Biden Admits Likely Defeat In NH Primary Debate
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.
