The Granite State is feeling the Bern. Bernie Sanders narrowly won the New Hampshire primary, putting the left-wing lawmaker on track to claim front-runner status as a couple of his low-polling contenders pulled the plug on their campaigns. With 95% Sanders was the winner of the first-in-the-nation primary with roughly 26% of the vote, edging out Pete Buttigieg\u2019s runner-up 24%.<\/p>\n

Let me say tonight that this victory here is the beginning of the end for Donald Trump, the democratic socialist Vermont senator said to deafening roars at a primary night party in Manchester, New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

As Sanders claimed his second win in a row, two of his long-shot challengers, Andrew Yang \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and Michael Bennet, dropped out of the race even before the final New Hampshire tally landed.<\/p>\n

Yang, a New York-born entrepreneur, and Bennet, a Democratic senator from Colorado, were in eighth and 11th place respectively in the early results with only about 3% of the vote between them. Both have struggled to raise cash or score higher than single digits in most polls.<\/p>\n

The first openly major presidential candidate in U.S. history and a former mayor of South Bend, Ind., struck a diplomatic, upbeat tone as he addressed supporters after Sanders\u2019 projected victory.<\/p>\n

We all share the spirit that we heard from some of our volunteers at a poll site earlier today who welcomed a competing candidate with chants of \u2018vote blue no matter who,\u2019\u201d Buttigieg said. \u201cWe are on the same team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amy Klobuchar was close behind the front-running duo, with roughly 20% of the vote, marking a major improvement for her as she vies for the same moderate segment of the vote as Buttigieg.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Warren, whose campaign has faded in the polls in recent weeks, was in fourth with about 9.5%, putting her outside the cut-off limit to secure any national delegates from the New Hampshire contest.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden also trailed far behind the leader pack, landing fifth in the early reporting with less than 8.5% of the vote, leaving him without New Hampshire delegates as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
