New Hampshire has voted, the polls have closed, the votes are tabulated, and mostly reported. As expected, Sanders has won with 25.8%. Buttigieg is a close second with 24.4%, and Klobuchar has 19.7%. Everyone else is in single digits, including Warren and Biden in that order at 4th and 5th.
Yang and Bennett have formally dropped out, bye-kus will follow. It’s clear why Biden didn’t stick around to be humiliated, with a 5th place finish he must have seen coming.
I see no reason for any of the top three to stop, and Biden will stay in until he is defeated in one or more minority-rich states. Realistically, the remaining six should pack it in. Hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the numbers.
