Amy Klobuchar is gaining traction in New Hampshire
EXETER, New Hampshire — It’s become a familiar ritual for Amy Klobuchar — an impressive debate followed by a rush of fundraising and national media attention, then nothing.But whether it’s because the election is in full swing now or because two other candidates — Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren — appear to be fading, Klobuchar is gaining traction in New Hampshire.
“I don’t have the biggest bank account in this race, I didn’t have the biggest name ID going into this. But what I have is grit.”Finishing in front of either Biden or Warren in Tuesday’s primary would add new life to Klobuchar’s candidacy, following a fifth-place result in Iowa. Finishing in front of both of them would almost certainly have a catalytic effect on the Minnesota senator’s campaign.
In campaign appearances in recent days, Klobuchar has described her disappointment about the outcome of President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial while celebrating the “moments of bravery” she witnessed, including Republican Sen. Mitt Romney’s vote to convict. “As you probably heard, we’re on a bit of a surge,” she told a large crowd at the historic Exeter Town Hall.
Stopping for an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier over the weekend, Klobuchar quickly volunteered that among the many newspaper endorsements she has received was one from the New Hampshire Union Leader, a traditionally conservative newspaper.But it is not Klobuchar’s ideology that she is selling principally to make a visceral connection here. It is her hardiness – in the debates, in her campaign announcement in a Minnesota blizzard last year .
Klobuchar, like Warren and Bernie Sanders, was sidelined from the campaign during Trump’s impeachment trial, and acknowledges that being “bolted to that desk” kept her from the campaign at a critical time.
