News organizations have called the NHPrimary for Bernie Sanders. Here's everything you need to know about how the night played out
Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty Images After chaos and frustration dominated the news cycle surrounding the Iowa caucuses, New Hampshire blessed the electoral schedule with a simple and restorative primary. About three hours after polls closed, news organizations called the race in favor of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who won by a slim margin over former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
How does the delegate math work? New Hampshire has 24 delegates that will be allocated proportionally according to the popular vote — though candidates need to clear 15 percent support to be eligible. The current vote count suggests that Sanders and Buttigieg will receive nine delegates each, while Amy Klobuchar is expected to pick up six.
Meanwhile, Amy Klobuchar’s strong performance in New Hampshire — where she picked up 12 more points than expected from poll aggregates — keeps her in the race. Responding to her 20-point haul in New Hampshire, the Minnesota senator is reportedly expanding her staff in Super Tuesday states. Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren, meanwhile, will face serious difficulties proving the viability of their campaigns moving forward.
The New Hampshire primary also slimmed the race significantly Following their poor showings on Tuesday, Andrew Yang and Michael Bennet announced they were suspending their campaigns, while Deval Patrick is expected to announce his plan to drop out on Wednesday.
