News’ latest poll shows a close race between Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg, the candidates who finished at the top of the Iowa caucuses last week.

In the CBS News Battleground Tracker poll released Sunday, Sanders had 29% support, compared to Buttigieg’s 25%. The former South Bend, Indiana mayor’s support has shot up since January — his numbers are 12 points higher going into the primary.

Mr. Trump will be on the GOP primary ballot, facing former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld and former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh, although Walsh dropped his presidential bid last week. In 2016, he won the GOP New Hampshire primary, although he lost the state to Hillary Clinton in November.

Mr. Trump rallied in New Hampshire in August, attracting a large crowd at Southern New Hampshire University. As was the case in August, Mr. Trump is likely to tout the strength of the economy one of the primary arguments for his reelection.

Reporting on the final day of the trial from CNN:

Sen. Doug Jones, an Alabama Democrat facing an uphill reelection battle in 2020, said Wednesday morning he will vote to convict President Donald Trump on both articles of impeachment.

Jones was one of a handful of senators whose vote was still in question on the verdict of Trump’s impeachment trial, which will come to an end with a vote Wednesday that’s all but guaranteed to end in an acquittal.

The Senate will vote at 4 p.m. ET for each of the two articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The outcome is a forgone conclusion: Senate Republicans have a 53-47 majority in the chamber, and so far no Republicans have said they will vote to remove the President from office. A two-thirds majority is required for conviction.

The final vote tally is still an open question, with a handful of senators who have not said how they are voting.

“After many sleepless nights, I have reluctantly concluded that the evidence is sufficient to convict the President for both abuse of power and obstruction of Congress,” Jones said in a statement explaining how he will vote.

The Democratic Party of Iowa has scheduled a press conference for 5 pm ET on Tuesday to begin the release of Iowa Caucus results. A “majority” of the results will be released and then the rest of the vote will be released as the results are certified.

Report on the release of the results from Reuters:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Iowa Democratic Party has told presidential campaigns it will release more than half of Monday’s delayed caucus results at 5 p.m. ET (2200 GMT) on Tuesday.

“We have always said that we have a paper trail in this process,” Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price told campaigns on a briefing call. “We’ve always had to chase down results.”

Price said that the results would be released as they are finalized.
