"Hold strong. "That is the message I told my supporters in Iowa tonight.

"We’ve been running a true Iowa campaign so far. We have held more than 170 events, I have stood on more than 170 chairs, and I have taken my jacket off more than 170 times before answering questions from caucus goers across the state.

"As I told my supporters in Iowa, hold strong, and lift me up as a new leader."
