On a frigid day, heated New Hampshire primary may help define a murky Democratic race
Bernie Sanders eked out a narrow victory Tuesday in the New Hampshire primary, besting a pair of more moderate Midwestern rivals who together out-polled the champion of progressive Democrats on his New England home turf.
Klobuchar, an afterthought for much of the contest despite a number of well-received debate performances — including one Friday night — appeared to be the biggest beneficiary. Buttigieg, who had appeared to plateau just a few weeks ago, benefited in New Hampshire from a burst of momentum after finishing in a virtual tie with Sanders in Iowa. He spent much of the last week attacking his rival, a democratic socialist who speaks in bold strokes of leading a political revolution, as too dogmatic and divisive to lead Democrats into the fall campaign.
Nearly a third of voters said the debate was an important factor in their decision, and nearly 20% called it the most important factor, according to exit polling. Moreover, fully two-thirds of Klobuchar supporters said they had made up their minds in just the last few days.“My heart is full tonight,” she told ecstatic supporters in Concord. “While there are still ballots to count, we have beaten the odds every step of the way.
Victory, or least a strong showing, promised to yield the top finishers a further spurt of momentum and, more concretely, an infusion of cash and a first or second look from the many voters just starting to pay close attention to the race. “It ain’t over, man,” he told supporters in Columbia, the state capital. “We’re just getting started.”
Buttigieg won more than a quarter of those voters and Klobuchar more than 2 in 10. By contrast, Sanders won handily among those who said they preferred a candidate who held the same positions as them on the issues.
