Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
2020 presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden started off the Democrat debate in Manchester, New Hampshire, on a low note.
Coming off his big loss in the Iowa caucuses, Biden feels he is going to lose the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday night.
Biden spent a lot of time in Iowa while some of his competitors were trapped in Washington, D.C., at the Senate impeachment trial.
