Bernie Sanders Wins New Hampshire Primary with Key Support from Youth Voters

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has won the New Hampshire primary a week after he won the popular vote in Iowa.

As of Wednesday morning, with 89% of precincts reporting, Sanders has 25.8% of the vote, narrowly beating former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who is at 24.4%. Senator Amy Klobuchar placed third with nearly 20% of the vote.

Both Senator Elizabeth Warren and former Vice President Joe Biden received under 10% of the vote, after seeing their support plummet in recent weeks and months.

At a celebration in Manchester, Bernie Sanders said his victory in New Hampshire is the beginning of the end for Donald Trump.

As the results of the New Hampshire primary came in, two more Democratic candidates dropped out: Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado and entrepreneur Andrew Yang, who campaigned for a universal basic income.

For more on the New Hampshire primary and what comes next in the presidential race, Democracy Now! speaks with John Nichols of The Nation.
