(Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg has a narrow lead in the delegate count. Senator Bernie Sanders has a narrow lead in the equivalent of the popular vote.

And after the chaos in Iowa, Democrats are reaching for the Xanax and wondering how their party will pull it together to defeat an incumbent president. In this crisis moment, Democrats have gone full circular firing squad. On a party conference call, a top Sanders aide accused Joe Biden’s team of holding up the results to postpone the release of a weak finish. Campaigning in New Hampshire, Senator Elizabeth Warren unloaded on the Iowa state party, telling officials to “get it together” and release the full results.

Democrats are right to be nervous: The tight early results, matched with Mr. Bloomberg’s cash infusion, may portend a far more drawn-out primary process than many in the party had hoped. But perhaps most troubling for Democrats is a number that’s gotten far less attention. Tucked into an Iowa Democratic Party news release today was the fact that early data suggested only about 170,000 people voted this year — well below the 240,000 who participated in the caucuses in 2008. That may be an indication that none of the Democratic candidates are inspiring the kind of groundswell of enthusiasm that powered their party to the White House in 12 years ago.

[Mr. Bloomberg’s new ad](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgHJStP0TcaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1QVVdLaDFiN0RBRSZ0ZT0xJm5sPW9uLXBvbGl0aWNzIHdpdGggbGlzYSBsZXJlciZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDIwMDIwNSZjYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNTc0MyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTIwOTc4JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1Ml9jbl8yMDIwMDIwNVcDbnl0QgoAIK0POl4fIDtlUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) will invade Mr. Trump’s favorite safe space on television, Fox News. Through a national cable buy that began on Monday, the ad, which portrays a White House “beset by lies, chaos and corruption,” will be worked into Mr. Bloomberg’s heavy political ad rotation. The message: Using unflattering images of Mr. Trump that are sure to irk the president, the ad declares that the “real state of the union” is a portrait of a broken country, rife with dysfunction, and lays the blame at the president’s feet. But like nearly every Bloomberg campaign ad that attacks the president, the ad switches halfway through to a positive argument for Mr. Bloomberg’s candidacy as someone who “brings people together” and “gets results” before ending on the campaign mantra: “Mike will get it done.” The takeaway: The debut of the State of the Union ad comes as Mr. Bloomberg [announced that he would be doubling his advertising buy](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgHJStP0T_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wMi8wNC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9taWNoYWVsLWJsb29tYmVyZy1jYW1wYWlnbi1hZHMuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW9uLXBvbGl0aWNzIHdpdGggbGlzYSBsZXJlciZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDIwMDIwNSZjYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNTc0MyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTIwOTc4JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MjIwMjAwMjA1VwNueXRCCgAgrQ86Xh8gO2VSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) in the wake of the chaotic Iowa caucuses. Having already spent more than $314 million on television ads, Mr. Bloomberg is sure to get under Mr. Trump’s skin with this significant expansion of an already historically expensive campaign. But it’s also helping Mr. Bloomberg in the Democratic primary. In numerous national polls, he has seen his standing steadily rise, reaching 12 percent among Democratic voters whose state primary is after Super Tuesday, [according to Monmouth University](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgHJStP0T9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubW9ubW91dGguZWR1L3BvbGxpbmctaW5zdGl0dXRlL2RvY3VtZW50cy9tb25tb3V0aHBvbGxfdXNfMDEyMjIwLnBkZi8_dGU9MSZubD1vbi1wb2xpdGljcyB3aXRoIGxpc2EgbGVyZXImZW1jPWVkaXRfY25fMjAyMDAyMDUmY2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTU3NDMmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yMDk3OCZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTIyMDIwMDIwNVcDbnl0QgoAIK0POl4fIDtlUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).
