Bernie Sanders held a small lead over Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar as Tuesday night's results were coming in in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden were vying for fourth, but neither was on track to receive delegates.
While Sanders marches forward, moderates are struggling to unite behind a candidate. After essentially tying with Sanders for first place in Iowa, Buttigieg, the 38-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, began his day as the centrist front-runner. But Klobuchar was mounting a spirited bid for the same voters.
Some candidates sought to undercut the importance of the New Hampshire election, but history suggested otherwise. No Democrat has ever become the party’s presidential nominee without finishing first or second in New Hampshire. Trump also attacked Michael Bloomberg, who was showing signs of strength in polling around the country but wasn’t on the New Hampshire ballot. The president highlighted Bloomberg’s comments during a 2015 appearance at the Aspen Institute in which he said the way to bring down murder rates was to “put a lot of cops” in minority neighborhoods because that’s where “all the crime is.”
“Regardless of what happens on Tuesday, we plan to move forward,” Biden senior adviser Symone Sanders said.
