Former Democratic National Committee Chairman and Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe knocked his own party on Friday, suggesting that the Iowa caucuses debacle hurt its chances going into the 2020 presidential election. "Here we're trying to take on Donald Trump and we're trying to say we can run the government, and yet we can't count 170,000 votes," McAuliffe told CNN, adding: "We're playing on Trump's turf which we should never cede." By the time the 2024 election season rolls around, he said, Americans can expect to see a different state starting the primary season. "The other thing I haven’t liked about the Iowa caucus is it’s a state that’s predominantly white, as is New Hampshire," he said. "And you have the Democratic Party, which gets support from the African-American community 95 percent of the time, 70 percent of Hispanics support our party, and yet they’re not represented in the first two contests," he said.
