The closely watched New Hampshire primary finally arrived Tuesday. How did the vote reshape the 2020 Democratic presidential field? Here are five things to take away from the results.
Sanders, Buttigieg and Klobuchar take the top three spots in New Hampshire, while Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden finish in single digits.The ascent of Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar into the top tier leaves a cluster of moderates still competing to be the clear counterweight to Sanders. Both she and fellow Midwesterner Pete Buttigieg lack infrastructure and support in key states that vote in the next several weeks, creating little motivation for either Biden or Warren to exit the race just yet.
Any number of twists and turns could emerge before the field shakes out. A fight that rages on into the nominating convention in the summer is the last thing the party needs this cycle. But that risk increased a notch Tuesday.Sen. Amy Klobuchar speaks during a primary night event in Concord, N.H., the former South Bend, Ind., mayor, both have had phenomenal ascents. The 38-year-old Buttigieg came from out of nowhere a year ago to power his way to the front of the pack in this race.
The billionaire’s entire case is built around the party needing a strong, tested candidate whom moderate voters can coalesce around. The New Yorker is promising to be the candidate Biden was supposed to be. Some voters are intrigued. Bloomberg’s poll numbers keep rising amid his, and a large swath of New Hampshire voters told pollsters they would have liked for him to be on the ballot here.
If Klobuchar or Buttigieg does not quickly dominate that middle lane, they risk getting muscled right out of it when Bloomberg shows up alongside them on the ballot in March.
