Bernie Sanders topped New Hampshire's primary, with 25.7% of the vote. Pete Buttigieg finished close behind with 24.4%
ON THE EVE of the primary, Joe Biden, the former vice-president and erstwhile front-runner, was in a church gymnasium in Manchester. He walked out to the assembled crowd of a few hundred as Carrie Underwood’s song, “The Champion”, blared from speakers. It had been specially selected by Mr Biden’s wife, Jill.
Mr Sanders now looks to be the front-runner to win the nomination. Bettors have punched his odds of victory up to 48%. He leads in published polls in Nevada, which will next conduct a caucus on February 22nd, and has narrowed the gap with Mr Biden in South Carolina, which holds a primary on February 29th. Black primary voters, who make up roughly half of the Democratic electorate in South Carolina, have overwhelmingly supported Mr Biden thus far.
Should Mr Sanders win three or even all four of the early primary states ahead of Super Tuesday—the delegate-rich state primaries held on March 3rd—he will be in an enviable position to get an unshakeable hold on the nomination. It will be of great help to him if Democrats are unable to coalesce around a single, moderate alternative. Right now, Mr Buttigieg seems to have the strongest claim to that title. But Mr Biden will probably limp on for a few more weeks.
