Joe Biden lays low ahead of crucial New Hampshire debate

Amidst a week of hopscotching from Iowa to New Hampshire, former Vice President Joe Biden is taking some time off the trail, heading to Delaware to meet with advisers ahead of the eighth Democratic debate Friday, hosted by ABC News.

The debate could be crucial for Biden, who is coming off what he called a "gut punch" in Iowa due to a lackluster performance in the caucuses, and looking to regain some ground in the race ahead of New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary Tuesday.

With 100% of precincts reporting in Iowa late Thursday, Biden was fourth with 16% of state delegate equivalents, trailing three other candidates.

An adviser to Biden told ABC News to expect to continue to see a more aggressive pitch from Biden, following his sharp criticism of fellow candidates, Sen. Bernie Sanders and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg on the trail Wednesday. Buttigieg and Sanders topped the Iowa caucuses with 26.2% and 26.1%, respectively, though Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez has called for a recanvassing in the wake of "broad irregularities."
