"Bernie" and "Pete" lead in New Hampshire

Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg, the two Iowa primary winners, who both claimed to have won in this small rural state last week, are again racing in New Hampshire, where they are called to vote Democratic voters on Tuesday. Iowa's two-ballot, complex-rule ballot turned into a fiasco due to errors and delays in the counting of votes. Sanders says he won the popular vote, while Pete Buttigieg says he has won the number of delegates who will vote at the Democratic convention this summer to nominate the candidate who will challenge Donald Trump at the polls next November.

"Bernie" is 78 and represents the left of the party, "Pete " is 38 and embodies the moderate wing among the Democrats. " I am fighting against a candidate, Pete Buttigieg among others, who has raised contributions from more than forty billionaires, " accused Bernie Sanders on television sets. "Our support comes to us from the working classes , " continued the senator from Vermont, who raised $ 25 million last month from small donors. " Bernie is rather rich and I would gladly accept a contribution from him" , replied, ironically, Peter Buttigieg.

Popular support

The other nomination contestants, such as Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden or Amy Klobuchar, were, at the start of the campaign, relegated behind. The pressure is particularly strong on Joe Biden, who disappointed in Iowa with a modest fourth place. The 77-year-old former vice-president of Barack Obama has been a favorite in national polls since he entered the campaign. " If Bernie wins the nomination, I will work hard for him, but it will be difficult for a Democratic Socialist candidacy ," said Joe Biden on ABC. He also attacked Pete Buttigieg, who challenged him to the centrist electorate. " No one has ever won the nomination without being able to have overwhelming support from the African American community ," said Joe Biden to Pete Buttigieg.
